Greenline 727 was the first in about 1968, early publicity included pictures of airplanes and an invocation to fly to ?Barbados? by 727 change at Heathrow

I may have been confused in an earlier post, sorry Twin rovers were Red Bus & Tube one day rovers (North of Rickmansworth was excluded) I do not recall Peter's weekender, I thought that they launched as a two day all services rover, including Green Line, I certainly did use it on coaches many...

Can anyone identify two novels I read once both were set on British Rail and thrillerish. 1) Leads up to a crash between a passenger and a goods train somewhere on the Eastern Region, I think the freight partially derailed and swiped the passenger train. Freight driver was called Denning and...

I would be interested to know where you got your ticket, Bromley tube station was a non starter. If it came from the garage was it the same card season ticket format? You or the Inspector missed a trick, Greenline 727 was running, that would take you to Reigate and 711 or enjoy more of 727's...

[ Green Rovers had more restrictions than I remembered. Tonbridge (not Tunbridge Wells), parts of Crawley and Forest Row were all excluded as were works services. Green Rovers were bought on the vehicle, it was advisable to have a leaflet with you as some conductors would insist that the 9:30...

Barclays offered the same service in a few selected branches, but when I needed it they had concentrated the service into flagship city center branches surrounded by yellow lines, there were still a few smaller branches on suburban and small town parades, were Barclays so dumb that they could...

My initial point, Uxbridge has a bus station adjacent, traffic in general and bus would be low on blockade days so it should be easy to bring the substitutes straight in to the bus station

Convenience for the buses tops journey quality, this must be the 21st century. The Met would be my diversion of choice, most of North West London is easy plus Euston, KingsX St P. and Thameslink. Slow service to Waterloo then get back north of the river, not an ideal offering, Great that GWR...

Why did the Slough > Metropolitan not use Uxbridge? HIllingdon's simple platforms and short dwell times could be overpowering to luggage carting strangers

London Transport Country, the outer green area had quite a few hospitals Sorry for spellings and bus errors - this is from memory 50 years ago Mid late 60s Harpurbury had a dedicated visitors service (rte 345) Wednesdays & Sundays from Bushey and Watford Harpurbury and nearby Napsbury had...

Thanks to all who replied so far, I don't want to give full details, I in my old fashioned way I think that management may monitor this forum and I do not want to try and intimidate them, despite that I am squeezed by ACPOA and clocks on one side and the oh so slowly GWR then all you get is...

A silly parking incident at a GWR station is causing me a lot of stress. I am pretty sure that GWR were the cause / permited the madness at the station, I ended up with a parking ticket from ACPOA and I feel justified in my actions and will fight it to the death. Neither of them want to address...

Is this a Mornington Crescent variation? If yes then Denham

I recall that the first DMU up to Barnstaple would draw a box van, perhaps news and parcels, Barnstaple was listed as a Red Star station, the van would be shunted by the DMU into the siding platform and spend the day there, then dragged back at about 19-00, roughly 1986 > 1991

Thanks for knowing the right gen - if there is a hope of customer service despite the rules then you have "flown the kite"
