Don't think many people here would be interested in Super Sentai/Power Rangers, but next years series in Japan is to be based on trains! It wont be localised/adapted for a western audience for a good 3-5 years, but I am kinda curious as to what Saban (the current western localisers) will do with...

Not sure if this has been posted, but it has just popped up on Metro Source 8jPyg2pK11M I cried a little when he got to "St James's Park" :lol:

Have been noticing a number of new '13 reg buses using white text on the destination blinds instead of green/yellow which we've had for a good 15 or so years. Just wondering if anyone knows why the change has happened?

The day following the incident at East Croydon, a number of trains have been delayed/Cancelled between London Bridge/Surrey Quays and Crystal Palace/West Croydon/East Croydon as a person has been hit at New Cross Gate. Just passed the site and it appears to be a 2 car 171 (possibly 171730) on...

Was at Oxford Circus Underground station on the NB Bakerloo platforms and noticed a little letterbox at the end of the platform. I do not recall seeing anything similar at other stations. I didnt get a close look at it, but it looks as if it isn't in regular use. I can only assume that it...

London Reconnections - In Pictures: Refurbishing the 95 Stock A couple of interesting shots from the new look interiors of the Northern Line! Looking a little more brighter inside (and a little bit "Piccadilly"), no shots of what they've done with the perch seating area. Looking at the...

Hello all, My Mum is planning a trip to Haslemere this Saturday, travelling from Norwood Junction. She was planning to just get a ticket between the two stations, however she has a 60+ Oystercard entitling her to travel free within the London zones. I've found it would be cheaper for her...

Hello, just got caught out by the engineering works between London Bridge and Charing Cross today and ended up getting the train via Cannon Street. Of the top of my head, I couldn't remember if there is an OSI in place at the station to any of the nearby LU stations (since Cannon Street Tube is...

Just wondering, as my work place is along the Strand, we regularly have the heritage route 15 going past and everytime I hear a Routemaster, it reminds me of the single deck Dennis Darts that I used to ride on in the mid 90's (not sure of model makes, but the ones Cowie/Arriva South London had -...

[thnx mods :)] The other day when travelling on the LO, I had a thought as to why the Network map didnt have zones indicated on it as seen on London Underground maps. With the orbital system in place, I can see it being one legible nightmare trying to mark the zones in especially with stations...

Last week, I had a shift on Christmas Eve ending at 6pm. What I forgot about was the fact that even though a weekend service was in operation, I would be charged peak fare in the afternoon on my Oyster. Today a Sunday service is in operation, will I be charged peak again when I finish at 6...

Just had a thought, with the South London extension of the London Overground opening at the end of the year, I was wondering whether you would be charged a NR rail fare between West Croydon/Norwood Junction/Crystal Palace and Clapham Junction or a TfL fare as both ends of the journey start at LO...

I've read around the forums of several refresh programmes taking place with Southern and Southeastern rolling stock. One of which caught my attention was the rumour of Southerns 455s receiving a refresh and/or having new handrails installed. While Southeasterns 375 refreshes were put on...

Just purchased a YP single ticket travelling from Norwood Junction to Lincoln with a seat reserved for the 0930 East Coast service from Kings Cross. First of all, I booked the tickets yesterday around 3pm expecting to pick it up from Norwood later that day. I got to the station after 11 that...

In a few weeks time, Im planning to travel up to Lincoln (LCN) from Norwood Junction (NWD) for a reunion with some mates from uni, but I've been trying to slot this into my work schedule so that I can maximise my time there. I've found that I can travel up on 1 Feb (Wednesday) and return on...

Hello! I havent posted on the forums for a while, but I am wondering if anyone could help me? I am in the process of creating a custom liveries for Classes 170s, 455/9s and 380s, for a route that may/may not be made :oops: (-hoping for a AC/DC passenger train to turn up with the ability to...

Just popped into my local ModelZone (Croydon) just to have a gander and to find out when the new 2012 livered 395 set will be available. Just to start a random convo, I asked whether they had info on when the long promised 466 would actually be in stock Lo an behold, it turns out that they...
