Nightingales Coaches still run a few Merc 709Ds on weekday services here in Lowestoft, many moons since First got rid of all theirs. Still some P and R-reg Darts in service with First, but their days are very much numbered, as First have bought a load of Darts from the Isle of Jersey (WITH...

Time for a long-overdue update from me on this front. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 15H, 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 47, 48, 49, 52, 55, 56, 59, 67, 69, 73, 74, 76, 88, 93, 94, 97, 98, 115, 123, 137, 139, 141, 149, 153, 158, 159, 168, 171...

I can now add the Overground between Walthamstow Queens Road and Upper Holloway, and the Northern line between Highgate and Camden Town to my coverage. Hopefully, the coming summer should give me an opportunity to clear the Hainault loop of the Central line, some of the Piccadilly line north...

Would it be theoretically possible to travel on the Stansted Express between Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street using an Oyster card? I think it can be done on the basis that I touch in on a reader at Tottenham, and then I can catch any train from there heading into the city, but I'm not...

Well, I'm going to London tomorrow, primarily for the Stone Roses concert in Finsbury Park (just to make some of you jealous :p), and I have plans to cover a few more stretchs of the map to kill some time in the afternoon before I actually go to the gig. I'm finally gonna do the GOBLIN, from...

So yeah, it's another one of my mad London trips, and sadly the only one I've managed to do this year. Personally, I didn't think this one was as good as my August 2012 trip which can be found here.), primarily as I had to return to Lowestoft the same day. But here goes. Caught the half seven...

Are these the first PEP-design carriages to be scrapped?

The current mob are probably the most inept bunch of clots I've ever seen on the show. :lol:

A fairly topical song at the moment, despite it being released some 22 years ago now. Also features the late Kirsty MacColl. liNnCKPeEv0

Are there any 37/7s registered for main line use? I know WCRC bought a job lot of them from an EWS tender about 5 years ago, refurbished one and reinstated it, only for it to catch fire a few weeks later. Whilst that might be a good idea in principle to remove the ballast, I fear many heritage...

Pretty much this for me as well. :|

Good word, the new format is ghastly. There was nothing wrong at all with the old format. Forget it, modern life and technology is rubbish. :evil:

I just don't understand why UKIP appears to hate multiculturalism and the liberal, mostly tolerant society we live in. Surely these are things to make you proud of this country, and rank amongst the traditions of the UK? And with UKIP being a more right wing version of the Tories, surely they'd...

A bit of Amy Macdonald to round off the evening. _nkJgw0dvOk I also appear to be the only person in the known universe who doesn't understand why Daft Punk are so loved. I find them incredibly awful. (running for the hills).

I chuckled out loud when I heard that Niggle Farage called the protestors fascists. Oh the irony. :p UKIP will go the way of the BNP in the next few years - a complete joke party. Oh wait, that's what they are anyway. :p

Sadly, it looks like Vettel and Red Bull have got their own way. :evil: GO HOME RED BULL.

Terrible news. I hope this doesn't end up with them having to close up shop completely. Looks like most of the casualties were Varios and Solos. At least two Volvo Olympians were destroyed as well (452 and 475).

I think the teams (coughRedBullcough) should stop moaning and work with the tyres they've got. If Ferrari and Lotus have built cars that work well with the current rubber, why should they have their advantage taken away just because of the failings of the other teams to make the tyres work...

And to think this time last year, we were all celebrating Pastor Maldonado WINNING an F1 race. Why Williams, did you have to build such a crap car this year? :cry: All in all, good race this afternoon. Alonso's first few corners will be stuff of legend in years to come. I don't think I've...

I've read somewhere that only 5 of the 314s are getting the Saltire livery. Why would this be the case?
