    The west coast mainline north sees no services to the Scottish highlands, do you think LNER should run a service via Carlisle to Aberdeen?

    Birmingham New Street disruption 02/07/25

    I was on 9M55 and seen the damaged gantry, there was a lot of NR staff nearby, and a stranded train. As my train was the first one towards Euston, it was very busy after New Street.

    Who here plays an instrument?

    Inspired by the gigs thread, does anyone play an instrument? I've been playing drums for a year now and it's really good fun!

    TRIVIA: Most circuitous shortest route by rail

    A charter could do it with a reversal in Dagenham, but the shortest I can think of Is Stratford - St Pancras, St Pancras - Farringdon, Farringdon - Stratford

    I thought it was policy to open all gates if there's no staff around?
