What kind of jobs can I get on the railway at 17? I have quite average GCSEs - 8 Cs, a B and a D. I realise I can't work on platforms, or on trains, or in signal boxes. But are there any jobs I can do? What's job availability like around my area? Do I have a chance of a job around Buxton >...

Valerie eat your heart out, Lisa is on the scene! Remember though boys, she's mine! I make her smile :D

I think there's probably been similar threads, but I think it's time for another. Funniest things you've heard or seen on the railways. (Things that are only funny because they didn't happen to you are fine) (Or for that matter, things that happened to you that you don't find funny but we...

Coming upto Christmas now and I'm hoping I should have enough to get a nice shiny laptop. I'm reconsidering things about the MacBook. After my iPod packed in after just eleven months, it made me question Apple products in general. (Plus after using Leopard a little, it was rather confusing, but...

For all you mega geeky Star Wars fans out there...or just fans of plan weird and awesome crap that you can do with a computer! This can be done on Macs, but I don't own one, so I don't know how Go to "Run" in the start menu and enter "telnet" The command prompt should come up. Type...

Around May time, I should be doing these two amazing lines again, and could do with some times for when the Cambrian Coast Express kettle does the coast. Where's the best/easiest place to catch it from? Do normal tickets (or privs) cover the Cambrian kettle? Or would I have to buy a...

As you may know, I take pictures on my phone. I have always had the same phone, which is now getting a little worn. The filenames for the images are now getting to DSC03000 or something like that. If I buy a new phone and put my memory card in it, what will happen? Will the filenames carry...

My iPod is throwing a paddy. Help anyone? Charged it last night. It was fine. Battery was a bit low when I plugged it in, but it synced some new songs on there and when I came to get it this morning, the "charged" icon was showing. I unplugged it and put it in my pocket ready to go. Turned it...

Got four young female gerbils yesterday. Having problems naming them. Any ideas? Good luck finding a name I like :p

Platform 0 is never used at Stockport. I remember a Buxton train about a year ago being put on there, but until today I've not once seen it being used again. Today, it saw two services in the space of about 15 minutes. One to Alderly Edge and another to Buxton. I thought that there was a...

"Vandals on track between Peterborough throwing stones at train windows. Previous 3 services sustained broken windows. Held at stand until police cleared the way" - traindelays.co.uk Daniel - [http://spyke.org.uk/gallery] says: did you hear about that train in south east london where...

Gonna go out and get some coverage tomorrow and LittleRedTrain will only be able to travel on SWT (apart from a couple he's paying for) services, as he is using gold cards. We want to get the Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth done. Only problem is, we're getting the Salisbury to Bristol...

Okay, my friend is asking ticket advice from me, and I'm no good with tickets. So... Buxton > Manchester Piccadilly > Norwich > Great Yarmouth On the 24th October. Leaving Buxton at approx 0830ish. Returning on the 28th. of October. Leaving Great Yarmouth approx 1400ish. Cheers in advance.

Received an email today from a gen group saying that 390022 "Virgin Hope" had been renamed to "Penny the Pendo" "no joke" I've looked it up on the junction, AbRail and google and cannot find anything about it. Anyone know what this is about? Cheers.

I wanna travel first class (assuming I have to pay full fare for this? NUS cards not accepted? Nor privs?) from Manchester to London and get a Primo breakfast. Looks like I can only do it on a weekday, and the 0705 seems to be the only train I can catch too. Not sure on the date yet. But...

What the fudge is going on at Ascot today? Gangs of BTP, RPIs and guards, everywhere!

There's a few [phone] pics of the open day at Newton Heath up on my fotopic. Also some random pictures from random wanderings around the South East and South West, including some slammer bashing. Latest collection http://gizmogle.fotopic.net New pics will now be uploaded weekly on a...

Neither do I :p Would make an interesting meet though. Don't they kill gay people over there?
