034 was The Black Horse yep.

002  was never Techniquest, it was Techni?uest Tongue

002 used to be TOP OF THE POPS

I was pointing out the error in the name given....

Jim I gathered this. I just thought that maybe some of us on here might want to know the previous name of 43002

Ah ok - sorry.

Anyone know the whereabouts of power car 43004 since it came back to FGW▸ (First Great Western) from Brush for cab refrofit (30.11.07) as nobody I have spoken too has seen it this year (2008)

last time I worked it (about 3 or 4 weeks) ago it still had the old cab interior!

...  You see me talking about "regain and retain"?  The ultimate confirmation will be when the service of 6 trains a day that we intend (!) to get from December is enhanced further; you're welcome to apply my name to the 06:15-ish Weymouth to Oxford and beyond. This will take commuters from Dorset and Somerset via Melksham to Swindon and Oxford.  "Beyond" is in planning - via Bicester, Milton Keynes, to Bedford ... or via Banbury, Coventy,  and Nuneaton to Leicester. I think we need a 158, although I'm worried about overcrowding between Frome and Oxford ...

My goodness - I'm following a post that's so long ago it pre-dates Go-op ... perhaps that's telling?    Anyway - from 1952 I came across the following

I suspect there are other pages to that timetable we haven't seen but the timetable clearly states "weekdays only" but then goes on to show Saturday only services. Very odd.

I think there was one Monday to Friday, four on Saturday and none on Sunday ... "Weekday Only" used to mean no Sunday service ...

No other pages to this particular table ... but great fat booklet I could digitise more pages from ... don't want to flood the forum though!

Old timetables were notoriously difficult to read.
