The latest running of the Cathedrals Express -next Tuesday- features 'Flying Scotsman' running from Victoria to Reading and then onward to Chester. Tickets are being sold for Vic - Reading separately to the 'main tour'.....with all the secrecy about 60103 and its excursions I was hoping...

Have just checked the timings for today's run from Three Bridges to Bath and have found that the Black 5 45407 is now booked to haul it rather than 34046 (masquerading as 34052). Cannot seem to find anywhere why loco's have been changed, is there a problem with the WC?

Following the damage sustained in a fire in Eastbourne last November Class 377, 377 442 has been reduced to a 3 coach unit and returned to traffic numbered 377 342. Having tried the search function on this forum to find out more - but to no avail - I am interested to know a few things? Is...

I have just been out to watch the return of the 'Royal Wessex' along the coastway - with seemingly half the population of Worthing. The train ran @10mins late with 47 832 (which was 'tail-gunner' on the outward leg this morning) hauling just the rake of stock, so no 'Spam Can' even at the...

Had a really good time travelling on this tour yesterday. A pair of 73's, good weather, decent comfy seats and a quick trip into Newhaven Marine was topped of by the Lover's Walk depot at Brighton bringing their 09 down to Montpelier sidings prior to our arrival complete with the old Sussex...

With two Deltics (9019 & 55 019) due at the Bluebell to haul trains on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week I was wondering if anyone new the timings and routing for their journey from (and back to) Barrow Hill?

I've just found yet another article about the Javelin charter that ran between Eastbourne and Hastings on Jan. 30th and I find myself asking a lot of questions about the logistics and the internet grapevine too. This latest article - on an excellent site for EMU's and historical BR era stuff...

Was out and about today watching 442's & 319's while I still can and on the lookout for new 387's. Whilst at Gatwick a pair of GBRF Choppers 20 905 & 20 901 ran through southbound at about 13:45. I caught a train to Burgess Hill and returned to BH station to catch the 15:01 thameslink service...

Went up to Barrow Hill the weekend before last for the appearance of the two A4s before they leave the country. It was my first visit since the Southern weekend early last year and I was also looking forward to see how things had progressed with the Belle since then. I was really surprised...

Was stuck at Hayward's Heath this morning by a failiure on a combined Coastway West/ Ore service, whic turned out to be intersting because there were four class 456's in the siding on the North West end of the station. The units were: 456 011, 004, 010 & 019. Is this a stop off point for...
