Hello,
Currently looking to purchase a new camera, looking to spend around a couple of hundred pounds. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or suggestions for a Compact camera or Bridge camera, that results in good quality photos of moving trains, please?
Cheers.
Certainly seemed to be a mixture of vehicles at Truro College on Monday and Tuesday afternoon when I did a couple of routes from there while on holiday. Mostly Olympians, couple of coaches (not sure which route they were on), Solo on the service to Flushing. Someone mentioned the Fal River...
I read somewhere that the 57 (Exeter-Exmouth) was due an upgrade this year, Gold possibly for 15251-15260?
Presume the Optare Solos for Exeter are to replace the older examples on the E/F etc. Hard to believe the 04reg Solos are actually 11 years old!
I recieved a Penalty Fare earlier today on a South West Trains service. I effectively didn't have a valid ticket for the section of route I was travelling. I am fully aware that the Penalty Fare was correctly issued to me as I accept I was in the wrong, and therefore I will not be appealling as...
What about a 3 day Thames Rover, usually valid for unlimited travel between Paddington and Banbury. Would this be valid between Paddington and Oxford on the diverted trains via Banbury?
A thought that has just occurred to me that I don't think has been mentioned here already, is that some of the planned future 116/216 dual voltage vehicle order for Southern could be useful for when Basingstoke to Southampton gets wires, as they would potentially be using the Eastleigh/St Denys...
I was on the final southbound 460 journey on the Gatwick Express, 0002 from London Victoria.
460002 ends 12 years of Class 460 operation on the Gatwick Express in a few minutes with the 0050 Gatwick to London Victoria!
Indeed 460002 is on the Gatwick Express today, on the usual 460 saturday diagram (posted the diagram in Frequently Requested Diagrams thread a while ago).
To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me either if I find a 460 in service at Gatwick before next weekend!
Last weekday evening of 460s on the Gatwick Express today. 460002 currently in the sidings at Gatwick, will be starting the evening with 1905 from Gatwick and 2000 from London Victoria.
Shame I missed that. I was at Gatwick earlier and saw that there was no 460s on the 1835 or 1905 (the usual 460 diagrams when they are used) so went home!
Apparently Friday 14th/Saturday 15th, next week, is likely to be the last 460 on the Gatwick Express.
460002 and 460007 are the only...
Southern made a good effort today to increase capacity, with lots of 8 and 12 car trains (12 cars unusual on Sundays).
Gatwick Express trains also serving Clapham Junction and East Croydon for a while this evening.
