    Morpeth Terminators

    Protocol when overshooting a station

    Once on a Swanline service made of double 153's we overshot Pyle. Driver announced that only one of the dogboxes brakes applied. I thought this was odd as we'd stopped at Bridgend no problem.

    Route validity

    Hi. I presume this has been asked before but is there a website which shows the valid routes you can taken between two stations. Eg if I had a return from Stevenage to London could I go via Welwyn and/or Hertford?

    Loop services

    Thameslink's loop trains all terminate at Sutton and have a change of headcode, despite running to and from St Albans, so are technically two different services. Is there reasoning behind this when the Cannon Street and Waterloo loop trains do not?

    What's your longest journey on a 150 ( or noisy equivalent ) in recent times?

    Class 142's to Carlisle???? Most certainly have. A Mersey rail one to boot. Had the luxury of the 37 loco hauled to Leeds and the 142 back. That's going back a while now.

    What's your longest journey on a 150 ( or noisy equivalent ) in recent times?

    On an explore Wales pass a few years ago I had double 153 Cardiff to Swansea which then formed a HoW and went all the way to Shrewsbury. Loved every minute of it.

    What's the longest train ride you've had?

    No changes: Rome to Palermo 13 hours. The train was split and shunted onto the ferry and the reattached on the other side. As I and the train stayed together on the ship I count this as no changes. With changes: Carbis Bay to Whitley Bridge. I wonder if that ticket has been sold since?
