Transport you have not been on

[Zoe]

The opposite of the thread started by GodAtum, what transport have you not been on? Current transport only please as the list of histroic transport would be near endless.

In my case: Planes of any description, 67, 90, 156, 165, 166, 168, 172, 175 185, 222, 317, 322, 323, 375, 377, 390, 395, any 4xx, any 5xx, 2009 Stock, S stock.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Airship.

Did nearly get to do this mode a couple of years ago with the Zeppelin NT over London, but it was sold out and it never re-appeared the following year despite them telling me it would be...

 

[Mvann]

Hovercraft

 

[Lampshade]

Space Shuttle.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Still not done a 67 or 57 but I guess I can be forgiven for not doing a 380 yet.

 

[scotsman]

Hovercraft, Zeppelin, Maglev, aircraft larger than a DH6

 

[RPM]

Segway, hovercraft, hot air balloon, unicycle, trans-mat beam. Done some silly ones like maglev, Sinclair C5, atmospheric railway (yes, honest!).

 

[LE Greys]

747, A380, in fact any four-engined aeroplane, or three-engine or single-engine for that matter, only ever flown in twins and gliders, and anything piston-engined (will fix that in 2013)
37, 57, 60, 92, 2009-Stock, S-Stock, 171 (unless you count an exhibit at Railfest in York), 185, 314, 318 (I think), 323, 455 (bizarrely), 507, 508
QM2, any other ocean-going ship (discounting museum ships)
Soyuz, Space Shuttle (well, you said current transport, both have carried pax )

 

[Techniquest]

Most aircraft, boats and buses/coaches I reckon. I'd be here all day going through lists of that lot! In terms of the railway:

Locos:

All shunters (except for the 03/04 at the Gwilli Railway)
17
35
44
86

DMUs:

All first-gen DMU types except for the one at the SVR (well, and 121)
139
155
172

EMUs:

325
379
380

Not much to do in terms of current motive power at least!

 

[Dennis]

I've never flown or been in a rubber dinghy. Also never been on a 155, 139, 314, 322 or 395 + a few others.

 

[LE Greys]

Missed out 315 and 376 (not counting 379 yet)

The things I most regret missing out on are Concorde, APT, the QE2, a Class 50 and a 309, all of which were in service in my lifetime.

 

[Techniquest]

Dennis has reminded me that I've not done a 139 yet either, which is surprising considering that it's not super far from me!

 

[anthony263]

Never been on concorde or any other aircraft although i have always wanted to., never been on a class 156, 180, or class 455, 365,317,321,322 emu's also never been on a train hauled by a class 20

 

[Ivo]

Quite a lot unfortunately; if it's not a modern bus or modern train that it's likely I haven't done it. In terms of vehicles that are in motion...

Sheffield trams, most sea-going vessels, every type of aircraft except for the 737 (I think), the Dennis Arrow, all Scottish-exclusive DMUs and EMUs (including 322), classes 144, 155, 172, 332, 373, 379 (if it counts), maybe a few others.

And some more which I'm not in the mood to think about; bit sleepy.

 

[Techniquest]

Curses, forgot about the 380s too. A thread about them on another forum reminded me of them, starting to get quite a bit I've not sampled!

Might well pop out tomorrow afternoon to Stourbridge to get a 139 in the book actually and clear that gap up.

 

[WestCoast]

Quite a lot of people not been on aircraft - that's really surprising for me as a bit of an aviation enthusiast!!

I've been on many types of aircraft, never been on an A380, but I've done 747/777/767/757/737 and most of the airbus types in addition to ATR72, Let 410 and Bombardier Q400.

Never been on a hydro-foil, I've always wanted to go on one!!

 

[Royston Vasey]

Hadn't been in a helicopter until a couple of weeks ago... it was in Monaco, it is like a taxi service over there! Seriously!

 

[scotsman]

MV Hebridean Isles is my last major CalMac to get...

 

[atomicdanny]

Diesel Loco - Everything Except the 37, 43, 47, 57 and 67! (though that it would be easier just to say those that I had been on for this one!)
Steam - Most of them!
DMU - 102 - 120, 122 - 131, 140, 141, 172, Blue Pullman

EMU - 300 - 312, (although I may have been on one of those but can't remember), 370, 379, 380, 401 - 410, IOW Stock, 501-506

Electric Loco - Most before 1980s!, (except the 86 onwards)

Aircraft - All!

Boats - Most of them (except the hovercraft and a ferry)

Buses - Again lots (I have no interest in these so don't know what most of them are - well except a few where I am!)

 

[CNX]

Eurostar.

MV Hebridean Isles is my last major CalMac to get...

Wednesday in the Summer she goes up to Oban and back via Colonsay if you live near and want to try that route, from memory she's a nice viewing area at the bow! Also got to go on her bridge when I was a wee bit younger than that due to her being early.

At Colonsay (I'm a part Colbhasa/Sassenach) if you're on the pier you can see how little draft she has as well.

My list would be too long, so just calmac fleet.
All except, Isle of Mull, Lord of the Isles, Hebridean Isles, Clansman.
Somehow I've not managed the Isle of Aran despite seeing it every year!

 

[kentuckytony]

Several of the methods mentioned above, but also of note, a deep gorge zip-line and a white water raft. I hope to make an attempt at these this spring vacation!

 

[Seacook]

In generic terms:

aircraft (including lighter-than-air craft, hovercraft, gliders and parachutes)
motorcycle (with or without a sidecar)/motor scooter
rickshaw
horse/camel/mule/etc (including horse drawn vehicles)
sleigh/sled/toboggan/luge/etc
skis
skates
spacecraft
pogo stick

I'd love to visit the Hebrides, and while I'm at it have a wee go on some of Calmac's larger vessels. I reckon I've been on most of the smaller ones (including Loch Alainn, Loch Riddon, Loch Shira, and all the other things that have graced the Cumbrae crossing over the years), but I've never been on anything larger than Saturn. A trip across the Minch in a Force 8 gale wouldn't go amiss

I hear the Lewis has an interesting feature during heavy crossings, a loud banging on the bow doors. Not sure if it's been fixed since she was launched, passengers must have felt safe.

Sailed on the Loti in some gales, she handles them very well and is suprisingly quite a pleasant vessel all round.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I very nearly got to go on the L and Y 0-4-0 shunter with wooden blocks number 51207 (I think it was that number) that was working in the goods yard in the area near Salford station, that is at ground level, when I was 13, but an inspector saw me and told the driver off. I was supposed to have been playing rugby for the school.

 

[justinsteam]

I've never been on a bendy-bus, they are a waste of space and cyclists hate them.

Double deckers are a much better use of road space.

I'd love to give that one a go!
