Also, 350 at Weston Milton? That's unelectrified, isn't it?

Did anyone notice the 323 at Matlock earlier?

 

[Harbornite]

Oooh, 90024 was seen!

Good cop that was! I saw it at Tamworth the other day, but this is off topic.

They're talking about stateside foamers now.

I wonder if some of our younger contingent are trolling the show... "Just seen a class 442 at Berney Arms!" etc?

What next? A 230 at Newhaven Marine and a Deltic at Harborne would really cut the mustard!

 

[anti-pacer]

This is dire!

"I haven't got any 700s in my books"

Well, you're not going to get any at Clapham Junction...

 

[Harbornite]

This is dire!

It's not. This ep has been better than the first and as good as the second.

That young lad did trainspotters a service - came across as well dressed and sociable. Wonder if he is on here, should have mentioned the name of his site!

Each to their own.

He coped in front of the cameras, unlike Thomas yesterday.

On the plus side, they've finally found a young spotter who doesn't get tongue-tied... He could teach Peter Snow a thing or two...

Snow just cut that ticket bloke off too! WHy are they rushing so much?

 

[Harbornite]

I've just realised how soothing Hannah Fry's voice is. No wonder the signalman had a stiff lever, fnar fnar.

 

[birchesgreen]

Peter Snow read my name out so i guess i can die happy now

 

[Scott M]

All live TV tends to be a rush - if you watch American news shows you will see. They can't possibly know exactly how long segments will take and don't have the luxury of being able to edit it into time like prerecorded shows.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

That Hannah Fry is magic! How did she get from Didcot to Stalybridge so quickly?

Though she did mention the greatest town on the planet, so that's a plus!

"you can't do above 125mph"

What about HS1?

 

[Harbornite]

Class 390 spotted at Wick, bloody hell!

 

[Haig paxton]

If any of the presenters are reading over this it'll be Tim Dunn. I wish people would stop moaning about the programme, it's better than nothing.

There was the proviso about in-cab signalling in the next sentence...

 

[Harbornite]

I agree. I'll point out the odd flaw but the programme is refreshing and light hearted, I'm hoping for a second series.

"Darth Vaders" don't exist anymore. They were the Class 460s that were cannibalised to form the 458/5s, were they not?

But anyways, I'd happily watch another season of this.

 

[birchesgreen]

Yes i hope it returns

Flippin duff gen.

They mean 180s, i've never heard them called that before though

 

[Scott M]

Ahh so sorry that show has ended!

Thoroughly enjoyed it, really good concept and I'm with Harbonite - really hope they make a second series!

For anybody following the accompanying live blog at http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ec55v2/live/c5v2fx, some highlights from my ticket collection feature at the 8.42pm point (they have called me an "expert" ... far too kind!)

I agree, I wasn't expecting perfection but all very enjoyable

They've been using it for 180s. On the whole, it was a bit different from the usual railway programming. It wasn't very well organised though and was rather lumbered with the pomposity and incompetence of Peter Snow. Sounds to have been quite popular with "normals" though so who knows, it might be back...

 

[Harbornite]

Titfield thunderbolt is on now. Good film.

Ah that was you, nice!
