Ooo random spam

It's not Spam you cheeky git!!

I have no idea what this thread is all about, but it most certaintly doesn't belong in this forum (if it belongs on RailUK at all). Moved to General Discussion.

i can't believe you've not heard about Trainbaby, he's got a cult following around Northern land, he even has his own website and facebook group and has even found fame on Youtube so there you have it. Trainbaby is a star in his own right!!

 

[John_158]

Such a popular website that it had, a few minutes ago, 440 hits, of which around half a dozen were me.

 

[Gizmogle]

I'm well impressed that you have mentioned Gizzy on the Trainbaby website!

Do you happen to know if my name is still in both cabs?

 

[JoshW1992]

Waaaaaaahay, literally as soon as I got off the 225 at Doncaster on Saturday, I saw 158905 sitting in the Bay Platform.

 

[BJMorley]

I have met a TPE guard who owns a 158905 model. Seen it in Sheffield a few times.

Interesting...Unless I'm reading the abbreviation wrong, we now appear to have a London-based club for adults of a certain and very extreme persuasion as one of our members! hock::razz:

...Although what that club would want from a railway forum is beyond me, unless they have a specific night planned which would benefit from knowlege of OHLE for certain alternative applications. It would be technically impossible to host one of their nights on a train, though! hock:
(If ye still havn't figured out what I'm on about yet, then don't worry about it. :roll

 

[TG]

London Based??? Southerners??? I'm losing it, i really am!!

I'm sure not from down south, i'm what they would call - a great Northerner!!

 

[Broken Viking]

Well...Here's the only other clue that I'm going to offer, as to go into more detail then that might not only breach the forum rules, but would probabally do general internet etiquette no good either. hock:

If ye recognise the logo then ye recognise it. If not, then it's a hard night on Google for ye...

Ah, the magic of the URL

And, no, not the ******* one

 

[TG]

Ah-ha. Me thinks you've figured out the abbreviated form of my forum ID Mr.Death!! Am i correct in my thinking there?? Still, i don't recognise the logo except it appears to spell out the initials of my fully-named self!!

 

[90019]

Of course it could be the much more mundane TG

No prizes for that one.

 

[TG]

Mundane?? The cheek of it!!

 

[90019]

Mundane?? The cheek of it!!

Well, compared to the other TG previously mentioned, Top Gear is mundane, that was the point i was making

 

[TG]

Ahhhhhhhhh, with you!!

 

[90019]

Good

 

[TG]

phew, it's tough been the new girl!!

 

[Tom B]

Cut the crap, please. "Chat" style posts should not be posted outwith the chat area.

 

[TG]

wow, strict!! (i'm new here and still trying to find my way around - sorry!!)

Trainbaby (158905) was on a Nottingham service today. he was running 54mins late dure to signalling problems. Crunchie (158791) was to be named "County of Nottinghamshire" today as this was the "press release" service.

 

[Gizmogle]

Here's the list of names given to the Northern Rail class 158s:
158815 Gizzy

Haha, I get excited every time I see that.

Would just like to thank the lovely member of FGW staff that named this train for me Legend!

Although, I must say, the names for the other trains are ridiculous! In a cool kind of way though, of course.
