    No Horsham-Peterborough service Saturday 2nd March

    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.

    Wigan to Manchester via Warrington

    Looking at tomorrow, there seems to be an xx:18 from Wallgate each hour.

    Urgent TOPS Requests

    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.

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    Which *could* call at every station. So request stops weren't necessarily stopped at.

    RMT Industrial Action Update to members

    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...

    Competition to name one of the Class 150s on the Marston Vale Line announced

    And then when that unit fails, can we all be "FED UP WITH BRICK!"? :D

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    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.

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    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.

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    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.

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    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...

    GTR employee bids to visit all 2,580 GB railway stations in 6 weeks

    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.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Which of course, may not be something a cyclist is doing. It is made very clear when booking a seat, I quite agree.

    Scotrail’s alcohol ban - pointless?

    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...

    TPE to go 2-hourly Glasgow/Edinburgh on WCML from June (still at 110mph?)

    That would be an easy solution I quite agree.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    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!

    TPE to go 2-hourly Glasgow/Edinburgh on WCML from June (still at 110mph?)

    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...

    Is the 58 Macclesfield-Buxton the perfect bus route?

    Used it a couple of times, albeit not for a good few years. Seemed to load well and have a good mix of fare payers and pass users
