Good luck with the book

Oh , come on . He is a lovely chap and doing well for himself.

One episode has poirot arriving on a train into a station and if you look across to the right you will see a class 142 sitting in a platform. Unfortunately i cannot remember which episode it was , made me chuckle though.

I was on that bus yesterday. We were going along nicely when all of a sudden their was a pop sort of noise and the bus started to slow down. Luckily the layby was near so the driver pulled in there. We all got off and were stood outside when the next X38 pulled up behind. This was a Trent Barton...

You have to make your way to coach E and a steward will take your payment. The set should be on platform 5.

Was on the 11.55 from Stoke to Prestbury, very impressed with the acceleration and speed it maintained. Windows were open so I enjoyed the sound effects from passing trains. Had 228 on the way back and had time for a couple of pints of plum porter in the bod bar . Lovely drink.

I stopped off at Barnetby whilst doing my rovering and did see the Pub. It was closed while I was there but I did have a look through a window but the only beer I could see was Doombar . Always give that one a wide berth. LOL

I hope you keep up the daily log, I was going to do similar but due to the Drivers actions I changed the menu. I am now going to do Regional Rovers instead. I have just completed the east Midlands seven day rover and it went okay. Two cancellations and a few late trains but not to disruptive...

nothing wrong with Wetherspoons matey

I admire your dedication to your hobby.

That's the good thing. On disruptive days you can book alternative transport and then return to the trains when things are normal.

Having just arrived off the sleeper. I went in that cafe outside Penzance station back in the early 80s and to this day it was one of the best Breakfasts I have ever enjoyed It was run by two ladies who made you feel very welcome and it was a lovely clean place.

Nice Micro bar in Duffield five minutes walk away, depending what day you travel

I always thought drivers would have free travel on any TOC, well you live and learn.

Well Done Cross Country, do you think more will follow ?

That is so true. Despite all the disruption people have just carried doing what they normally do in there social lives 1682626601 back in the sixties man United had 10,000 "cockney reds " following them. That makes this joke over 50 years old now.

Out of interest, why are you Knackered for getting to Wembley. if you intended going you will get their no matter what. Will not make the slightest difference to a lot of fans, we will be there. coach companies and Salford van hire will have some great business

Cheltenham festival attendance was certainly affected by the strike action

Only ever been on a 180 the one time when they were with GWR. Always remember thinking how comfortable they were, also, I was impressed with the acceleration. It was a long time ago though

I do not think it will affect Cheltenham a great deal. Its a big occasion in the racing world and people will make it any which way they can. They provided 16 extra trains per day last year, which against the xmas period is quite low and as you say it didn't do the trick then.
