That's a dead cert, plus copious amounts of photo's on Facebook too :lol:

Just my tuppence worth, and seeing this is speculative ;). Reopen Nuneaton Abbey Street Station and use as a run round. Run a service thus: COVENTRY - Coventry Arena - Bedworth - Bermuda Park - Nuneaton P1 (SD) - Nuneaton Abbey Street (RR + PU + SD) - Nuneaton P7 (PU) - Hinckley - Narborough -...

Jeez they didn't mess about :o

Just a follow up to this thread, I follow another drone flyer on YouTube and it seems that new legislation/restrictions COULD be on the horizon. Funnily enough though, most of these "auditors" tend to use Go-Pro's and Zoom camera's mainly with just a drone flight forming a small part of the...

Not sure if engineering work is included but I've known of services terminating short of Nuneaton from Leamington at Bermuda Park with an RRB running to Nuneaton Station.

Apologies for being late and off topic but how would one define "essential travel?". I was having this discussion the other week funnily enough. A particular journey may not seem essential to one person, but to another it could well be (mental health etc). I even know of several enthusiasts who...

Fotopic was fabulous, didn't the original developer go on to create a site called "Pikfu", but I think that was very short lived.

There was a similar story line in London's Burning when firefighter Bert Quigley befriended a group of protestors, protesting about a new bypass road because a rare plant was in the way - although little did he realise at the time, the "Plan B" alternative route would run right behind Bert's...

The way things are going with the tickets, it looks like I'll be setting up camp on the London Road Bridge with my 600mm lens instead :lol:

Some interesting responses, of note as well, I see that one of the best known auditors; DJ Audits, has been quiet since the beginning of December 2024 too.

Hi Folks, I couldn't find a relevant thread so started this one, I'm referring to the Knighton Junction, Swannington and Leicester Junction line - or the railway that runs from Knighton Junction to Burton On Trent. Looking at the diagrams to see what was about and having a general nosey, I...

Hi Folks, Just putting the feelers out to see what others think. I've been a drone flyer since May 2024, mainly using it to get different angles on old railway infrastructure, disused industries as well as filming the modern railway scene. I'm registered with a operator ID and have insurance...

Spalding maybe?, once had 7/8 platforms but now only 2.

Hinckley to London via The Scenic Route. **NOTE - MOST PHOTO'S ARE VIDEO STILLS SO PLEASE EXCUSE THE QUALITY**. On Saturday 9th November, I undertook a bus timetable challenge to see if I could go from my local bus stop in Hinckley, Leicestershire all the way to Trafalgar Square in Central...

In the early of days of Voyager operation, there was a Swansea - Edinburgh service. I did the inbound from Birmingham New Street to Swansea (was an 08:42 departure from Birmingham New Street), can't remember what Voyager but I remember the name Marco Polo 8-) - my first ever trip on a Voyager too
