Spotted this line up on Platform 1 at Temple Meads this afternoon, waiting for a Severn Beach service. Perfect photo opportunity.  ;)

Most unusual to see 5 unrelated people sat on the one bench. Thing is, if they'd shuffled up a bit there would have been room for me to park my butt as well!

Oh come on - no.s 3 and 4 are clearly a couple who have had an argument and aren't talking to each other.  They're making up by text ... just look at the body chemistry  :D

If you ever want a 2 seater to yourself, sit in the Window seat of a busy train and when someone gets on looking for a seat, smile slightly eviliy at them and pat the seat with you hand... The result, pax finds a seat in the furthest possible coach.

Another one that works is take an aside seat and when someone asks to sit there reply with "I wouldn't, a young child lost control of his bladder when he was sat there, they just got off at Keynsham" ;D

Not that i've tried any of these methods of course........... ;D

In all seriousness I haven't, but a certain forum I moderate which is essentially a b*tc*y student forum has some interesting topics when it comes to public transport... Some of which I wouldn't recommend drinking any liquid whilst reading ;D I'd fear for my reputation if I mention that I normally travel 1st :D

Yep. Heard Jimmy Carr make that same suggestion.

I'm too nice though. I rarely 'bag' the seat next to me. And, even when I do, I'll always stow my bag/jacket if the carriage starts to look a bit busy. There's always a chance that a really fit lass nice person of the fairer sex will sit down next to me, a conversation is struck up, and we end up living happily ever after. Ain't happened yet. I live in hope.....

Failing that, I'll give up the seat occupied by my jacket to a fellow ferroequinologist, so we can have a nerdy chat about FGW's Class 150 situation. That happened yesterday....

Now. Is there someone of the fairer sex out there who also knows her Class 150 gen....?  ;D

Possibly not, although I do follow a nice looking lass on twitter that certainly knows her stuff on Desiros! Probably a bit too young for you though ;)

My ex girlfriend *shudders* has a big thing for Pendolino's... She was so into them infact, there was a joke going around that she supposively lost her cherry to a Virgin Train on the Liverpool line! *Ducks as mookiemo throws unidentified heavy objects at him for insulting northerners!*

Miss trout on the other hand is starting to remember what trains are what now! I've been teaching her well. Strangely enough my favourite picture of me & her is actually taken on 150234... That git of a 150 is stalking me I swear! However at my next meeting with the quack I don't think I should inform him this............ ::) :o :-X



Edited to fix quote. bignosemac

She lost her cherry to a Virgin Train? I know that trains can be seen as a bit phallic, but did you not mean 'on a Virgin Train'?

That said, if you want suggestive visuals (with thinly disguised double entendres) involving Pendolinos, look no further than Virgin's own advertising:

Saucy!

No... I did mean to! I had the unfortunate pleasure of living in a Mental Rehabilitation Unit just after my 18th Birthday and lets say some of the people there, were a little "special" she was bonkers but probably saner than I was at the time! The less said about that though the better though! :-X
