I got on at Swindon just after 6am.., and was considering abandoning the last leg. Then I heard a rumour that 002 was poorly, they were going to send the spare set and stop the train at Taunton. I couldn't resist FOUR power cars. I ended up in Plymouth! Yesterday was a big party in Plymouth...

Whilst I am here, are there any early Sunday Short Set Plymouth deps. to Brizzle? Just wondering if I should hang about and get a breakfast/wash/whatever there instead of catching the 08:37 East.

Same as the other week. No matter. No surprise. Twil be a good day out!

Been promised 43002 and a green power car tomorrow. My guess is 198. Who is on the Bananer tomorrow? I could do the full shift, I could get a late one to Brizzle, frizzle there... I prefer me own bed tonight. I will be on it as and when.

High density? Low density? Dunno why I ask. I haven't got a table seat! BTW, how many people will fit onto the train? And, have the timings been confirmed?

I did Scotland when it was me 50 th Birthday. I got the first train (05:40) ish out of Euston one Friday morning. Got to Glasgow about 10. found my way to Queen Street and hopped on a unit to Rannoch. Had a good ol jolly up with a couple of peeps Friday and Saturday nights. Some local things...

I was on platform 4. This just went out before my train. Let's see if this works. I am not a pooter bod. Sticking vids up will be tricky. Don't know. I do know that I have just spent $75 to reinvent my photobucket account, just so I can stick the odd vid/pic up. PB has changed since I last...

Don't know how many I got hauled by. Some from Gloucester- Derby, Brum, Bristol etc. Some from Yarmouth to London/Norwich. Some from Victoria to Leeds. Edinburgh to Glasgow and back. LDS was one of them. Never really was worried about haulage, or, cabbing either. I did cab just about every loco...

I just landed from HST land last week. Spotted a 57 that used to be a 47 when I was a lad. I swa it and just thought.....

Smile! I believe that they are now called Duffs. Everybody hates them. Like I said earlier, I used to spot some of them when they was D1100 and up! I liked the Stratford Silver Roof ones. Been on a few of the from Yarmouth to Liverpool Street in the past.

Off to Gloucester we did go. EE Ii Ee I E I O! Worked right by Cheltenham Race Course a bit back. I might have to blag another work job there! 373 had the orange whirly light. 306 and 376 are still about? Smile! Many thanks. I will keep me eyes open!

47304 cut up at Springs Branch? I knew that I had seen one of the missing four. That is where I saw it! Many thanks! Been to Wigan loads of times. I was there earlier this month. Going past Springs Branch on the train from Bryn.

I got as far as 47702 Lady Diana Spencer I think that that was her number. Spotted at Waverley when they did the PP's to Glasgow. Years earlier, I spotted some 26/27's doing the same trips. I never worked out which loco Lady Di used to be. I lost interest soon after. Been riding on trains...

Hello. I used to be a spotter a long time ago. When we still had D and E numbering. I spotted most of the class 47 Brush 4's except for three of 47304/306/373/376. As far as I remember, they were Tinsley/Immingham ones. I only ask as I was on the last HST runs last Saturday and saw 57306 (?) at...

I will also add that I could have booked tickets for single/return journeys along the same lines on the same days for about £173. Never been to Hereford, Carmarthen or Plymouth on HST's. To do all three in one day (better) be amazing! I am still considering trolleying down to Brizzle on Friday...

That's good! Cheers Causton! I will take the whole page with me.

Hello! I was on the 18:30 from Padd on Saturday. I got off at Swindon. I was also on the earlier Swansea - Padd. I am due to be on the Banana next Saturday. All the way from Swindon to wherever I decide to get off. I only have a stupid little square blocky type ticket printed off. Will this...
