Like this a lot! :lol:

They certainly look well engineered. Some seem to be nothing more than a hefty lump of wood painted red. Interesting to know what decides which type of buffer - presumably some regional variation - but anything else?

I like the idea of limiting announcements - except last minute changes or anything urgent. All airports seem to be that way now - what is different between checking a monitor for a platform vs a departure gate?

Blimey. That's a hell of a lot to remember - how on earth do they get the route knowledge?

Possible very stupid question.... Given that the pictured train in the post is a freight - presumably with a mass of an awful lot - could it not just be driven very very slowly to push the tree (which appears relatively small) out of the way? I have seen a tractor (with presumably much less...

Because I am infantile at the age of 56 it will always be PENIS-tone

Please enlighten me (English person)

To be fair I'd be pretty p*ss*d off if I paid for a rail journey and got a replacement bus - no catering/no bikes/no loo/even worse leg room etc etc - as the equivalent bus journey is usually cheaper. 1636319817 What? I always thought it was apple juice :lol:

I grew up there. Never ever heard Brido. It was Brid.

I work in Emergency Medicine (A&E as was) and you do get to see some gruesome sights. I once had to confirm death in an unfortunate person who jumped from a multi-storey car park - the law said the person confirming had to be a doctor but anyone could have done so in reality (it was very...

Sounds worrying ... It's a long way down!

A few years ago I was walking near the S&C line when a logs train went past. You could smell the pine! As for the Marmite - yuk!

I’m supposed to be travelling on the ECML to London from Yorkshire this afternoon. Listening to the wind I’m thinking it won’t be much good for the OLE. What’s the betting things turn out badly due to the wind?

But why 4ft 8.5in? Why not 4ft 8in or 4ft 9in?

Those photos bring back memories. I grew up in Brid - our house backed onto the line to Scarborough - and remember many DMUs but only a handful of trains hauled by a loco. Having said that it is 40+ years ago! Classes 101, 104, 105, 108 and 110 were very familiar with the 104 and 110 being my...

The only difference seems to be a dessert. The Azuma "Rest of the Day" menu gets a chocolate and caramel pot. The other trains get a piece of cake. There is something about eating breakfast or evening meal later on the Azuma and the chance to buy champagne. Hardly the radical shake up that was...

I can see some objections to this sort of behaviour. Clear elf and safety issues. Someone had to!!!

Anyone know (just idle curiosity) if the reported vehicle on the track is vandalism or an unfortunate "accident". Quotations as a traffic officer once told me there's no such thing as an accident!
