    Makes more sense thankyou. Was I wrong in thinking you can't book in advance with PRIV? Or half I got that half correct?

    priv discount to be allowed on off peak tickets

    I'm not to the railway so still don't understand a lot of this.. So on any other TOC than my own I get 75% off ONLY on standard tickets, not advance or off peak. So most of the time it's cheaper to get an advance ticket? Say I want to go to Scotland from Euston on holiday in 2 months...

    Track noise

    Great explanation but i'm also sure i've heard it on OLE area's. I've rarely left an OLE area and been near third rail.

    Track noise

    I know the noise you mean. Always reminds me of the wires at the T rex paddock in Jurassic Park when they are cut.. ping like noise.

    Class 08

    You at Ilford or Crown Point badassunicorn? I would guess the novelty of an 08 trundling along wears off quickly. I also have a soft spot for them since I was a child.. :)

    A career as a train driver

    People will always moan. I've found some drivers moan but they know they have a really good job and it would be extremely hard to find another job with benefits and such good pay where you just turn up and do the job..

    Paint markings on track

    Sleepers are often painted in depots to show where to stop and avoid fouling other lines too.

    Four methods of stopping a train

    Strange, I stand corrected! Where did I get this from then? I'm sure in my current training I was told it's now vigorously. Maybe that was just the PTS course.

    "£2.2bn investment in East Anglia railways"

    Will be interesting to see the changes at Colchester. I believe I saw some of the proposal diagrams today. The depot/yard is getting an overhaul too!

    Greater Anglia/DRS 47s Norwich

    Well once my other half gets her travel pass from ATOC I hope to go places I could never be bothered to via train ;) Like Great Yarmouth.. She loves 37's so seems like a rare opportunity to see them in action.
