Is that the same route as the old MAGLEV from the 1980s

I see we were on the Chingford branch at the same time. And you got 315812, which I require and missed that day...

23/12/2018 - London Day 3 Less luck with the phonechargers this morning as duds 707019/008 were on the early train from Feltham to Clapham Junction. Better luck here, though, as winner 378203 was sitting waiting to take me up to Kensington Olympia. I'd been here before, but never used the tube...

Have used hostels in the past, and enjoyed them, but fancied a bit more comfort this time. Will bear the Holland Park one in mind, though.

22/12/18 - London Day 2 The day began well with required mobile phone chargers 707007/027 appearing to take me in to Clapham Junction - I didn't muck about stepping back at Richmond as SWT had industrial action that day. Instead I decided on a quick spin on Southern. Another winning pair in...

Thanks LSG. Should be updating the report on Thursday or Friday next week - a week off before Christmas = 7 days on over New Year...

A Spin for the Solstice. A tax rebate, and six days off. What to do - London. Two nights Travelodge booked at Feltham, but no suitable cheap advances meant the slow train to and from Crewe to keep costs down. So the morning of the 21st saw me heading up to the station on Tram 3019, down to...

Likewise :)

Nice to hear from you again, and I'm glad you're feeling better about yourself. I hope that 2019 is a good year for you. In one of your posts you mentioned enjoying keeping up with reports on here. One aim for me in 2019 is to write them up more promptly! I'm planning a jaunt for the end of...

I don't see why the ferry wouldn't count - surely for floatage rather than haulage, though! I did a Devon Ranger back in 2007 (to clear the Exmouth and Gunnislake branches), and a trip from the former across to Starcross ensures the "Orcombe" its place in my moves list...:) Did the ill-fated...

The first four days of December are devoid of locs for me; so I'll jump the gun by 4 hours and go back 37 years to 5/12/1981 when a day spotting at York ended slightly earlier than planned thanks to 55007 being allocated to Trans-Pennine duties, and taking me back to Manchester Victoria.

Wouldn't mind a Tardis back to that day - all bar 47586 would be winners for me! 18/11/84 saw me returning to Birmingham from Manchester. There was some sort of power outage, so I was lucky enough to get 25259 dragging as far as Macclesfield. So excited was I about the rodent that I didn't note...

05/11/2000 - back from Scotland with 87033 (Carlisle to Preston) and winner 90003 onwards to Wigan. 6/11/84 - an hour or so in the Birmingham are produced 87032, 47553, 86232 and 47530 on the New Street to International corridor...

Identical, except my sandwich contains sausage...
