    A trip on the 37s

    A little trip oooop north today to travel on some proper trains. Early start from New St on the 0701 Liverpool service as far as Crewe as a means to avoid too much time spent on tilting filth. Unfortunately said filth had to be had from Crewe to Lancaster to enable getting all 4 37s in 37402...

    Rolf Harris

    Quite surprised that there hasn't been a thread about this before now. Lots of debate about the sentence and his age on other forums. This is a man who showed no shame for what he had done. These were, apparently, what would now count as serious sexual assaults. He didn't plead guilty; he...

    Sex on a train. Was I harsh

    I am not going to go into details about when where or stuff but recently I was on a train and on walking through it was pretty obvious that there were two people in one of the toilets and that they were getting, ahem, intimate. At first I thought jammy bugger but then my innate sense of spoiling...

    Who is starting work earliest on NY Day

    Probably aimed more at Railway Staff but there may be others on here working on the 1st too. So who has the earliest start on New Years Day. I will start it off with a beatable 06.42 start. The worst thing is though I am standby until the 0955 to Nuneaton so I could just be sitting around for 3...

    R.I.P Christopher Hitchens

    Razor sharp intellect, and a very eloquent and fearless critic of religious fanaticism, and stupidity in general. Not sure R.I.P is entirely appropriate though !!

    Stupid Question (Maybe)

    I know this might sound a bit dumb but will ask anyway. I was wondering if there are any models of trains available that are just models and not for running on a layout. In other words do you have to buy fully operational models or is there anybody producing models without the expense of the...

    OAG Rail Guide

    Does anyone know if these are still published. I believe they produced a monthly version and included fares and timetables in a handy sized book. You used to be able to get them from WH Smiths in some London Termini
