*Bad Luck Brian* Reads Haunted Railways Thread; Stuck at rural station after dark

I think we can take that one further...

via Imgflip Meme Maker

Stuck at rural station after dark...

...Altnabreac.

*Bad luck, Brian*

If Dixe Wills' Tiny Stations is anything to go by, it's also quite macabre.

 

[Tim R-T-C]

Well if we're doing that:

Stuck at station after dark...

...Ardwick.

*Bad luck, Brian*

Another passenger joins you at Altnabreac

*Ancient Aliens*

Here's some topical ones...

*Success Kid*

158908 on hottest day of the year...

Aircon working!

*Bad luck Brian*
Northern 158 with working aircon...

Only going from Batley to Dewsbury.

Hope I've formatted the quote correctly, touchscreens aren't easy on a day like this with sweaty fingers!

*Virgin timetable mistake*

YOU HAD

ONE JOB

This mistake is repeated all through the timetable, even going southbound.

Maybe the person responsible just hates Wakefield? Can't say I blame them to be fair...

 

[backontrack]

It also happened in an advert for Virgin TransAtlanic in that same timetable.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

I didn't know Virgin Atlantic served Wakefield...

 

[Techniquest]

Maybe the person responsible just hates Wakefield? Can't say I blame them to be fair...

Perhaps they visited Kirkgate and realised just what a horribly poor place the town is! I was certainly left with far less than positive impressions when I visited Wakefield on 31st May!

Anyway, time I got on with contributing to this thread!

*Most interesting man in the world*

I'm not always on a bash, but when I am it's legendary

via Imgflip Meme Maker

That's mostly referencing me and my trips really

*First World Problems*

Goes to New Street for a 390, gets a poxy 221

via Imgflip Meme Maker

That one is aimed at Virgin Trains West Coast and Network Rail, for their inability to use the Passenger Information Systems to maximum use and indicate what's a Pendolino and what's a Voyager. It can be done at Birmingham International, Rugby, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Crewe and Stafford (no doubt at others too), but not at New Street! Really does irritate me to the ends of the Earth!

Final one for today, and I'm sorry but it's also complaining about the same thing as above!

*Y U No*

Y U No tell me it's a 221 or 390?!

via Imgflip Meme Maker

I did warn that it's something that really grates on my nerves!

*Unpopular opinion puffin*

I don't like Virgin.

*x, x everywhere*

Threads about XC operating to Brighton,

threads about XC operating to Brighton everywhere.

 

[Kite159]

Is XC going to be operating to Brighton?

With Loco hauled 442s?

 

[Techniquest]

Bang some 37s on there and watch the XC trains fill like crazy!

Can't believe how long it's been since XC stopped running to Brighton...

Here we go:

*Willy Wonka*

So XC are running to Brighton again. Please tell me how that'll work

via Imgflip Meme Maker

*Futurama's Fry's squinting*

Not sure if a 350/1, /2 or /3 approaching

Back to the XC Brighton thing:

*Captain Picard WTF*

Loco-hauled 442s to Brighton? You, good sir, are mad!

via Imgflip Meme Maker

That'll do for now...

 

[backontrack]

Just a heads-up that I'll be away from the forum for a few weeks - on hols.

Success kid needs toilet at Waterloo. Turnstile out of order

and as such, no need to pay.

 

[MCR247]

*Futurama's Fry's squinting*

Not sure if a 350/1, /2 or /3 approaching

You can tell if its a /1 or not because their corridor connectors are completely yellow (see here) whilst /2s and /3s have part black and part yellow (see here and here)

(Not my photos)

*Awkward Moment Sealion*

Tech tries to make a funny meme, pwned by MCR247

This one is particularly relevant around my area, with yet another round of cuts coming:

*X, X everywhere*

Bus service cuts, bus service cuts everywhere

One more for now:

*Bad Luck Brian* Goes to charge phone on an HST, sockets all tripped

 

[Kite159]

*Bad Luck Brian* Needs a plug socket on a VTEC HST. Gets the Former EMT set*

Ancient Aliens - Brighton Service from Great Malvern? Aliens

 

[Techniquest]

Love those two!

 

[Kite159]

5 hours 20 minutes, must be one of the longest services operated by a 158.

I think we can take that one further:

*Bad luck, Brian.*

Yeehaa, this thread is back!

One inspired by this morning's events:

*Kill Yourself Guy*

Nero coffee on Virgin Trains? No. Just no.

*Joker - everybody loses their minds*

Open a station at Newcourt and nobody bats an eye

Open a station at Tweedbank and everybody loses their minds

*maury lie detector*

Google Maps tells you it's 13 minutes walk, more like 25, liars!

via Imgflip Meme Maker

(You can tell I'm not best pleased about that!)

One does not simply...

...travel by train in Kent on a Sunday.

Normally it's the other way round, Google says 25 minutes where as it's actually 13 minutes as they base it on the world's slowest walker

Although Nokia Here maps app is worst at having a slow walk speed

In my day, Irish Rail actually used their buffet cars
