Good Morning. A few from this week if at all possible please. 16/09 - 16.05 passing Carnforth - Carlisle to Chirk Logs. 16/09 - 16.50. The 68 stabled behind 68014 - Kingmoor south end. 17/09 - 09.40 passing Whifflet Coatbridge - Daventry (DRS Malcolms) 18/09 - 09.40 passing Whifflet...

My personal preference would be to walk "come rain - come shine", but for me, with Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis it rather depends on how the "pins" are holding up on the day:twisted:!!!!!! ......If you're fit to walk - then perhaps you should.....use it or loose it as they say......but as...

:D Of course- you're right....been there suffered that over YEARS!!! No easy solution other that to abandon the reservation system (or shoot the numpties)......then even MORE chaos:D??? Don't seem to have this issue on SWT though...and Waterloo to Exeter isn't a short journey - but I guess...

Enjoy Mate....I wish I was going!!!!!:D

Hi Fishquinn.....I hope you have a fantastic time in Canada ....B.C. is a superb place for scenery and Vancouver is a really laid-back friendly city - (be a a bit cautious if you go down the side roads near Gastown though). Stanley Park (I think that's the name) quite quirky if you like totem...

Ah - thank you for that.....the Granite City is going to be off my radar - but at least there's a chance that the "wee beastie" will be working somewhere and not gathering rust and mould in some totally inaccessible place:D!!!!

As virtually everyone has said this topic is very personal and subjective. I have not "commuted" as such for a long time as I work on various contracts as ever and wherever. BUT in the past I used to find very regular car runs into both Maidenhead and London and absolute pain from Overton...

Yeah I can do that as "time's my own - within reason"....but I really was wondering if the swine was specifically scheduled.....or locked away in Polmadie / Millerhill wherever:D.... Haven't been north of the border for almost 2 years so utterly out of touch - apart from what I can glean from...

Good Morning. I guess this is a long shot, but I've been after the above loco for ever......I understand it spends a lot of it's time in Scotland - which is where I'm off to for a few days tomorrow and don't get to visit often enough:(! Does anyone know where / what it's scheduled to work...

Thanks for all your a advice guys - and I totally agree with Kite....if only there was some way of turning off that electronic reserved sign.....Not really practical though unfortunately....imagine the chaos if some numpty was let loose on that!!!:D

That's even better then!!!!! Thank You:D

Thank you so much folks.....I hate upsetting anyone (unless they deserve it!) and I though it would probably be OK. I've got bags of time to get to Euston so will do as suggested, get there early, head for the unreserved bit and bag a nice seat with a view and hope for the best!!!! Much appreciated.

Good Morning All. I'm booked on the 13.30 train for the above trip with an Advance Single ticket. The problem I've got (assuming this service to be a Pendolino) is that I've ended up with a hideous seat (if I'm reading the Virgin "train plan correctly") i.e. Coach D Seat 33....which looks...

For me, the prime requisites (especially for any distance) are:- 1) A well-padded comfortable seat 2) Seats that line up with windows (at least partially!!) 3) Have working toilets that cannot be smelt from neighbouring counties 4) Have decent a/c or heating that can be adjusted by the...

Thanks Hadders - certainly a good shout with the plane - but I've been annoyed / delayed with security hold-ups etc through Gatters on too many occasions in the last couple of years- including this route - so don't like that option (but not as much as disliking the bus (oops sorry coach!)...

Thanks Romilly - very much appreciated. Advances seem the way to go on this -I can't seem to get anything cheaper via Banbury / Wolves or any splits that I know. Pay up time I think. Cheaper by Coach but 11ish hours with a change......either Oxford or London Vic..........EEEEEK! No Way...

Good Morning All. I would be very grateful for some advice for a trip I'll be making this September. I wish to leave Overton Mon, 08/09 am and travel to Glasgow - returning from Glasgow 12/09 - arriving back in Overton as late as you like!!!! The best return rate (via Waterloo /...

Took 350/1s from Northampton to Liverpool (with a quick change at Brum) earlier this year with my son. He's over 6' and lanky - I'm vertically challenged and horizontally comfortable. We both found the ride perfectly comfortable - even though the trains were pretty busy. Either leg of the...

Signed. All the best to those potentially effected...(including staff / passengers etc. etc.)

Yes, you are quite correct there is a physical "thing:D" there that's broom cupboard-like and the chappie does indeed cover the morning rush as you say....so we're not unique here after all then!!!! Good to give the punter every chance to purchase before travel I say!:wink:
