    I stand corrected!

    Virgin Trains East Coast launch day

    The picture on the new website is of a Pendolino, does this mean they will be running on the East Coast operation or is it just a tease?

    Birmingham New Street Construction

    The layout is similar to Edinburgh Waverley.

    Birmingham New Street Construction

    Some forget that New St station was once open to the elements.

    Class 67 for the Night Riviera

    Lets hope FGW suitably name the 67's after something appropriate to the region. Any ideas?

    Catering Manager sacked for telling Passengers the truth

    What a disgraceful state of affairs East Coast is in by firing this poor guy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2949163/Train-worker-sacked-telling-truth-sub-standard-food-board-colleagues-threatening-strike.html He should be reinstated immediately.

    FGW 57/6 (and DRS 57/3)s Unreliability

    I don't see the problem with 67's. Don't forget the NR is only 6 coaches long similar to the Cally Sleeper portions. Surely there should be no problems over the banks of Devon?

    Landslip between Banbury and Leamington Spa (31.01.2015)

    Does this landslip put back the class 68 training back or will the 68's take over as planned?

    Purchasing Chiltern Tickets

    Chiltern advise an extra 90 minutes on top of the normal times which seems logical. Consider everyone getting off the train finding a coach, waiting for stragglers, toilet runs, organising baggage etc. Traffic on and off the M40, seems about right to me. Anyone done train - bus - train yet...

    Virgin Trains East Coast launch day

    As long as he doesn't flash his bits under the kilt like he did for 'Little Red' look what happened to that!

    Purchasing Chiltern Tickets

    Whilst the blockade looks like continuing between Leamington and Banbury for sometime, if I bought a Chiltern ticket from Brum to Marylebone can I use it anytime on Virgin or are there restrictions on that route? The last thing I want to do is spend 3 -4 hours trying to get to the capital via...

    FGW 57/6 (and DRS 57/3)s Unreliability

    I really hope they get these problems sorted by the beginning of the summer timetable.

    46233 The Winter Cumbrain Mountain Express 31/1/15.

    Superb quality video, I must upscale it to 4K and see if it's any better. Well done!

    Landslip between Banbury and Leamington Spa (31.01.2015)

    If NR can fix Dawlish they can fix anything!

    ASLEF Fear "Terrible" Class 73

    You could be forgiven for thinking this was a scene from the Weymouth Quay days with workers walking in front of the engine on a single line next to the road.

    FGW 57/6 (and DRS 57/3)s Unreliability

    Dare I say it perhaps the new 68's should be trialed or is that too much to expect given the 57's poor reliability.

    Taking photos at London St Pancras

    If photography is forbidden why the hell don't they put up signs to that effect? In aviation we tell passengers that photography is strictly prohibited at some sensitive airports around the world. We also tell passengers that drug smuggling is a capital offence prior to landing at certain...

    Conductor punched at Blackpool South Wed 14 Jan

    You'll be lucky if they did the court of human rights would be down on them like a ton of s***e.

    Storm Reports Jan 14th/15th

    If a portion of the Caledonian sleeper is cancelled for whatever reason, is the rest of the train also cancelled? If not and half of the train runs what happens to passengers who have booked the next night for the cancelled portion?

    Future of Riviera Line at Dawlish 'threatened by clifftop development'

    This is the BBC's take on it.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-30742205 I agree with other posts, surely with erosion of the cliffs in time it would become dangerous. Look what's happening on the east coast. Sheer madness.
