These units were outside the TOPS classification, no?

Absolutely, but not so convenient with baggage.

A relative used to take lamps from carriages on late night services.

I have to add Newcastle to Sunderland as being a high contender on the list.

I'm sure I remember hearing of a tube driver who used to regularly commute from Newcastle. Whether this was daily or not, I do not know!

I'm having graphics problems with a route I'm making. How do I get around the problem where the fence is just disappearing: http://postimg.org/image/6t03bfwsh/ Thanks

Unfortunately many in the UK choose to sue as a result of incidents that were merely accidents in the past. The same peoeple then complain about 'red-tape' or 'health and safety gone mad'. We can't have it both ways!

I can add to this by thoroughly commending to you the Premier Inn at 4 Duke Street, Norwich. The rooms are fairly new and meet a high standard.

I have been on a train where the gaurd has dispatched from the leading drivers door before re-joining him in the cab. This was during the dark days of Connex.

I hear you Roverman, however I challenge anybody to realistically drive the competing journey within the same time boundaries, within legal speed limits and arrange suitable parking within reasonable distance of the finishing station for the same price. From experience, driving to...

That is because we live in a world marred with selfishness and pride. This attitude is especially prevalent among those who commute to London. I am absolutely flabbergasted by the attitude of the commuting majority, who appear to be under the belief that season ticket prices should be...

May I cheekily add the Daily Mail app? :lol:

I have to say that Thomas Prosser's portico on the north elevation of Dobson's Newcastle Central station cannot escape this thread. It is a pity that a 'British Rail grey' colour surrounds the station clock. It somewhat spoils the beautiful ashlar exterior, which itself matches the town...
