This is maybe a daft question but does anybody know why the local Arbroath to Dundee stoppers don’t utilise the third platform there? I appreciate that the south facing point from the platform and south crossover would need reinstating (and possibly track rehabilitation following vegetation...

Ask for it to be hand searched, which they should do.

As I was saying on the other thread, some of the layouts were spectacular in looks but a lot did feel like a diorama. I appreciate technical hiccups occur, especially with the more complex layouts but I got the impression that some of this could have been worked out before the show. I don’t...

I think Eastfield is just being used as an example, mostly due to its gargantuan size and amount of rolling stock that just sat there, it should have been one of the highlights of the show but it was one of the largest disappointments. You are right though, many others were like that. I was...

Absolutely, I should have said hello when there! I was just in a world of my own :lol: Agreed, it was very impressive looking but in the ten minutes I was there I saw one train move. A bit disappointing for a layout that had so much potential.

Some spectacular looking layouts but I was disappointed by the lack of running trains, which was something I didn’t understand.

It’s a shame it doesn’t start a week earlier for my week in Keswick. I’ll benefit from the new timetable for the last couple of days of the trip though.

Unfortunately some independent places do this, I had one do that recently and there was no mention on the menu of this. I asked for it to be removed, partly on principle but also as the service was poor. I don’t like this particular aspect of Americanism creeping in.

With the extended night service trial having recently finished, does anyone know how the services fared? Wondering if they were a success or not.

I have done: NI into RoI (and back) by rail France to Belgium by road Belgium to Netherlands by road Spain to Andorra (and back) by road USA to Canada by rail

The N Gauge Forum is a very valuable source of help for N Gauge. Worth looking there, along with RM Web as mentioned above.

Bergen - for 40NOK you can catch the Bergen Light Rail line 1 which runs from the terminal to the city centre at Byparkken. This avoids the expensive Airport Express bus at the cost of approximately 10-15 minutes of a longer journey time. @stadler - I did see your comment re Aberdeen and the...

For Aberdeen £4.00 single or £4.90 day ticket (covers all of Aberdeen City) or £7.60 return (valid for 28 days): Take the Stagecoach 727 public bus from outside the airport terminal to central Aberdeen (also runs past the majority of airport hotels). There is no premium fare from the airport...

Leeches. Absolutely petrified of them! And yet I have a morbid fascination with them, which makes no sense.

I’m amazed that the entry gates in my local Tesco still work. They are frequently either held open by customers entering to allow those just visiting the kiosk to exit or simply just pulled open by the latter. There used to be an exit gate next to the kiosk but it’s been ”sealed up” now...

What I am finding strange is that he stated the iPad was used as a hotspot for his kids rather than to watch the football directly. I’m curious as to why he allowed the government issued work ipad to be set up as a personal hotspot as, unless I’m wrong, you can’t just connect to it without...

With the night services having been running for a couple of weeks now, does anybody know how they are doing in terms of usage?

Some brief glimpses of The Pumas looking decent going forward but they were rare and short lived. Sadly a largely one sided affair.

I can’t really recall. I do suspect it is one of these yearnings that would result in major disappointment!

I’ve had a long yearning to try Tab Clear again. I really don’t know why, I can’t remember if it was ever good or not but it was all the rage when I was a kid.
