Hello My friend is trying to find out the cheapest way to travel from Keighley to Glasgow return. Outward travel will be on Friday 5th August (departure after 0930) and return travel on Sunday 7th August, departure preferably some time late afternoon or early evening. He is willing to travel...

The system is showing 1B23 today as being 43045/NL11/43073 throughout. Hope that helps.

A couple of 'oh dear' moments: Back in 2003 I was having a day bashing 87's. Having arrived at Crewe I had an hour or so to kill until the next one to Lime Street, so I worked out that if the next Northbound Anglo-Scot was on time I could go to Bank Quay for a +1 onto the next one back to...

Thanks for the replies. Hadn't seen the Alfreton one when it came to purchasing, so went with the £10.25 option. Thanks again.

The up working is booked HST Mon - Sat from the new timetable. The down working is booked MK4 Mon - Fri and Sun, on Saturdays it's booked HST. Last Thursday was a last minute swap due to problems at Ardesley earlier in the day - 91108 was the loco that worked 1D45.

As of 1715 the EMT set was allocated to 1D51 (2130 KGX - LDS) tonight. 1D53, 2330 KGX - LDS is booked HST for reasons mentioned previously - the WTT route for this train is via Askern and Normanton.

Looking at the system, it was 1640 BDQ - SKI (2S44). 333002. I was also on the 1750 last night - wedged is certainly the word! 333 reliability is very poor at the moment. Tonight the 1726 LDS - SKI was caped at Shipley due to a brake problem - and the unit was.... 333002! Thought in fairness...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions - still not 100% sure what i'm going to do (depends on time etc) but at least that gives me some ideas!

43123 is back in traffic today for the first time since working 1N26 on 29th September. It's with 468 on 1A60/1N26, next to teh TF at the north end.

43480 (south end) and 43084 (north end) on 1A60 today.

Hello Would anyone be able to advise on any decent day trips that can be done from a base in New York, or indeed anything 'heritage' that operates on passenger services around there? I'm on holiday there from Friday 22nd to Thursday 28th October, and am intending having a day trip out...

There are two services - however they are as follows: 0605 Leeds - Newcastle via Doncaster and York. 0655 York - Newcastle (the set for this stables in York overnight). Hope this helps.

That's just brightened up my lunchtime. Please do post more bashing tales! Owing to my totally inadequate internet connection at home and lack of time at work it will be a while before I can write anything myself - but at some point I will have to post some 'experiences'. If I get chance i'll...

1S83 1800 MIA - EDB (which actually started from MAN at 1816) also went that way. A route conducter was hired from DRS.

43065 produced yesterday on 1A60, replacing 123. If the diagrams stick, 43065 + 43084 *should* do 1A60 tomorrow, and 180105*should* do 1N25. A good place to check what is allocated on GC diagrams (at least in relation to if any valenta power is to be had) is www.hstgen.co.uk :D

1V54 and 1V58 are both shown in TRUST as a HST on Saturday 7th August. On Saturday 31st July, the following two XC servives are shown in TRUST as HST: 1S47 1707 from Leeds - train destination Dundee so a change at Edinburgh required. 1S51 1807 from Leeds - direct to Glasgow Central so...

Yorkie - unless i've missed it, i'm not sure if you want to go on a Mon - Fri or a Saturday? If a Mon - Fri, back interrogation of the system shows that the 1056 EDB - GLC via Shotts has been a 156 every day (obviously Sun excepted!) this month. Also there is a 1026 EDB - GLC via Shotts which...

Yes, there are passenger stops in the trains at Carlisle. (This is also likely to be the relieving point for the drivers). Saturdays 11th, 18th and 25th September and 2nd October. Sundays 12th 19th and 26th September and 3rd October.
