1000th shack bash

[185143]

Leamington Spa is dud, as is the whole northern empire. I dont count light rail shacks to the total count, but either way ive finished Metrolink, most of supertram and Midland Metro.

Finished the borderlands line and most of what I need in the west mids is on the chase line-buses tomorrow!

I've decided on a travelcard-any suggestions?
I AM NOT GOING ON A 378 AFTER LAST WEEK!

Angel Road, South Greenford or Sudbury & Harrow Road.

Angel Road, South Greenford or Sudbury & Harrow Road.

Although for Angel Road + Sudbury & Harrow Road you will need to visit London on a weekday

---

South Eastern Metro, get some lovely 376s in the book to see that not all new stock is great

I need more of the South Eastern Metro than I'm prepared to admit!

Whats special about South Greenford?

 

[bb21]

I think South Greenford is the least used station in London, or something like that.

If you're into SE London, Bat & Ball has always tickled my fancy, but will require an extension ticket. Emerson Park Halt is a little bit awkward. Sundridge Park and Eden Park both sound much nicer than they actually are. West Wickham for some reason reminds me of Connor Wickham.

Agreed about Bat & Ball!

Emerson Park was the big 1000th!

Well done. Forgot to mention that the branch would have the LOROL 321s on but i guess you already found out for yourself.

I already knew anyway

Congratulations!

 

[FQ]

Congrats on 1000! Which 321 did the honours?

 

[Gathursty]

Very good on getting number 1000! Is Emerson Park that one near Upminster?

 

[Techniquest]

It's the one between Romford and Upminster

Well done on hitting 1,000 shacks 185143! Managed that ages ago

 

[backontrack]

^ ^ ^ ^

I think you meant this in your post, Techniquest.

[Techniquest]

I didn't choose an icon to go with my post :/

 

[backontrack]

Well, that's weird...

Did you accidentally hit the arrow keys, or enter, or something? That may have caused it.

 

[Techniquest]

No idea, but posting from my phone can sometimes lead to unintended taps!

 

[backontrack]

I have a feeling that there are quite a few on this forum who are fond of 'unexpected taps' - and expected ones, too!

 

[Techniquest]

Depends in what context you're talking about

 

[backontrack]

The Wetherspoons context

 

[Techniquest]

I figured that might be the case, but best to seek clarification

 

[backontrack]

I think that the posters involved wouldn't seek clarification, they'd seek the taps

321414. Was the LO person in the back cab a guard or RPI?

 

[FQ]

That and 411 are my only remaining ex LM dustys!

Vote Dusty Bin!

My friend had 413 and (417?) Is in service with GA until feb?

The Romford - Upminster line is Driver Only Operated, so they wouldn't have been a guard.

Emerson Park Halt, as it used to be known, a fine station. Had a tiny booking office until it got burnt down, and gas lamps into the 1970s (or did I imagine that).

 

[Mojo]

For some reason, rather than staffing Emerson Park, they have decided to put a customer service assistant on the train.

321411 has gone to the works as 320411

 

[FQ]

I'm never going to get it now! 414 has a lot more chance being in London on a branch that I want to get.
