On the NRES website, it states that weekend first upgrades are available on WSMR "priced at £15.00 for a single journey, regardless of the length of journey". Does this include the complimentary food and drink, I can't find anything on WSMR's website about Weekend First at all?
One thing I've noticed that is rather odd is that when ordering tickets from the SWT website, and other TOC sites that use the same system e.g. CrossCountry, I can chose any SWT station with a TVM to pick up my tickets from. Yet when using the Southern website, and other TOCs with the same...
I know there's a couple of you out there with a passing interest in automated station announcements, I've recently set up a blog/site which will hopefully contain lots of information and samples about the automated announcement systems, as well as acting as a "directory" for other recordings...
If you're interested in railway photography, especially in the south east and south west of England, you might be interested in a new blog from Slatter & Swan, which will eventually feature a guide to workings, good locations and traction etc.

Just having a quick browse on the system-which-must-not-be-named and noticed that all CrossCountry Reading - Birmingham (and beyond) services were calling at Solihull today! First time in a while for XC, anyone know the reasoning behind this as they are back to normal (non stop from Leamington...
On the 25th a day was spent in London where a number of required new sheds were copped as well as the first ever occurance of a Skip and Wessex Electric (unless anyone wants to prove me wrong?).

Tom C****s, Liam Yates (maybe) and another guy whose name I do not know, form part of the Skip Top Men, giving it all they've got behind 67026 on today's 2O72 09:09 Bristol Temple Meads - Weymouth. Seen here leaving Dorchester West.
A few train photographs from GTA San Andreas (these were taken with the in-game camera object):
I also got a freight but rather mucked up the photo of it! :oops:

My Vista laptop doesn't like BVE, and my XP desktop can't run it either despite having a GeForce 8800GTS, and many versions of the drivers have been attempted...
It took me ages to get BVE4 to work on my previous computer with a GeForce 6800GT. Does BVE have a phobia of high end graphics...

Been experimenting with Photoshop this afternoon and am planning on using it to edit my photos as it has an adjustable Sharpen filter which I don't think Fireworks has. Here are two images, please tell me what you think, how they could be improved and most importantly, do they look...
A trip around London for me today... not too bad except for the sun after 11am.

I'm quite happy with some of the results and today has rejuvenated my interest in railway photography after a few poor months of cloudy shot after cloudy shot...
I couldn't find a STANME codes list on the internet anywhere, and as STANME codes are what are used predominantly in TRUST and TOPS reports I thought it might be useful to someone if I began compiling a list - that and the fact I have too much time! :lol: This is NOT finished, but if anyone has...
