In other words most modern structures built with just a bus shelter and not much else.

Isn't it? Looks like an earlier version of it or something. It's been there a while

It looks as though they have. There were Inter City style BR ones up til a year or so ago (Rail Alphabet 1 font with top and bottom red borders) but now they've all got a double arrow in red Northampton has had at least some signage put up. https://maps.app.goo.gl/dk8TBEMK9V5iWXed8?g_st=ac

Itzehoe has an underpass with a luggage conveyor belt up the stairs. It's not unpleasant in there but white tiled. Some might call it sterile but you don't go in there to look at the wall tiles, unless your name's Siddy Holloway

If nobody's mentioned them, Coventry now appears to have been changed. Not really much point in my mind as it still had its old Inter-City name boards until a year or so ago (the one with horizontal red borders top and bottom) and already used Rail Alphabet font. This is the BR I'd prefer to see...

Ah OK. Mine is Tony's Trains in Rugby. There are club members from Daventry MRC who run Thunderbolt Models not far out of Weedon. Either one if them could order one in. Another thing I'm going to go for is the Accurascale mk1 suburban as a 5 coach rake of those would be fantastic (but irrelevant...

Very fair point. I'll speak to my fellow Daventry MRC club members and see if they can order one in (They run Thunderbolt Models) Otherwise Tony's Trains definitely can.

Same (or upgraded) chassis, iirc, just like the E400 decker is basically a Trident

Nice! I haven't preordered one yet but I'll get one once they appear. They're very region specific locos so shouldn't sell out too quickly. I'll go through my local model shop as we should all support them.

I think the 25, 28 and 29 were meant for getting people out of the city centre as quick as possible, so they use the eastern side after leaving the Steine. The 24, 48 and 49 all serve London Rd shops and Lewes Rd so unless someone's heading beyond the Universities they don't really need to...

The Bluebell has a 1 in 75 up Freshfield Bank and another steep gradient towards West Hoathly so you do get to hear locos working hard even at 25.

CIGs, VEPs and CEPs. Lasted until around 2004 or 2005ish with compartments in the DTCs or the TBCK in the CEPs I absolutely hated the Connex Open plan layout on the 3COP units.

As a bus driver I've spent years in a 'If I'm driving in the next 12 hours I won't touch a drop' kind of mindset. It means I'm virtually teetotal, but not completely. I'm happy to have zero alcohol beers though. They have improved immensely in recent years. It does mean that even I do get a beer...

I was just about to mention that one.

Does this mean you're going to buy one of the Bachmann/EFE ones when they arrive? I'm looking forward to them.

That's the solution then. How did they do it back in the day, before the age of the Smart phone?

I'll have to give it a try. So many of those apps chuck ads at you 1756976136 Heh I'm glad. 1756976511 Let's not forget, especially in the case of the Kent & East Sussex and the East Kent Railways, the ex Colonel Stephens lines were built under the (then recent) Light Railways Act which always...

That's interesting. Apparently the track was canted for more than that. Their website had said it was for 70 but I can easily see the line limit being 55. The recent relaying has adjusted this. 1756824425 I'm surprised you got a signal. I found there was a definite lack of one at the Bluebell.

I was actually quite surprised how close together the stations are on the Great Central. To be fair that was the only one that sprang readily to mind. Certainly the journey would be spectacular at 45mph but the fares would have to be much higher. Also the track eould have to be re-canted. I...

Think the fact they've been building their OP4 shed as well as operating a longer line has definitely been a factor. Plus the purchase of the Ardingly route as well. 1756225448 I do think there'll be a service restructuring. More diesel trains, less Whitby trains, etc.
