Coming into and out of Glasgow Central yesterday, I saw them again and since I always wondered why the sides of the rails on the bridge over the Clyde are painted white, I though it an appropriate question to ask here. Is it so they can be seen, since there are so many of them, but then I do...

That pees me off too, I always have an idea of where my coach will be, so stand there, then the latecomers barge up and as described, barely wait for the passengers getting off to do so before launching themselves at the open door, ignoring everyone already waiting, what do they think we're...

My stepdaughter was on the 13:30 Edinburgh - Kings Cross yesterday. She texted her mother to ask what to do because the train was terminating at Doncaster, I told her to tell her that there's nothing we can do about it, we're a couple of hundred miles away from her, listen to the announcements...

To avoid it, I watched Back To The Future for the 374th time, then Total Recall (Schwarzenegger version) for the 300th time. Both infinitely better and more educational

And when they sell you the most expensive 1st class walk up fare without even trying to find cheaper fares (as we were able to do within 5 minutes), they wouldn't then have to compensate as a 'good will' gesture over £500

Newcastle United are home that day at 3pm, so there will most likely be a few dry services. I will be keeping my powder dry until about 12:30pm, that leaves just enough time to get enough alcohol into me so that I don't have to watch the match through the gaps between my fingers.

That could be ideal if the propsal to extend the Borders Railway to Hawick (and eventually beyond) comes to fruition

Joe Dirt 2, Beautiful Loser ****e, not a patch on the original, stupid contrived plot, no story being told, no laughs. Life's a garden, dig it (that's from the original btw) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Over generous with the roman numerals :wink:, VIII isn't out till...

and for us that wre around and listening to metal in the 80's, have some Napalm Death added to that list!!

I get the pleasure at least once, sometimes twice a year when the diversions between Edinburgh and Newcastle are on, as you said, fantastic scenery, but it's a damned slow journey

This link will let you know what's on the first class menu. https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/the-east-coast-experience/first-class/complimentary-food-and-drink/ I've done a few journeys Edinburgh to London and back recently and you'll only get fed the once. There'll be a few visits from...

Hopefully those imbeciles won't have access to the drinks cabinet at Aykley Heads (or wherever they decide to relocate County Hall to) for much longer. Hopefully the disgraceful shenanigans over the closure of the DLI museum will see that those people are removed from council as soon as is...

Several vouchers to the value of £25 each --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I think I'll take them to my hometown station and use them there when I come to book our trains for our summer holiday in July. With the 5 of us that are goin and where we are going, it'll probably use them...

His music in the 70's was great (Crocodile Rock, Saturday Night, Rocketman etc) but he took a turn in the 80's to ballads and mushy **** that turned me right off his music

VTEC and £500+

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, my search didn't turn anything g up. I received some vouchers today and having seen that I can use them in part or full payment for train tickets at travel centres. Would I be able to use them for online bookings? Thanks in advance for any info.

Good news, I've been given rail vouchers to the value of £572. I know its standard practice to reimburse via vouchers, but I'd have much preferred a money refund to pay the credit card bill that I accrued with this transaction and I know I will be booking more train travel in the future but I...

If everyone had to have personal subscription to the channels, you presumably mean people would only be able to watchelp games at home, there'd be no transport problems. Also, if the games were to be played on islands in the north and Irish seas with no supporters, there'd be no transport...

If she does it for you and won't take cash, buy her flowers and chocolates, just don't forget about it if she won't take cash

As a Newcastle United season ticket holder, I'd hate nothing more if the stadium was moved. That the stadium is already in the city centre with access to buses, the Metro system and a short walk to Central station, its perfectly placed. Why should we be moved at the behest of people who have...
