    Glasgow Subway new stock

    Here is a picture of the subway test track today. There are about 7 old subway cars there at the moment. https://www.flickr.com/photos/amaccaluim/53597912584/in/datetaken-public/

    Glasgow Subway new stock

    I see that some of the old trains have come out of the tunnels and gone to the test track depot in Ibrox. https://www.flickr.com/photos/amaccaluim/53595663805/in/datetaken-public/

    It was around midday. There were at least 2 of the new trains on the outer circle at the time.

    I was lucky enough to get a go on one of the new Glasgow subway trains today. Very nice! https://www.flickr.com/photos/amaccaluim/53406789742/in/datetaken-public/?fbclid=IwAR3pS5zDNoa9KFqeCo7PHrxznCnSy-vsg_UbcAi1vll3WFlw1LfbaRaTvq8

    Is there going to be a 16th Rail Atlas?

    I didn't realise that Stuart Baker had passed away. Very sad. His atlas has given so many people so much pleasure over the years but I'm glad it's in good hands for the future! Quick question - and apologies if this is the wrong place to post it - but does anybody know if there is decent atlas...

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    Fab tips, thanks! The day before I'm planning to try out Mail Rail - and the day before that I'm planning to go to Southend and go on the pier railway - if it's open in December!! Good idea as regards Stratford International. I've been to St Pancras and Kings Cross and Paddington and a few of...

    Thanks! I'll go to Wanstead Park. I'm not going to count Stratford as a terminus for this, I don't think.

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    Hi all, I've rejigged my itinerary! How does this look now?? Thanks everybody for your excellent and friendly advice - you are total legends! It should all be inside the London rail map now too and be a bit easier. I've added a wee trip out and back to the Paddington terminus now so I hit the...

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    I'm not going to go on the W&C as part of my "termini crawl" but I totally love the drain and I'm going to visit the day before!

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    Yes - it's a lengthy rail detour to save a 5 minute walk! I'll cut it out if I'm running low on time. I've never been on the Abbey Flyer before though so this would be an excuse to do that.

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    I've recast the trip a little to include a trip to Waterloo proper as well as Waterloo East. I'm just hoping I have enough time to do it all in one day! That's a lot of train trips!

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    Hmmm- good question! I'll have to check. I chopped and changed the itinerary a bit and might well have missed something as I meant to have each train change in.

    Visiting all 14 London termini by national rail in a day??

    Thanks! I'm planning to use it to go between Paddington and Liverpool street - I've not been to London since the Elizabeth Line opened so I can't wait to try it. I'm going to try the Barking Riverside extension the day before too.
