Unfortunately not very busy which is a shame as I really like the Battlefield line. A preserved line that, no disrespect, doesn’t try too hard Staff are very pleasant & everything is relaxed Got a great station buffet too which opens on a Saturday,Sunday & Wednesday Can’t get much for £15...

Also at Dawlish along the sea wall. Obviously not for an embankment there but for the sea that used to & still does top the sea wall

Decided to take advantage of the 33201 running day today 4 round trips totalling 40 miles for £15 Only did two on account of having a sleep in as I work nights. Bacon butty at the cafe at Shacky went down well before enjoying 33201. For a flat gradient line there was a surprising amount of full...

Thanks for the help on 3Q36 Carl

Good morning Can you tell me what’s allocated to the following today please https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U56637/2025-07-08/detailed Passes Coalville crossing 10:06 Thanks Carl

Precisely why I’m not going Everyone will want to get their money’s worth (don’t blame them tbf) & not everyone is polite at waiting All you get at galas is "your blocking their photo" "So what if I am they can wait" Could turn into a right bunfight Good luck to the event though

I’m down there now Come back Saturday

Spares for their two class 90’s?

What grinds my gears is if United had turned up & made a decent game of it but lost I wouldn’t have minded so much It was the fact that they were there & had no urgency about them until it was too late. They’d scored 35 times in 14 Europa matches before tonight then they simply forgot how to...

Total shower. Can see why United are 5th from bottom in the premier league Still, United till I die

On a recent Mazey day tour to Penzance that we went on, when you take into account travel to & from the start point, food & drink & the tour itself we didn’t see much change out of £600 but the key thing was we enjoyed it. As for this year I can’t see us doing a tour. 37’s don’t interest me &...

I wanted to go but decided on the SVR & enjoyed 50049 all day Fantastic weather & well supported A great laugh was had by all on the service

Been going since I was 18 I’m now 56 Never had a problem there. Only place I’m totally relaxed

Probably better on cwr to be fair Will have to pop over to Stourbridge for another blast

Wouldn’t like to do 45 mph in a 139 20 mph is bad enough

If I remember correctly the pair worked the first service of the day at the GCR gala I joined at Quorn for the short run to Rothley Quite a few on board too Most of the cranks if I remember waited at Loughborough for the loco hauled 2nd service.

Always wanted to visit the gala at Swanage but with free time a tad scarce in my life I don’t fancy the 9-10 h drive there & back from Leicestershire That’s why I stick with the GCR or SVR galas 20 mins from Loughborough Just an hour from Kidderminster

Was at Peterborough on Monday & while the Azuma’s looked good from a distance when they stopped by me on platform 4 they were anything but. Paint decals & outside fittings all suffering

Cheers Dan

Along the same lines, I once noted an EMT class 158 at Derby with a destination blind saying Ashby De La Zouch, my home town. Weird as the station was closed in 1964 I’ve got a photo of it somewhere
