No....no....yes....and no. in that order!It all seems a bit masonic, is there a secret handshake? Are there any lady members? Is the forum run by bots?
Thanks for that information. I shall be in the Guild Alehouse in Preston on this Friday afternoon.No....no....yes....and no. in that order! TV
One way to meet a few fellow forum members is to attend forum meals and pub visits. Would I be right in assuming from your 'handle' that you're located in the North West of England? If so, there's a forum meal in Preston coming up on Friday 10th March. If you're interested, send a private message to administrator @yorkie. Similar events are held in various parts of the country on a regular basis.
You don't need to know that information friend citizen...Is the forum run by bots?
If you attend a forum event I can give you a badge If anyone wants to meet us but there is no suitable event coming up, please get in touch and I will try to organise something.I've never knowingly met another member of the forum. I asked a friend of mine, who is a keen railway enthusiast, if he ever logged on to the forum and he claimed never to have heard of it.

Yes and I sometimes correct people misgendering them in their forum interactions (I know as I've met them, but some people assume).Are there any lady members?
We do try to automate as much as possibe, but no bots as such. It's run by volunteers (most, but not all, of whom work or worked in or for the rail industry)Is the forum run by bots?
Which thread? Could it have been locked?On another thread I went on it stated I hadn't enough privileges to post. This implied I had at least some privileges but didn't state what they were or what I had to do to earn more.
All very spooky!
The Preston meal in March?....or is that already fully-booked?but there is no suitable event coming up,
Only Mods (and a few others) can start new threads there in order to keep it tidy. You can reply to existing threads though.It's the Forum Meets section that tells me I have insufficient privileges to post here, when all I want to do is see which pubs members want to visit in the various towns.
Seems @superalbs and myself had the same idea upon waking up this morning, and now both find ourselves on an HST out of Exeter.

Indeed, it was absolutely amazing. What a place!I trust he's back from Japan now. His trip looked incredible.
Nice to see you again, lucky that I woke up earlier than expected (for once).

Have there been any instances in this thread of encountering other forum members while outside of the UK?Been twice and completely agree. However that's a little off topic for seeing other members.
Not that I'm aware of - other than pre-arranged rendezvous - but as well as my near-miss with @peteb in Genova last Sunday, my wife and I had another near-miss in Tuscany last year when returning from visiting friends in Asciano. The original plan was to take the loco-hauled Siena-Chiusi school train as far as Sinalunga....but my wife wanted to catch an earlier TFT connection to Arezzo for some reason, so we took the preceding railcar from Asciano. Had we stuck to the original plan, we would have encountered @43094 in the leading coach of the loco-hauled train.Have there been any instances in this thread of encountering other forum members while outside of the UK?
In some cases, it’s more likely to see some while outside the UK than in it! For example, I’m more likely to bump into @railfan99 while in Australia than at home.Have there been any instances in this thread of encountering other forum members while outside of the UK?
Having had the pleasure of meeting @J.C. for the first time at the Hebden Bridge meal last night, I encountered him at Halifax station late this morning boarding the train from which I was alighting.@Having left @yorkie at Halifax following the Hebden Bridge meal last night(13th July)
