Looks like it's reopened now (based on Traksy).

My old next door neighbour, Bob, is a local legend. He's 92. Born and bred in Coventry. He was only six when the blitz struck Cov. His older sister jumped on top of him as the bombs rained down. She surrendered her life that day protecting him. Some of his tales of WW2 Coventry are incredible...

Wasn't there a case not so long ago, where a bloke on a stranded train was forced to soil himself (pee), because there was a police officer on board and he'd have been arrested for public indecency if he'd have got his fella out in public and peed in the corner?

I do Reading <> Coventry on a semi-regular basis. I'd say that nine times out of ten, the XC formation displayed is correct, but it does have its moments and gets it wrong from time to time. Given the number of reversals in service I guess it's to be expected, but I've often done the gentle jog...

Linky.

Ah yes, that's a beaut. When I lived in Tooting I'd swim there with the South London Swimming Club. The Christmas morning races was such a cracking way to kick off Christmas Day! :D

Good point, that. Also worth noting that only one of the northbound Southampton services was a double unit, last Sunday. Bet the others were, ahem, cosy :s

Same, aye. Sri Lanka and all sorts. Having a mate that worked for HSBC in Colombo helped with the ticket costs, of course :lol: Think we paid 25p for a T20 World Cup T20 game in Kandy -- our 'seats' were described as being a spot on a grassy knoll :D

Yeah I heard that. Fulham legend :D Not as entertaining as his cat update the other week though :lol:

This is like watching a professional version of SoccerAid...

I remember South London buses back in 2003 or so went through a phase of announcing “bus stopping at the next bus stop. Please stand well clear of doors” whenever someone pressed the stop bell. Used to irk me no end!

Jailed.

Yep -- all fuel related according to reports I've read.

One for us night owls from LGW early doors this morning: Several flights diverted after plane blocks Gatwick runway Here's a few screenshots from FR24 that I took... Flight with landing gear issues at LGW being met by the emergency services on the runway: Nine flights squawking 7700 /...

If only the first class hosts would do that (in the carriage, not on the PA), as opposed to having to ask for a sandwich / sausage roll / tuna melt etc. :lol: The verbal ripple that went through carriage A on the train I was on the other day was hilarious. Drinks and light snacks dealt out as...

Agree with this 100%.

Very much agree with this. My earlier comment about stopping at Putney was firmly with tongue in cheek though :lol: (…although I do love it when we have Sunday home games!)

Kaneary Wharf as well (photo of adjusted roundel with temporary name).

As a Fulham season ticket holder who lives in Reading, I'd love it if they'd add the Putney call to the other six days of the week aside from Sundays :lol:

Yip. I messaged my mate whose son is bonkers about all things aviation, and they hopped in the car from their gaff in Sevenoaks and went out chasing it all over Kent :lol:
