This is one for the guards out there. We all work a train that we could call the Jeremy Kyle Express. <D

What's yours?

Sounds like the Weybridge branch from Virginia Water onwards to me. :)

Haven't worked it in a few years; the Robin Hood line between Nottingham and Worksop. I'm convinced that's where the majority of Kyles punch bags come from.

A couple of lads I know are bus drivers and they used to drive what they called The Hollyoaks Runs the 8am Go North East 65 to Durham and the 3pm service that included picking up at Hetton School...

I used to call it the Future of Jeremy Kyle

or use the Fife Cicle on a Sunday or more gastly the EDB - GLC Via Shots semi fasts and return on the last train pre evening peek.

True, ive 'met' a few characters on the one of the later Glasgow - Edinburgh via shotts services, even got offered a free can of tenants. nice :roll:

There's got to be a few in the Bristol area, although there's also got to be a few around Polsloe Bridge too. And Reading to Reading West / Newbury.

Having done the line to Digby in the light for the first time the other week, with that I can agree. I wasn't actually aware that this bit existed, until I saw it the other day. The couple sat next to me weren't the most intelligent of folks.

Also mis-timed my trip and ended up coming back when the schools in Digby were finishing for the day, loads of 11 year olds on the train back. Asked a couple to get back from the platform edge, as they were doing stupid balance games right on the edge just a minute before the pacer was due :roll:

Some of you who've posted above need to visit Gloucester.

With that, unfortunately, I can agree! :|

(Although I'm not from Gloucester, I'm from the Forest)

Lothian's 14 is known amongst drivers as the Methadone Express.

The area immediately around Polsloe Bridge isn't too bad TBH. It's mostly Student hovels between there and the city. Some of the roads around St Thomas are Kyle territory as is Exwick, Beacon Heath and the area around Rifford Road (I have family on that road, they are prime Kyle candidates)

Upon searching on google maps, it's in the area that I thought, yes. Going into the city centre after coming off Junction 29, just before you go past the junction with Butts road (always amuses me) and up through Heavitree. Always did wonder what it was like.

And hey, leave us students alone! Not all of us live in hovels! ;)

Butts road is OK, my friends live just off it. It's near enough to Rifford Road to be cheap but far enough away not to suffer the chavs

I just like the name really :) Never given much thought about anything else more than that, but yes, I know which bit of the city you're on about.

Exeter area is relatively posh compared to other cities, worst for me is Newbury-Reading and Taunton-Bristol stoppers with Weston and Highbridge being the worst. Truro-Penzance is also pretty rough.

I thought that a little bit too when I traveled down there in the summer, but I thought I was the only one who thought it! Glad I'm not alone,

The Ellesmere Port line up to Hooton worst places are Hooton and Little Sutton. Ellesmere port as well because you have the Dopes and wanchors from the Wessy estate

Anything to manchester, JK is filmed at an address in Manchester but JK doesnt disclose where to other than to contestants and audience. From JK's website for applicants

Each applicant allocated an audience ticket agrees to be available to attend at an address in Manchester (to be provided)

Mainly the part near Camborne. Camborne has one of the national highs for underage pregnancy, and has Cornwall's largest council estate.

I know of 3 people from Camborne who have made appearances on Jeremy Kyle. I just laugh at them. One of my former colleagues went, and was treated to a luxury 2 day trip, all expenses paid for to Manchester. Imagine this is a holiday to some of his clients
