    First class cheaper than standard on Greater Anglia

    Yesterday, I bought tickets to travel between Norwich and London Liverpool Street, plus a return, for the 23rd of February. It transpired that First Class would actually be £4 cheaper than standard class (£19.50 against £23.50) on the journey to London, so of course I went for it. But why would...

    TfL possibly taking over more London routes - April announcement?

    315s are the norm, but I do remember seeing some 317s on the service on Christmas Eve. And 317s are stabled overnight at Chingford. It'll be interesting to see what does pan out. I can't see TFL taking over the GA routes though, as surely the DFT would want to keep all 315s with one operator...

    London 25th August 2012

    This was the second time I'd attempt London's transport system on my own, the first being back in April of the same year. It was basically taking advantage of the fact that the Olympics/Paralympics meant that there was no tube closures whatsoever. Anyway, I left Lowestoft with my family at...

    2013 Gigs

    Seeing the Stone Roses in June. Can't wait for that. :D Other than that, hopefully the Arctic Monkeys will be touring at the end of the year, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of bands playing at the UEA whom I'd like to see. I'm pretty miffed The Courteeners aren't coming to Norwich on their...

    January Exams

    Politics resit today. God knows why I decided to resit an exam that I got a B in last year, but oh well.

    Chiltern's Mk3s

    Hopefully when the GE franchise is let in a few years time, there'll be money allocated to doing up the MK3s to this standard. Hopefully no bloody EMUs. :twisted:

    January Exams

    I often find if I feel I've done badly in an exam, I've actually done really well. In May last year I did my second Politics exam and I thought to myself afterwards that I couldn't have done a better job screwing up that exam. Turned out I got a high B for it. In contrast, I did my Maths C2...

    New Years resolutions

    I'd definitely agree with Yarmouth. I haven't had the 'pleasure' of spending a day in Slough or Luton though! :p

    Step access buses

    First Eastern Counties have only a dozen or so step-entrance vehicles left in service, all of which are Volvo Olympians. These regularily turn up on the Lowestoft to Martham service. That said, there's a big fleet of P and R reg SLF Darts in service with EC which I'm not sure can conform to...

    January Exams

    I actually really like C3. Hated C1 and C2, and I'm somewhat indifferent to S1 and M1. Not yet started C4 though...

    Why are the frequencies so poor on the NLL?

    A train every 10 minutes off-peak is more than adequete for the NLL, based on my experience in August. Caught a train from Caledonian Road and Barnsbury to Willesden Junction at about 10:30 in the morning and there was plenty of empty seats.

    New Years resolutions

    My resolutions are: 1. Pass my A-Levels and get into uni. 2. Get a girlfriend. 3. See more bands live this year. (I'm seeing The Stone Roses in Finsbury Park, so that's a start for sure. :)) 4. Make sure this year is just as good as 2012.

    Bands/musicians that you now dislike

    I was wondering if any of you on here have had this; where you really like a band or musician, but over a few months you just go right off them. It's happened three times to me, with the Lostprophets, Muse, and The Verve. I was a massive Lostprophets fan in the autumn of 2011, but during the...

    Canary Wharf to West India Quay (DLR)

    I also use Herons Quay to change from the DLR to the Tube. The only problem with the station is that the Oyster readers are a bit hidden away behind columns/pillarss...

    156402 Norwich Crown Point - Wolverton

    Well, I finally had a journey on 402, forming the 14:58 from Norwich to Lowestoft this afternoon. The interior just seems...sterile. Far too much white is used inside, which doesn't help, and the retained seat covers really let the refurbishment down. And they STILL haven't applied vinyls to the...

    Campaign launched to rename Birmingham Airport after Ozzy Osbourne

    Sod Black Sabbath, they should name the airport after Ocean Colour Scene, the best band to have come from Birmingham! :cool:
