Thats been going on for a while! 450's used to form the bulk of the "old timetable" Wareham-Brockenhurst services. When that was knocked on the head to introduce 2tph Weymouth services, the 450's displaced onto the merged Waterloo - Southampton and Brock - Poole (vice Wareham) services. --- old...

I reckon my box covers about 10 track miles at the most. My down main I actually only control one signal in a 4 aspect area!

Matt I think the OP meant he already hasone and wants to use it. For reference Hager, yes, most of the TOC ticket sales sites (if not all) allow the New Deal discount, but make sure you have the Railcard with you when you travel

and PRIV pass holders wonder why some revenue and commercial staff are less forgiving these days. Revenue Protection Assistants have every right to withdraw any ticket that they believe is being incorrectly (or fraudulently) used and give a receipt for such. Would YOU, as a signaller...

Hmmmmm. Although I can not excuse the attitude of the RPA, I will raise concern over the original issue. The RPA does not know you (the person presenting the boxes), however they have been presented with a Boxes Card where there is smudging and an overwriten date. Considering they do not...

I remember a driver who took a train out of service because he had stopped over a magnet and it caused a "fault". He did not know of this and failed the train after 20 minutes of running to hope thefault self-rectified, only to find when he changed ends to access a depot that the fault was gone...

Is it worth pointing out as well that in instances where trains are escorted, it will be the Civil Nuclear Constabulary who has jurisdiction in non-milatary convoys (IE Sellafield) and the MoD Police for military establishments. The officers of both are routinely armed. Personally. I...

Well I just tried Havant to MKC for middle of December and no advance fares were even mentioned! Saying that Google kept hijacking and displaying 404 Error pages

and "HELLO LEARNER"?

I say: Get the already announced London to Swansea/Bristol started first, get it building to time and thenfocus on a new plan. So many plans, not enough resources.....

Although I agree with the sentiments that on-time is better than fast-time-but-late, the complaint still arises in some areas that journies "take 3 minutes longer than 10 years ago" in some camps across the SWT network. Granted I know, SWT I feel did take the Michael a bit with its layover...

I think there is still a lot of sentiment back to the slammers which were obviously only recently withdrawn compared to the railway history of things. I think as those that remember slammers pass on to new TOCs/roles/get sacked, then that will disappear. I do get slightly sentimental myself...

Only on Sunday's when the trains only run half the service.

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOO The Psychotic Squirrel is here!! Am I allowed to say that what annoys me the most is Italian-style Fascist Dictatorships?. (PS I could not find a more appropriate post as my first!)
