Ended up on a 4 car 377 ex Reigate into Victoria earlier from Clapham Junction.
The tube in pre 2020 peaks was less busy. OK, I know that it can't be more than 4 coaches, but I'd guess few others onboard did. An absolute disgrace on both sides of the river.
I'll reiterate this request and add 710268 to it please if someone could be so kind
1709374563
Any gen on 376018 and 376019 would be appreciated also please.
Don't know if anyone has access to London Overground allocations?
If so, I'd appreciate knowing if 378215 is out and about as a matter of urgency please.
The request still stands tomorrow (at least) if not.
Either that, or the travelling time to be included within a dispatchers shift.
So someone based at Oxford Road working an 8 hour shift may well be asked to cover at Blackpool (assuming they're signed off to dispatch there), but they book on and off at Oxford Road and travel to Blackpool and...
I've done all the new openings too.
Even went as far as doing Reston on opening day then getting the Sleeper down to London for the CrossRail core opening the following morning.
I've actually been there twice. Once to tick the shack, secondly to tick a Pacer.
Berney Arms was my last station in March 2020, having missed it on my main visit to Anglia due to the engineering works on that line that went on for about a year.
Different service, unless the train departed and returned. Such as Georgemas Junction and Hampden Park.
So at the end of the line I could reboard the same train, but nowhere else.
Wow. Someone with even stricter rules than me!
I just had to board and alight at each station. Admittedly the vast majority I would have spent more than 15 minutes at, but certainly in the London area, there's plenty I've bailed, got a phot of the sign and jumped on a train on the opposite...
Indeed! Particularly given they haven't actually even called at every station, never mind visited them!
I've boarded and alighted at every station in the UK & Ireland. There can't be too many others who've done that.
I'm sat drinking alcohol on a ScotRail train at the moment.
It's vodka in a bottle of Pepsi Max. So how anyone would even know...
Remember when I did my last Spirit of Scotland rover. Was supping a Tennents on an E-G 385. Got my ticket checked and no comment made. A couple of days later I was...
They are indeed.
The lounge car is a bit like Wetherspoons (with no disrespect to either brand!), plenty of alcohol, hot drinks, soft drinks and easy to prepare food. Just a shame they don't adopt their prices!
Slightly off topic, was on the 10:21 Man Picc-Edinburgh earlier. The guard had quite a few passengers with seat reservations that didn't exist.
It twigged after a couple of minutes thinking about it that this is the normal 802 diagram on a Saturday, running with a 397 today. Suppose that's an...
