I myself wouldn't know, but apparently there are many quite interesting and occasionally somewhat surprising internet resource pages to help with this problem..........

Superb! Don't forget that loss/removal of Wife 1.0 usually requires Rich Lawyer 10.3, available at any solicitors for between 2000-10 000 pounds. Running Rich Lawyer will uninstall Wife 1.0 but often requires the removal of drive 1(and the house and garage attached to drive 1) and a downgrade...

Hate to join in the Nick W bashing that goes on in this forum but good grief mate, the Ecml would have been truncated at Newcastle if Beeching had had all of his way! Much of what Beeching did was unavoidable but his report went a little too far, he lived in an age when congestion was something...

After some digging (and thanks again to Gordon), this page lists them all- http://www.bahn.de/p/view/planen/reiseplanung/streckenkarten_nahv.shtml or navigate from the bahn.de frontpage:- planen & buchen/reiseplanung/nahverkehrsnetz. I must learn some more German!

Got back on saturday and have to say I am well impressed. Travelled mainly by metronom and db 614/628 type dmus, also on Hannover S bahn. Out of 24 journeys made the only one that was even slightly late was the sleeper home which arrived ten mins down at Brussels from Hamburg. I travelled...

Thanks again. I'll post anything interesting here when I return (assuming I dont end up stranded at the far side of Europe or something daft like that!)

Cheers again. Last question (honest)- are there any 'must do' journeys in the Hanover/Bremen area? Interesting older traction or scenic routes?

Cheers mate, exactly what I was looking for. Now off to buy a phrase book and book some tickets! PS what are the rules regarding photography over there?

I am going to Lower Saxony next week (to see my kids) and intend travelling around using the lander tickets for that area. Can anybody point me to a comprehensive rail map, either online or to purchase? Any other tips for a first timer abroad would also be welcome! Thanks in advance.

We seem to be assuming that the motorist was reckless. Please bear in mind that visibility of any form of traffic lights can be very difficult in conditions of low winter sun, when lights can be either silhouetted when driving into the sun or the aspect 'washed out' when the sun shines straight...

I'm sure most people agree that the IC125 is a classic british train. With this in mind it is almost a certainty that some will enter preservation in the future, maybe even maintained to main line standards. However, the question is this- is somebody, somewhere stockpiling a few paxman...

So how do you propose to cure someone who has been brought up with the same moral standards as you and I yet decides to murder? I'm not aware of any country/administration that can do this as yet, civilised or not. Christianity/Islam nor almost any other religion you would care to mention...

Further north..

Ok then try this one from around 1989..

Was sitting on a bus today (which I suspect many on this forum would consider odd), when my thoughts drifted onto how other people view transport enthusiasts. I've never understood how a passion (for trains, aircraft, buses) that has a greater following than many major football teams has become...

Burngullow-in Cornwall just west of St Austell Irvine- in Strathclyde, just past Troon on the single track line to Kilmarnock. Wasn't there also a china clay run to the Shotton/Wrexham area?

Many years ago was on a HST that hit a man crossing the tracks just outside Hartlepool (that shows just how many years ago!) on the way to Sunderland in the evening. We were delayed by about 2 hours whilst waiting for the cops to attend, fortunatly the man wasn't killed, the train continued in...

"Hero driver saves high street" A bus driver today saved the high street from potential disaster by preventing a number 9 bus from rolling backwards into the nearest illegally parked car. Explained the driver 'the wooden chock that firstgroup normally use to prevent our buses rolling...

Sadly even a well paid full time job is no guarantee of regular rail trips(unless youre a train driver)-I averaged 4 long distance GB trips in the last 4 years- best advice I can give is live it up at mum/dads in employment after finishing uni/college/school and make sure you go on any dream...

Further GM action from the same trip- 212 on the 18:00 Westport- Dublin 28/6/06 and 57310 on the 1003 Manchester-Holyhead 27/6/06
