Off the top of my head (I feel there's a few I've missed here); All the various bits of old lines around Doncaster and Chesterfield (often) Rother Valley-Staveley (2016-2018) Monsal Trail (2015) Tissington Trail (2021) High Peak Trail (2020) Manifold Way (2021) All the...

Was in Derby this morning to watching 810010 head off to London Village, a few minutes late (and should've started from Sheffield), and all the displays saying "This train is not in service" rather than the destination. Still not managed a ride on one :'(

I went on a refurb'd Northern 156 last Christmas, first time on a 156 since EMR stopped using them, and I was quite surprised how decent it was when fairly clean ... obviously that probably won't last long. Didn't like 158's when they started, but do now, they run them or 150/2's seemingly at...

331's - When they replaced the 321's on DON-LDS I thought they were Ok, none of the slow wobbling out of Doncaster that the 321's used to provide. The only problem is that after the 333's started on this service I'm now disappointed when a 331 shows up, only 3-car so probably busier, and the...

745 and 755's, 720's too. Was down in Norwich a while back and they're all really good, the C2C 720's too (and their 357s are good too, similar feel to the 170 obviously, but way quicker acceleration). 195s - wasn't sure at first, now they've bedded in a bit I think they're quite decent...

Saw 1C11 at Chesterfield this morning, 810012 according to RTT (I was in the car park as it was leaving), seemed a bit slow setting off compared to the 222's but looking at the timings it was Ok

I was getting off the train at Stafford, there were a load of us and we were coming down a different staircase to the usual one. Halfway down the stairs were a couple of sets of doors, I walked up to the closed ones whilst others went through the open set on the right hand side of these (I...

Damn! And I've just gotten comfy in the pub :frown:

Dry Cleaning - Secret Love

Another vote for Brussels Midi, although Nord isn't that great either, it was really great to walk off Eurostar to the sights and smells around there ... I like Belgium's railways but they had (I've not been since 2018) a really bad graffiti problem on the trains and stations, probably could...

Saw pictures of it being taken down yesterday, had a walk past this morning and couldn't see much from the north end - there was a little bit left of the original structure over platform 4 but obviously the station's closed today so couldn't get a better look.

The High Llamas - Beet, Maize and Corn

Had an "interesting" journey home from Manchester-Doncaster last night. Got the 17:13 to Cleethorpes, 3 car and running a bit late already. Train gets to Stockport, it's announced it's going no further, can people go back to Manchester. First train due: ATW 67 + Mk4's on platform 3. Just before...

Can't be any worse than all the various fleets with mainly white liveries, can it? :s Or maybe, the NR departmental stock that's yellow already?

I don't think it works with the door on the front carriage, the red/white bits ending at the door on the 2nd carriage are better. Saw someone on FB earlier suggesting they just bring NSE back, and saw a mention about how to tell services apart, maybe something like; Have the blue-white-red in...

It was a 195 from Sheffield, I'd gotten a 170 - with muffled noise announcements - in from Doncaster to Sheffield, it was still a bit early Sunday morning so I've managed to allocate stock to the service even more randomly than Northern ... :lol:

An interesting thing I noticed yesterday with them - not so much the sheer pointlessness of them, and the ever expanding things which apparently need to be announced. I was out on a Derbyshire Wayfarer yesterday, did Sheffield to New Mills on a 175 and New Mills to Buxton on a 156. Could be...
