    Weird train-related dreams

    I was on my village (Bentley) high street with a few people I know, they were going for the train into Doncaster and I decided to go to the station with them, with the intention of going to Hull, knowing I had plenty of time to get a ticket before the 08:45 service arrived, and that I'd have...

    Sitting with a person when a train is empty

    Had something like this at Meadowhall years ago, it was a quiet mid-week morning but I parked at the far end of the car park (any further and I'd nearly have been in Rotherham!) more or less at the opposite end to the shops and the few other cars there at the time. Came back an hour later and...

    Weird train-related dreams

    I was catching the Sleeper service from Newcastle to Penzance, obviously odd as this doesn't exist. The other odd thing was that it was a converted Voyager, sadly I can't remember if they'd sorted the smell when converting it ...

    Trivia: Odd or Bizarre moments in the rail industry

    Or, sometime around 2019: TPE advertising the need for bike reservations on Cleethorpes-Manchester services for the new trains they were introducing. None of which - at the time - were planned to be used on Cleethorpes-Manchester services. The less said about the year or so of training drivers...

    New platform between P6 and P8 at Sheffield?

    Wrong end, the new one would be where the bike stands are, I guess

    Weird train-related dreams

    I was driving into Andover, over the railway crossings (3 lines), not quite in the centre. I was looking for a water treatment plant linked to a number of paranormal sightings (UFO's, Ghosts) that was just on that edge of town. I turned left after the crossing, there was some sort of building...

    08/11/23 East Coast Landslip between Darlington and Newcastle.

    Came back from Edinburgh today, saw a few trains still being slightly late (10-20 mins) but I dropped on with a service that only had to slow right down rather than wait for other trains to pass. Got caught up in the signalling failure on Sunday, noticed then as my train went through the...

    Weird train-related dreams

    I was somewhere in the Retford area, in a waiting room on the station which didn't really look like a waiting room at Retford (or any station off the top of my head, more like a cafe with the chairs shoved to the side of the room. But Retford didn't look like Retford either ... ). There were a...

    TPE Class 185s to be refreshed

    Agreed, but glad you didn't mention their ability to arrive/depart on time :D Nice unit, good ride, glad the seat covers are being changed as part of this, although the ability to see some of the more questionable stains might be a useful thing :|

    Oldest item in your food cupboard

    Pepper, from Aldi, from earlier this year - June/July time, the previous one of around the same size (with the built in grinder) lasted maybe 4 years ... - but then I don't usually keep much in, to the point where everything else was bought within the last 10 days. Had a build up of frozen...

    “Better than average” Wetherspoons

    The Standing Order in Edinburgh used to be good (used it up until 2018), but so busy I'd refer to it as The Standing Room Only; several rooms, table count well into 3 figures, regular changing local cask ales, surprisingly swift service despite all that

    Northern CIS: uncared for?

    Noticed it a bit recently, was at Bentley station the other week and the display wasn't working, and hadn't been for several days. The recent pronunciation changes seemed to go a bit weird; they're not shouting WAKEFIELD WESTGATE now, but South Elmsall was being pronounced South Elms-hall for a...
