Aye. I like the announcers making jokes from time to time but if they're scripted they're going to be terrible. There's nothing worse than "scripted spontanuity". These are commuters, they're going to be on the train every single day; hearing the same joke over and over again is going to get...

It's not in the railway accident archive nor is it in snopes.com. Horrible Histories, while decent books, have a major habit of making crap up. If something like this had really happened, and that recently, it wouldn't be "a station".

I'd love to get a train to Matlock, as it's somewhere I used to go a bit as a kid. I think that would be from Derby. I rather like EMT 153s so long as they're not standing room only.

Yes, 1822. That's good to hear. I was in the sideways seats with my back against the driver's wall/door, so felt everything. Done my back in too. Won't sit like that again! Between that and someone setting stink bombs off on an already typically smelly pendy, pretty bad day.

The guy played for Wimbledon!

Hi, I was just on the 18:22 Birmingham to Stanstead XC service. Around Narborough, the driver blew his horn as we hit something quite hard. We stopped shortly after (although I was surprised how long it took to stop - a good minute or two; we were clearly decelerating. Just goes to show how...

This is going to be quite boring; in my defence I've done some lines on many different services. Also interestingly I've done Leicester to Derby, but never Birmingham to Derby intentionally, only when the Brum-Leics trains were diverted that way to reverse on Sundays. Similarly I've only done...

I'm a bit peeved that the BBC's "what can happen" article only covers the premier league, unless I'm missing something. Just saw that Notts County have missed out on goal difference. I was going to try and go to a Nottingham derby too. :( Premier league predictions:

Managed Copenhagen for five top-flight winning seasons, not sure how difficult that is. All I can hear when people say his name is "It's Dale Southbank".

I am glad Wigan have stayed up. Their performance this season has been spectacular and great to watch, for a team I'd largely ignored as a relegation regular up until now. Obviously gutted for Villa but it's highly unlikely they'll go down now, Bolton would have to win 17 nil, so practically...

If they're stopping four stops before, they're early for the stops four stops before. If they went, they'd have left the stops early... It's far annoying to miss a bus because it's left early, than to miss a connection that isn't even timetabled then. If you're running late, with all respect...

You're right, my bad. I just went round and found the points, but they don't lead where I thought, it's just a tiny branch down to the docks. There are different models of train though.

I'd vote for him. Not really a fair statement, for if it was any less it would be a minority government, which have existed...

This is how we end up with political parties aimed at one single international change, voted into seats on local councils. -.- What's next, new research reveals a 1996 EU plot to abolish Princess Diana?

But but but what will replace the music in the skyrail ;-;

529 Wolverhampton to Walsall since 1975 (1965 as "29") I think the oldest is the 11, Birmingham outer circle, since 1926?

I used to hold my pass out until I dropped it under a bus one time. :lol: But I'm the only one who holds their hand out here. If you're at the kerb, they stop, if not they don't.

Thank you. That's quite disappointing, but, better to know beforehand as it's only a minor detail of the game.

San Andreas. I bought Steam's GTA pack, which had GTA4 and every game before it (except the two Londons) but 4 won't play and to be honest, I prefer San Andreas. I don't actually PLAY it, I just drive around. Reckon I've got the world pretty well mapped out in my head... Also there's more than...
