    Northern re-records 34 station name announcements with local pronunciation

    Was on a 333 with a bit of an issue yesterday, all stations on DON-LDS had an additional "the" in front of their names on arriving; The South Elmsall, The Fitzwilliam, etc ... the most disappointing Glastonbury line-up ever! :D

    The jump from class 423s to 465s and later 707s?

    Was having a look at the accident report https://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/documents/HSE_Cannon1991.pdf Mentions the slam doors, but also that the structural strength of the Southern design was worse than the British Rail design (I'm assuming Mk1's are included in this) as a separate point...

    Oh, that is a great album, one that's been reduced - in a pub I go in quite often - to repeat playings of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" on one of those "Now that's what I call music" channels, probably one of the weakest tracks on there (Opinion Alarm!). My personal fave of theirs was High & Dry...

    Hull trains becoming more like Lumo?

    I found last week that my cheapo Carrera lump of folding metal will fit nicely in front of the folding seats near the doors of a 195/331, had to find this out as the bike section of the 195 I got was filled with a couple of unfolded prams :s
