A couple of 153's passing at Llandrindod, but what isn't quite right?  |

Nice spot Angel, the destination board of the right hand train is indeed wrong (should read 'Swansea'), but not what I was intimating about.....try again!

Hmm. That poster (the London Midland one, not bignosemac!) only gives part of the story, anyway: fair enough, 'When the ticket office is open, buy a ticket before you board the train'. That's a bit obvious - but what it doesn't then explain, to the perhaps rather puzzled infrequent passenger, is what to do if the ticket office is not open? For example, 'When the ticket office is not open, you may board the train and then buy your ticket, provided that you have the intention and means to pay, and you seek out the train manager on board as soon as possible'.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Well you live and learn......even trains have to put some socks on in winter!! And for the record the photo was taken on 9/9/9. It was a lovely day and unlike 153303 I was sans les chausettes  |

Just a minute! What the hell is that poster doing there?  I know that LM▸ manage Coleshill Parkway and other stations east of B'ham which only have XC▸ services (an inconsistency caused by the desire for XC to manage no stations) But I thought ATW▸ managed all Welsh stations, and if so - what the hell is that poster doing there?! |
