Clapham Junction would be a big one - One train is delayed and it screws up all the other trains trying to fit into the platforms like a funnel! On a much smaller note, Frome needs the track doubling so that trains didn't get constantly delayed when waiting for the other to exit the platform, as...

Salisbury seems to be fairly empty yet it has a large number of platforms! Also Chippenham with its extra platform without a track (For some reason on the most accessible side) - Surely when removing a track the third island platform would have made more sense so that step-free access from...

What's the weirdest thing that's happened during any journey you've been on a bus? Mine is probably the time the X34 had a complete electrical failure where the key was removed from the ignition and the bus (Solo) stayed on! That and the windscreen wipers, full beams were stuck on and the...

The only solo I have been on that I liked was YJ06 YSG as it has a much nicer interior and the engine seemed to have more life in it.

I do wish Faresaver would extend the 17:30 X34 from Chippenham all the way to Frome instead of finishing in Trowbridge, it makes commuting quite a lot more annoying than it needs be.

The 150/2s seem to be getting to that halfway point where you see an equal amount of GWR and FGW units, although the 158s still seem to be in the early stages. Not ridden a refurbed one yet and noticed 158798 in its ad livery looking a bit worse for wear...

They definately seem more destined to become scrap than the other sprinters, namely because of the bodyshell being so similar to the pacer and that they are awful for capacity in these days of demand (Even the Westbury - Swindon line appears to be overcrowding on that one carriage - not to...

I thought tomorrow the Scotsman is coming to Bath Spa? I cannot find the train times which I need as both me and my Grandmother would like to see it.

Hello everyone! Only just realised there was a forum about the railways (I have no idea why I never looked before) and I decided to join it! I have liked railways and trains since I was little, because they give me happy memories of going on trains to go for a family day out, etc. I started up...
