Weren’t 2221xx originally Pioneers rather than Meridians.

Hmm I do know of a refurbished 3rd rail fleet that’s going to sit idle soon. Maybe the 458s will be used after all. -NB this is just speculation on my part.

In preservation yes.

I used to think that until the last time I sat in one. It was on the pretendolino from New Street to Euston. Not long after it had entered service so the cushions and covers were fairly new. My back didn’t thank me and the fixed armrests were a pain. I was much happier once I had gone to...

So Bauer Media is doing what Global did years ago. There used to be Power FM and Ocean FM in the solent area. They became Capital and Heart respectively.

You probably leaned on the horn and gesticulated at the lorry driver. Also other have already said anticipate that the lorry might pull out, perhaps slow down a little on roundabouts in general to create a gap. I would advise you to watch Ashley Neal on YouTube and learn to make it a non...
