Yes there used to be a second station in Northallerton, by Low Gates Level Crossing, the building that currently houses Court Homemakers is the old low level station on the Leeds & Stockton. Charlie Browns/Motorpoint/whatever it used to be called was in the goods shed. Where the car park is...

3 cars have been on used on the Cambridges vice 2 cars on some services since the temp footbridge was built at Kennet, and no it isnt long enough!!

From that Top Gear episode, doesnt Tornado have tender filler points at solebar level?

Witham is Wit-am

The Tyne & Wear Metro announce Prudhoe as prude hoe!! Wymondham had me stumped when our trainer said we were going to Wyndham and I couldn't find it on the map until we got there and I saw the spelling!! Isn't Slaithwaite pronounced Sla-wit?

The TOCs might want to insert more padding but it's NR who do the pathing... and if they say that adding x amount of padding will reduce the capacity of said line they they probably won't allow it

ONE was also an NX company... as was MML, Central Trains etc. Don't hear so many complaints about those TOCs? (I know they no longer exist)

If you have a ticket to a destination and through no fault of your own you miss the last connection then I think they have to get you there by any reasonable means, as the ticket is a contract between the bearer (ie yourself) and the TOC(s) involved to get you from the origin to the destination...

Unless they are 'Run through points' as found in many sidings, whereby the force of the train moves them across if set in the other direction when coming from a set of sidings. As a footnote, the points round TATA Scunthorpe are powered and they are changed using a plunger when heading towards...

I have a container of Yorkshire Tea in my kit bag!! Though Coffee Link at the London end of P2 at Ipswich does a good brew

I took a photo of a pair of 37s departing the other day in full uniform with my ticket machine round my neck as I had just stepped off my train at the turn round!!!

I think it can help having a background interest in the railways, I mentioned it at interviews and at my most recent (and succesful) one, one of the guys interviewing was also a modeller so there was a link if you like between us.

ALL trains leaving Liverpool St are dispatched on the RA, including the 90s and Mk3s, though the Guard does tell platform staff when to give the RA.

think there are some kids running back and forth over the lines hence the caution... obviously the fatality the other day hasn't sunk in yet...

they gonna replace the 'box too?! most of the delays seem to be caused by them lol

The wife uses one and they are a damned sight cheaper than real fags!! The ones she has use liquid of different flavours and also different nicotine strengths, with a zero nicotine also available if you just want the sensation of putting it in your mouth

bloody hell, 5 months after I move south and they still havent finished it!!

Have they not finished the underpass at Seaham yet? I moved from there in July and it didnt look too far away from being done...

Just think if they had kept St Enochs instead of Central... they could probably have done away with Queen St as well and had all services from one station. Would have meant the loss of Cowlairs but then I suppose that won't have bothered them too much!!

I did that trip four years ago and found them to be quite comfy, with deep seat bolsters and highish backs. Mind, I did spend all my time looking out of the windows so didn't pay too much attention to the interior, but I don't have any bad recollections!! I do remember the PIS got confused once...
