[Tonque in cheek] That is a very long tunnel! and a very long commute! :lol:

Just seen the stock, at one end is 67015. It is sat in one of the new bay platforms at Birmingham Moor Street.

We will be in D09 and D10

One day to go, looking at the weather we may actually see some snow on the way around. Thanks for the advice and I hope to see a few of you tommorrow, just look for a mad woman with a little fox. Also sat with me will be my husband!

Tickets have arrived at home. Hubby is happy :-)

I know that the 1312 off Birminghamnew street is a HST set. Passes Bristol temple meads at 1441. If that helps.

Good idea, Done....

Hi, just want to say a big thank you to the train manager (if that is his title) on the 06:40 Cross Country Bristol Parkway to Edinburgh train this morning. It was diverted just after Cheltenham due to a line closure at Bromsgrove. He told us before the diversion and kept us informed as to...

Looking forward to Saturday, still no tickets yet. When should they arrive?

Pass that point the platform narrows, goes from the crinkly tin shed to the wire link fence. I was stood on the narrow bit..

Will have to borry my husbands Anorak then....or buy a nice pink one :lol:

I am slightly annoted this morning, the following in italics is a comment I have made to First Great Western. This morning I stood on Platform 3 at Bristol Parkway waiting for the 6:40 Edinburgh train. I was stood at the westerly end, before the sign that states ''DO NOT PASS THIS POINT'. I...

I have a similar question, I bought tickets yesterday at Filton Abbey wood (approx 15:00). Off peak period return to Cheltenham, then asked for a peak time return from Cheltenham to Shirley (west midlands) as i was due to pass through Moor street at 17:00 and so be in the middle of the...

My father in law had a similar phone call, they stated that they had detected a virus on his PC. He kept them on the line for a while until they realised that it was not connected to the internet. How they detected the virus is beyond me.. :lol:

I am one of the new members, just thought I would add up my total for the year. I have been helped as I travel every week from Bristol to Shirley (West Midlands) and back. My husband is the train buff, but I do a lot more miles his total for the year is just over the 200 as he came with me to...

Now I am married, I better start on His Christmas Jumper....I should have enough time on this trip to finish at least two arms. As for hair cuts, I have two questions 1) Will we have 240V available to give No2 haircuts? 2) What size bowl should I have? Now being very sad...

Just decided to add up my mileage, 1120miles 39 chains. Travel bristol to shirley every week. Boosted by a trip to Alexandra Palace and a detour on the way back to paddington via Greenwich.

Application for tickets sent off. Looks like it will be a long day, somehow we need to get into New Street at a very early hour. Beer has been ordered, so has the eats. My Husband will need a lot of these to see him through the day. I may have to bring something along to keep me busy.. any...

That is the bit I am looking forward to, I dragged him last year to the 37 day at Blaenavon, I was the one to stick my head out of the window to listen to the sweet sound...... We shall either be starting from Birmingham Airport or New Street, depends which is easier to get to from Shirley at...
