As with most things put arriva in charge and thats it... Virgin made a mess of the franchise now Arriva is making a bigger mess, when will crosscountry travel be good again. I really used to like Arriva but having read all this, i'm starting to get bad feeling about it all.

Intersting trip you had there. Pitty about probs on the metro you must have got it on a bad day i never have probs with it, mind i don't really use it much. Did you think that the metro cars do need replaced very quickly. Manchester, have already got replacements planned and their trams are...

Harwich was my original idea but i like Clacton, why is it a bad place? Its great i'm going next week. I say one more thing on the whole Clacton and Essex idea, you may draw your own conclusions. Essex lasses. There are paths on the NLL as long as its tucked nicely up behind a stopper...

Love the way it said signal failed more like the driver SPAD.

I wasn't being too serious about the whole thing, though i might send an application to the DFT just to see what (if any) reply i get. I just got bored the other day at work and it came into my mind. I've also worked out some more service times for it. 1307 Birmingham 1336 Rugby 1415...

I was think the other day why all new company seem to start finish the journey's in London, like GC, W&S. So i thought why have a company called Coastal connect running trains from the Midlands to the coast to somewhere like Clacton on the Sea. They would run from Birmingham - Rugby - Watford -...

A perfect for me would travelling on a XC HST from Newcastle (often the 0744) to Birmingham. Spending a few hours there both looking around New St, never know what you might find sitting in one of the platforms there. Also its better now as the staff seem to just let you get on with taking...

In order to get the Express service, make sure you catch an Amersham service not Uxbridge they stop all stations. Not sure what the Watford stop plan is but Amersham is express Baker Street - Harrow on the hill.

Yeah i to like the unit diagrams and operations side of tings. Never been on that branch i'll have to have a look. Are the remains still there?

hi all, I was just sitting think of all the differant parts of the railway and how many differant things people can be interested in to do with the railway. Everything from train spotting, taking photo's, model railways, real ale tours, tube zone challenages. Or even something as simple as...

In my opinion bad eye sight should not count you out of any role except driver. However if you have to tell the company this on the application form they will probably not proceed with your application. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but there is a lot of people looking for jobs on the...

For old stock take the MET line up to Amersham if your coming in from catch that at Euston Square NOT Euston, Euston Square is 500 yards outside the station, just cross Euston Road and you'll find it. On your way back you could also do the Chesham branch. When you've done that head for Baker...

Just to confirm, XC run the train with its own staff. NXEC let them borrow the train. On the friday it runs the last Kings X - Leeds, then goes empty to Manchester to do the Newquey. After Sunday it goes back to Leeds then onto either the Leeds - Aberdeen or a Leeds- Kings X on the monday

Well if i couldn't get parked outside my house i would not be happy, because of the "Swansea Metro" which is a bus isn't it?

bvestation.co.uk, for MTA New York City transit routes.

Ah well, when it comes to rail company's, they come, they go. I really don't see what all the fuss is about whoever runs the East Coast route its just going to be the same trains just a differant colour. Nobody will lose there jobs (hopefully), some people may choose to leave but thats up to...

I'm not sure which part is classed as Lexington Ave, i think he means on the 4,5,6 trains. Not sure which ones the express though. You can also take the A Express (the Far Rockerway or Leffeards Blvd service) from 125st Manhatten to 59th St Columbus circle and go non stop through stations like...

Eee someone other than me likes voyagers.

Ok some people have said why they like Northern, i will now pick them to pieces as what some have done with me like XC. The whole "what units did XC use from Plymouth to Exeter (in one case Bristol). This is not unique to AXC and happened a lot in VXC days. Yes AXC have brought in HST's...

I loved the part where Clarkson throws the bacan sandwhich out the engine. No doubt some network rail nut will be complaining about littering though. It was entertaining. Carn't believe how people have shouted about how it works brill and yet on the Top Gear experiment it wasn't. Prob with...
