    LNER - First class offering Thursday 15th

    Is it worth going for the SeatFrog upgrades for Thursday? I don’t know whether it’s worth going for aside from more space with the trains being busy.

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    The acton dive under and the HEX separation from Crossrail and the GWML is definitely something I'd like to see - not something I've been able to find much of on YouTube. I've not done the Willesden diveunder before, so may do that. Jubilee line - not a huge fan but can have a look around some...

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    Definitely interested to hear :) I don’t really know what’s down there unless I see things on YouTube really. I know the gradients I’ve mentioned aren’t anything particularly exciting or interesting but just something different to experience.

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    Indeed :) There’s lots that I’m interested in. Not necessarily the engineering aspect of things but being out and about and experiencing a number of journeys and having fun travelling to new places :) Lewisham and the Sutton gradients were just things I’d noticed on YouTube videos. More than...

    Maybe. I don’t know. It’s the line at 9:16 in this clip.

    Yes. It’s the St John’s avoiding line that I’m looking at doing :)

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    I wouldn’t have the eleven hours though because my train into London wouldn’t arrive until ten/eleven leaving at 0830. Return trip would be 1930ish, so 8hrs or so in London?

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    Above would be my usual plan of attack if I had a hospital appointment. This time I don’t. I’d just be going down to play on trains

    London - day(s) on London trains.

    I’ve got a few weeks left before Manchester Pride and then back to school and teaching full time. I’ve been wanting to travel around London a bit more than I have in the past and see some specific areas of track that have intrigued me. - Crossrail - Steep hill at Lewisham - Hills and point work...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    I wonder if K is where they put all those with Seatfrog upgrades.

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    I had a first class journey on my return leg KGX to YRK on Thursday. The particular carriage I was in had five of us with a number of reservations with no bottoms yet alighting at York I could see that the previous coach (whichever is before K on the London end) was quite full. The staff did a...

    How busy have your trains been?

    0957 York to Kings Cross was rather full. No reservations able to be made since earlier this week.

    London bashing

    Had an interesting day around and about London. Set off first to Kennington to sample the extended Northern line to Battersea Power Station. Very well done at Nine Elms and the moving colour wall at Battersea helps to bring it to life. Was a good ride out but extremely noisy. Be interesting to...

    London tomorrow - trains to play on?

    I’m down in London tomorrow for the marathon on Sunday. Thinking about playing about on the network tomorrow. Planning on: Northern line extension, 710/720 with LO and GA. Any other ideas? I’ve never done a 450 or service out of Waterloo and wouldn’t mind a quick jaunt. I’d like to try a 745...
