Do you mean £4,000 ?

Always an enjoyable read, have you ever travelled in Slovenia between Divaca and Koper?

My error, nothing to say

Its my wife's birthday today, we've know each other since we were 5 years old in infants school, 62 years ago. Woe betide, even since teenage years, of anyone wrapping a birthday present in Xmas paper or saying "couldn't find a Birthday card'. Our Xmas bits came down as per the rules of the...

Maybe the District Line, Lovely areas of Richmond/Kew Gardens and Wimbledon/Wimbledon Park through to the urban sprawl from Whitechapel to the Dagenham post war housing estates and back to nicer areas of Hornchurch and Upminster

My first Saturday with a free London Transport staff pass, which was September 1974, I did route 175A from Romford to Ongar 'Cripsey Avenue' and back to Ongar Station then the Central Line to Epping for a couple of round trips

In my experience no difference at all driving single or double deck vehicles. Each to there own opinion though.

Of the few bits of track I have to do to complete the whole country one of which that I was left with is Drem to North Berwick, now I can add Newcastle to Ashington. Going to have get the timetable out, I'm sure I can get both done on the same day. I have a holiday in Northumberland in March so...

I was going to say 2 as well, English and South London English

I notice there is an extra today from Falmer at 16:52 to London Victoria calling at Three Bridges (reversal at Lewes Signal LW58, from platform 3 to 2) then East Croydon, Clapham Junction (all set down only) and London Victoria. Crystal Palace have just finished playing Brighton. The stock came...

My local station is one of the semi rural ones on the Ipswich - Bury St Edmunds section of the Cambridge route and the 755's serve us very well, except for the normal 'big' delays, trees down, freight train broken down etc they are consistently very good trains. To threaten to have a situation...

Penge East, if you stand at the north end of the southbound platform it's possible to look the whole way through the tunnel to see your stopping service stationary at Sydenham Hill, did this every morning on my way to senior school for five years. c 1969 - 1974

Haa Dent been mentioned, steep access road , a mile or so from Dent village. A noticeable incline Northbound through the station, stunning scenery and in-between freight and passenger trains it's very quiet and peaceful 1733128444 Morecambe is misleading, fine old station building opposite the...

We are 500 odd posts in so I thought a reminder of the new names might help. Hope this helps a reader or two. I have cut and pasted from one of the self-praising TfL pages. Lioness (currently known as Watford Junction to Euston) - yellow Mildmay (currently known as Richmond and Clapham Junction...

There's now 500 odd posts and on this occasion I haven't read them all. But, I just put into the TFL journey finder Epping to Canonbury?, and it offered me Central line to Mile End, District Line to Whitechapel, and then Windrush Line to Canonbury. First time I've seen that used.

That's good/helpful advice, I'll use this information in Spring 2025 during a visit. Thanks for posting

I would of thought Ipswich and Manningtree if you had the resolve to do it would be tempting for a commuter to travel in and out each day. For several years of the 1990's I did Hastings to London every day many others from Battle and onwards to High Brooms and Tonbridge

Falmouth branch has the quirk of the two trains on the branch passing each other at Penryn station, Penryn just having the one platform. Bit like Dovey Junction with the Aberystwyth branch

It's probably not the first time of something similar but I notice on Sunday 27th , Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool are all playing in London at Cheslea, West Ham and Arsenal respectively

I've read it, as always
