I'm in the same sort of position as stew above (post 22) in that my train was cancelled, I did check that it was running at about 18:30 the day before. It was. When I went to the station in the morning to get the 05;49 it was cancelled. So I got the next train and with a few changes got to...

Not quit true as the signals with the fishtails are distance signals and should show a yellow light. The arm IIRC was painted red at the time and not what we now expect as the normal yellow as now and a black fishtailed band. But the lights would always only show a yellow or green. If what your...

I keep looking at the track that is to the side of the derailed train in the photo!

For my next day out I had my young bud Ben wit me. As is pretty normal for us we started off at Barrow (BiF) on the 05:49 and heading down to Birmingham (BHM) on a West Midlands day ranger starting at Stoke on Trent (SOT) at £19 with rail card discount good value, then the day went like this...

What do you put down for a cab ride? I put down P pulled, C cabbed, R ride. so PCR. Getting a PCR now is very hard to get and to get one with a D on it is like hens teeth.

I did put in a delay repay for the last journey and got one ticket back instead of four, it's now on going. Some of the lads mentioned about having a day out in Liverpool (LIV) as I've not been out much this year and still wanting one 507 for traction, I thought why not. As with most of our days...

Thanks for the replies.

Does the quote from NRCOT 13 apply equally to Rover / Ranger tickets? I ask this as the Tocs on the East Yorkshire Round Robin don't mention Hull trains, but do not say that the ticket is not accepted by them. I'm looking at 13.1 and 13.1.2 in particular. TFAH.

The second up date in a week (has the man gone mad) please don't answer that one. First off a photo from December from the fiddle yard at the country end. Before we had to drop the boards for Swiss Pass. The same BB on Monday (14/2/22) in my new workshop (the library/ N gauge room). As we can...

Hello all, a bit of an up date on the trackwork for Lochmaben, we had to partly vacate the big club room as Swiss Pass needed to be erected for testing and making ready for Preston show 5th & 6th March. But we are still plodding on. Rick as been working on the tie bars on the points and is...

From Bidston you can see the trains at Leasowe (70 chains) and possibly Moreton (1m 34 chains). The M53 overbridge doesn't get in the way as you look under it.

To the OP you could go Liverpool / Southport to Leeds any Northern route, then along the Settle and Carlisle to Carlisle. Then you would have to get back to Merseyside to do that I'd use one of these http://railrover.org/pages/northern-explorer-55-west-day-ranger.html it also gives you a bit of...

I did quire this with Northern when I got two of these tickets back both with my name on them when one of them should have been for my mate. The reply that I got over the phone was as long as we were both traveling together it would be alright. I'm not sure how that works?

The only free fulfilment method that I could see was to have the tickets sent to my phone, that is not something that I want.

Hello all, we're planning a trip down to the West Midlands using a West Midlands day ranger that starts at Stoke on Trent. To get to Stoke we're using Northern complimentary travel passes to Manchester Piccadilly and advance tickets to Stoke. I went onto National Rail Enquires to check the...

I have some RTVs that are due to expire on the 12/3/22, the question is can I use them before the 12th to buy tickets for use on the 19th. I think that this should be OK but I'd like conformation. TIA.

We had our first proper day out this Saturday (5/2/22) starting off at Barrow (Bif) on the 05;49 and on to Leeds (Lds) to start using the West Yorkshire day rover train. At £8.30 good value as it can be used on all services in its area (including Grand Central). So this is how the day panned...

As the OP is buying the rail card on line I do hope that they are getting the three year card at £70 not the one year card at £30.

Rick, got us some nice chairs printed from Off the Rails at Shapeways for some of the point chairs for the front of the layout, these are are the before and after primer photos. A bit of work will have to be done to these as they are for a 1:6 point (these are to fit a 1:8) and are at 1.02mm...

Hello all, all of the best for the new year (it's a bit [lot] late ), A bit of an update on Lochmaben for you, this should be the last on laying sleepers (who said thanks for that at the back of the class?). The last or first scenic board going onto the fiddle yard (station end), the track...
