The road crossings are Causeway and Stocks Lane, just west of Steventon and Appleford.

Is it this one...

I think that on GWR a yellow will have 'reserved from Swindon to Paddington' - other combinations of start and finish are obviously available.

Exactly the same with me!

Right hand.

The late start was due to a 50 late inward working - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L47488/2025-12-04/detailed#allox_id=1 In to platform 1 at 15.32 and out again 3 and a half minutes later as the 1L60!

Sadly, the BR steam days of having coal fires in all the available rooms and enough staff available to keep them going have long gone! Ticket offices, parcels and assorted freight, including a lot of coal for local distribution, as well as that for station use, are but a memory - very much the...

I was on the 1F18 1223 from Pompey - shown on RTT as a 4-car when it was actually a 2-car 158. I joined at Southampton and it was full and standing and remained so, certainly to Salisbury where our group of retired staff alighted and headed to Wetherspoons which was an intention rather than a...

IIRC there was an instance of a 4-VEP formation wandering off in that direction sometime in the 1990s.

morebus down here in the Bournemouth area (and beyond!) added theirs two days ago. See https://www.morebus.co.uk/christmas For Christmas Day itself we have the M1 route from Poole to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, the M2 from Poole to Two Riversmeet (Christchurch) and the 5 from Bournemouth...

1A31 17.28 Weston-S-Mare to Paddington currently showing on Traksy just about to head past Heywood Road Jn.

I agree with silly. The clock at Waterloo is somewhat iconic for those of us who have lived within the compass of the SW Division of the former Southern Region for our entire life. Other station clocks - Paddington platform 1, are equally iconic. I quite like the style of the 'new clock' - just...

The 9O21 has a 2 minute turnaround at Sutton platform 2, arriving at 0847 and departing back to St Albans with the 9O22 at 0849! See RTT: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:SUO/2025-10-08/0847?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt The 9S07 is booked into platform 7 at Brighton at 0848...

Looking at the latest bustimes.org stuff they are no longer down here: https://bustimes.org/operators/morebus/vehicles

In much the same way a local taxi company in my area has a 'double 5 double 6 double 7' jingle on a local radio station - on the broad assumption that most people in the area know the STD code, which they probably do.

There were, I think, up to three of the Strong's ones on the down side after Winchester and before Eastleigh. Wooden structure with sign facing the railway. The structure of one of them was visible until moderately recently - it might be still there but the undergrowth has, as in too many...

Some may remember that on the down at Totton there was a somewhat harsh kick over the trailing points at the end of the platform which once led to Eling Wharf.

With regard to cancellation of XC services today, I have just stumbled across this STP SWR working from Basingstoke to Bournemouth in what would normally be the path of the XC service. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:F02365/2025-08-23/detailed I will have a look and see if there...

1M30 ended up terminating short at Wilmslow. See: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C23380/2025-08-21/detailed Just to add it (221144) then continued with the part-cancelled: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C23770/2025-08-21/detailed#allox_id=0

Well, I have no idea how many of you have been at Southampton Central when the quite frequent cruise ships arrive and depart. Suitcases roughly half the size of an under-worktop fridge are generally one per person - plus other assorted bits. A fair bit of the traffic is via XC services. Need I...
