Well thank you for the warm welcome.  I suffer a lot of joint problems and from previous experiences I check things work before spending a lot of time on Emails etc.

Anyway I've a question to ask of the railway professionals for my peace of mind.

So let me see if I can start a topic.

Hi, just a short Introduction,  you can call me Sally J. A product of the 1970's. I now live in the Triangle area  between Taunton, Swindon and Bristol.  I'd never been on a Train till I met my (now) partner in 2010, he is quite a rail fan on all things on steel wheels!

I had my first train ride from Bath to London in September 2010 and the speed scared the hell out of me, I've got accustomed to 125 mph and 185 mph on Eurostar since.
Sorry I can't say much more, but it's my partner who is the Modern Day Slave. Will explain more on another input.

Anyway. Hello everyone.
