With all the problems Low and Highland sleepers is giving us just lately , How come the Night Reviera Sleepers from paddington/penzance runs so smoothly and without any delays (not to my knowledge) or am i missing something ?
Regards Dave :o
I have noticed last night that the N/S bound Sleepers are carrying new reporting numbers, 3 digits and a W , what would the W mean ? I know they are digits but in my opinion it has took the shine off the both sleepers :( Regards Dave1954 .
Although the trail has now officially ended but does anyone know whats going to happen to the Bears ? is there any plans for them to become a permanent fixture around London ?
Thanking all in advance . dave1954:)
When was the stand back behind yellow line on platforms introduced ? if I can remember correctly I first saw them about the time when the HST Service was introduced on the East Coast and the West of England services from Paddington , or was the yellow line introduced way before HST ...

Hello everyone, first post.
Does anyone of you know of any websites relating to the TPO Operations on the British Railways Network during the 1950s-90s? ie: times, departures, destinations, reporting numbers ect?
I have searched the internet but no luck so far...
