    Highest number of 47s possible for haulage (47s that have worked passenger)

    The excellent Leighton Lists has collated workings of all the 47/3s at Paddington over the years: https://leightonlists.com/paddington-473s-all-o-them/ I wonder which other locations they all worked through? Some obvious candidates but what would be the least likely?

    Parking at Sandwell & Dudley railway station.

    I’d go early if you want to find a space. It starts to empty out from mid afternoon but if you 100% need a space there during the week you’ll be lucky to get a space after 9am if not earlier on a weekday. The car park is on both sides of the station approach too if you weren’t familiar with the...

    Where is this class 50 in Chester ?

    …and there was a regular propelling move at Inverness when the last arrival from Wick went past the TMD and propelled back into the platforms usually used by the services heading south. At least I think it did, otherwise I missed out on a few chains of gronkage :-). Would reversing into a dead...

    Routes that previously had catering trolleys.

    My summer/winter holiday job from Uni in 92/93 was providing trolley service from Luton to Gatwick/brighton. Two return trips to the seaside each day (my preferred option) or three returns to GTW. I certainly racked up my 319 mileage!

    Nuneaton drags

    Pondering the drags that used to regularly happen on the WCML and wondered more about their history. There’s many discussions and pictures of the exotic traction they had in the 80s such as: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/1980s-nuneaton-drags.109441/ but wanted to know this: When did...

    Back in the day...

    Which ‘coasts’ & which ‘peaks’? I did read that often summer Saturday services often had guards who didn’t usually do passenger services so weren’t too knowledgeable about ticketing. Not entirely certain on that though

    WMR Class 196 Build and Implementation

    Are there any extra diagrams from June when the Shrewsbury service becomes 2tph? Or is it just the ones that head to TS for a rest staying out all day?

    Opportunity to pay

    the same as the OP , I’m asking a theoretical question. I know GWR sell these online. Do you think Avanti ticket folks wandering the concourse will be telling any passenger in this situation that they should go and buy it from GWR? What if they don’t have a smartphone? A lot of the discussion...
