Is there an argument for the 26-30 railcard to be available as a physical card option until all accredited platforms are made totally robust?

Could the section beneath London Road bridge in Leicester just not be energised?

At least nobody mentioned cyclists...

458422 was on Tuesday's (16th) BM - B'stoke - BM run.

I must admit that I tend to use lane 2 on the M25 (and keep in it), as so often lane 1 becomes the exit lane for a junction.

Also, as the DVLA remind about car tax, one has to have a valid MOT to get said tax. Anyway, I'm probably digressing... Point is, if there's the will, then folks could be reminded about their railcards.

I gets lots of reminders about my MOT - from RAC, Halfords, etc etc. Also the DVLA reminds me about my car tax. The National Trust reminds me about my membership, home insurance about my, er, home insurance, etc. etc. Is it a deliberate policy NOT to remind those about their railcard?

Unlike the (former) leaders of the Post Office, I wonder if the MDs of TOCs realise that their organisations prosecute their customers for ticketing transgressions?

Definitely keep them. Surely they don't take all that much room up. When I worked as the local studies librarian for a local authority, we kept everything, even though we'd scanned them all. Whilst storing glass negatives in a temperature-controlled environment came at a price, we felt it...

Cheers; thanks as ever. Much appreciated.

Bit of a long shot, but I popped down to Whatley Quarry late Saturday (6th) afternoon. Only three locos visible; 59203, 66503 and 66549. Anyone know their previous working into Whatley, and their subsequent working out, please?

Wonder if Merehead/Whatley aggregate flows are more lucrative than inter-modals?

Would it necessarily be a passenger train?

Whilst the footbridge over the Brighton line near Coulsdon only spans four tracks, they must be some of the busiest.

I wouldn't buy a house near a railway. I wouldn't be able to relax as I'd be out watching the trains...
