Would anyone have any empty binders for Rail and Steam Railway I could buy, please? I am looking for at least five of each - I have a quantity of magazines building up awaiting binding, but it transpires that the company which supplied them is no longer trading. These binders are, of course...

Time to get the new thread ready so that it is ex-works on Monday in anticipation of people collecting many new numbers in the new year. We should hopefully get the first 93s appearing here...? Or at least 93 001 anyway... surely it must emerge from hibernation soon? Who will be the first to...

Time to get the new thread ready so that it is ex-works on Monday in anticipation of people collecting many new haulages in the new year. Will anyone other staff be adding 701s to it this time? We will see!! Failing that, there should at least be the final two 710s and a couple of dozen 720s...

Well, here we go again, another year... let's get out there and get any unbashed track marked off in our atlases! This thread is laid and fettled ready to be used at linespeed from Monday.

My recent question on one of the quiz threads has generated some interest; see the quotes and image below. The technique certainly works - I have seen very little sign of any vandalism on board any of the many Z50000 units which I have had for haulage, nor have I seen or heard any shouting or...

I have to make some activity on my Avios account asap or I will lose my entire accumulation... I am therefore looking at a quick spin from Heathrow to Edinburgh and back and allowing time for a bit of tram bashing, including getting the new extension in. Looking at the BA timetable, this is...

We have a bit of a puzzle here... my daughter has made a booking for a trip to the USA which includes a couple of domestic flights. One of them is showing is AA1838 from Chicago to Eppley. However, AA1838, when you Google it, comes up as Pittsburgh to Phoenix. Yet when you search Chicago to...

Would anyone know where there are accurate up to date lists of the Metro and trams fleets please? My lists are ridiculously out of date and I'm hoping to get back over this summer after all that disruption from the "minor virus incident"... with so much stuff having moved lines on the Metro and...

Since last year's abolition of the wider area day ranger type ticket, please could someone advise me on which is the best ticket to get now if I were to spend two days in Glasgow and wanted to collect haulages? My plan would be to arrive on the Sleeper, spend one night in a hotel then get the...

I find myself with a very tight dash to get one of my photographic targets today; 12 minutes from Northgate to Castle. Is there anywhere closer to Northgate that gives me a vantage point of the line through Castle? Failing that, is the flat crossing close enough to Northgate that I could just...

Well, here we go again, another year... let's get out there and get any unbashed track marked off in our atlases! This thread is laid and fettled ready to be used at linespeed from tomorrow.

Having checked with Andy Pacer to make sure we don't duplicate anything... here's the new sightings thread for 2023...

I have been asked if it is possible to do a day trip from Haddenham and Thame Parkway to Cardiff incorporating a ride on one of the TfW class 67 hauled Mk4 rakes between Cardiff and Shewsbury, ideally as a circular trip rather than a straight out and back. Is that possible, or would it require...

DDE 20294 got written off at 07.05 this morning southbound on the A240 at the Queen Adelaide. The white car you see on the side was also involved... appears to have hit the blue car and pushed that into the back of the bus...

Does anyone know if there is a canals and rivers atlas similar to the Baker rail atlas please? I'm interested in an actual atlas style book that would show the towpaths and river paths including on which side they are as well as the more obvious features like bridges and locks. Looking on...

I am asking this on behalf of my parents who are going to Windermere right in the middle of the Avanti emergency timetable period. They already have "any permitted" tickets but no reservations; in the event of their being unable to get a reservation on Avanti ( because there will be so few...

The 10.18 from Liverpool Street to Clacton has hit four cows and derailed one axle roughly three miles short of Clacton. Nobody on board is hurt, but obviously the Clacton line will be out of action for the rest of the day. It's 720 528 leading 720 573, before anyone asks. I'm in the front...

We don't seem to have an equivalent thread in here to match the railways ones, despite this being a heavily used part of the forum. May I present to you this clip of a short helicopter ride around Portsmouth back in 2007?

I believe this is the first TOC to do so? LNER has announced it will resume the full, normal, timetable in just over three weeks from now. https://twitter.com/DavidHorne/status/1484512039699636226?s=20

Well, here we go again, another year... Hopefully this year we aren't going to have any loss of opportunity to get out there and get any unbashed track marked off in your atlases! Meanwhile, this thread is being laid and fettled ready to be used at linespeed from tomorrow.
