    Class 158s : air con, scandalously still poor.

    Replace 158 with 166 and its the same story. I've had only one with working air con in 3 weeks of commuting :(

    people who commute _out_ of London

    I commute out of London from Hanwell/ Drayton Green to West Drayton. Fairly busy but never usually struggle for a seat. Much better than commuting inwards!

    Chiltern 67 diagrams

    Is rail travel in the North really that bad compared to the South?

    Are there many routes/ stations in the north that don't receive a Sunday service at all? Neither of my local stations (in zone 4) do.

    Why does FGW get so much bad press?

    Most complaints on my commute should actually be towards Network Rail and their complete inability to make the signals at Hayes work properly for more than a week at a time. Of course the passengers blame FGW...

    Stations that ought to be closed down.

    I'd be interested to see the figures actual figures for the Greenford Branch, I've not had my ticket checked since NSE days on that line and there are no ticket machines.

    Collecting East Coast rewards tickets

    Hi all, I booked a couple of rewards returned to be collected from the machine, but as they don't cost anything I'm not sure how to collect the tickets as no payment was taken! I have tried both of the cards that I have used for booking with EC before. Any ideas?

    Football

    Thanks. Can't see us winning the play offs though, it was yesterday or bust I think, the pic in that BBC article sums it up! The manager will have a big job picking them up.

    Football

    Gutted. One kick from promotion... Doncaster's goal was irrelevant though as we needed to win and it was that penalty or nothing. There's always next year... :cry:

    Tornado BR Blue

    Adelante/Class 180 FGW slow service

    Trains Stopping away from Platform Entrances

    That's because they are 5 coach trains, it's the same for FGW if there is a 3 car + 2 car 165/166 combo.

    Trains Stopping away from Platform Entrances

    Not having a go, just curious! Although if they could let me know before they do it so I can position myself in the right part of the train... :wink:
