As a football fan who enjoys travelling to away games, I have had to gamble on booking cheap train tickets for fixtures that could still be moved at the time of booking. I have won some and lost some. It is very frustrating. It seems mad to suggest that the responsibility should be put on the...

I always thought the 455s stayed surprisingly cool in summer. The hopper windows are quite good at moving air through.

Remember seeing EPBs stuffed with bikes coming back from Brighton back in the late 70s early 80s.

London Midland 350s at East Croydon around 9 or 10 years ago.

Just been travelling on a Southern train heading for London Bridge. The OBS kept referrng to the destination as London Bridge Central. Does this mean the Kent/Thameslink side will be called something else?

This is spot on. For the record, I am a "UK resident" and use GatEx everyday.

I would say that is pretty unusual. Often see 377/3s formed with 4 car 377s. I have never seen a 377/6 with anything other than another 377/6, I don't think.

Selhurst station here, with Palace's former ground, the nest, opposite. Now the site of Selhurst Depot.

Just checked and you're right. I was forced straight onto a bus by the police at Stoke station on my last visit. Route is aboute three miles by bus.

Stoke's ground, Britannia/Bet Fair, has to be work a shout for furthest. 4 miles from any station.

Coulsdon South and Coulsdon Town (spits) are now almost always pronounced Cools don but must of the local elders always pronounced it as Coals don.

My first thought was also Mk2 AC.

Anyone have any idea what punishment he might get if he is caught?

I remember when new the HSTs were so gentle pulling away you wouldn't know unless you were looking out the window.

Sorry, yes, it was sarcasm. Just a little dig and all the desparate ideas that have been thrown around for prolonging the 442's life.

Pantograph bay installed.

Yes that's right. No football fan can control themselves if they have had a drink. Despite the fact that the owner of these carriages and the engine on the front is a football fan. Perhaps he would smash his own train up after a glass of Merlot. BTP saw fit to post two officers on the train for...

It was £200 plus match ticket. Jeremy Hosking paid the additional £100 per person cost. Really good of him. He has been planning this for three years and was only able to do this game due to the fact that kick off date and time could not be changed by the TV companies. (last game of the season)
