As if SWT^▸ (South West Trains) staff havent seen slam door trains there before in recent years!

The alleged availability of albatross crisps on some atw at seat catering services!

3	Journey by Journey / Shorter journeys in South and West Wales / Pontypridd new platform?	on: March 25, 2013, 19:21:32
Nice to see the new canopy, waiting room, ticket office and toilets but when will the new platform be done? Surely the bridge is going to be restrengthened as well or are they going to use the open bay or infill it to stop short of the bridge on one long platform?

4	All across the Great Western territory / Media about railways, and other means of transport / Re: Ian Hislop & Beeching Report Anniversary - BBC4 Thursday 28/03/13 2100hrs	on: March 25, 2013, 19:04:00
There seems to be a lot of documentaries into the history of the railways on tv recently, whether they are repeated or not! Folly or otherwise, industrial vandalism or progress, they are always interesting. When you see the Freedom Railway doc / Maree on Tarrant it puts the UK^▸ (United Kingdom) in perspective!

5	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that??	on: March 18, 2013, 19:31:56
And quite a way from Wire Piddle!

6	Journey by Journey / London to the West / Re: News article on main line to the south west	on: February 26, 2013, 23:51:47
Been stuck at red at the sea wall myself too! Would a way through Tavistock be a more cost-effective alternative for Plymouth and Cornwall ?

7	Journey by Journey / Portsmouth to Cardiff / Re: Brighton to Great Malvern service.	on: February 21, 2013, 22:56:08
Did it to Ashchurch once - in a 2 car 150. Glad I didnt bank on catering!
