OpenTrainTimes is great for maps, but a lot of headcodes (freight and passenger) appear to be unclickable and won't bring up running information. The very few freight headcodes that are able to be clicked just bring up some random passenger train.

To help you out a bit...if you are spotting triple set FWA eco-fret wagons the two outer platforms always start 704520 and the middle platform always start 704521, so you only need to look for the last 4 numbers.

I believe there is building site work going on that has affected the railway line.

While the route via Primrose Hill is shut I'd say one of the stations between Gospel Oak and Kensal Rise as you should see the same trains you would see at Stratford as well as the GOBLIN line and diverted traffic. However I don't know what the stations are actually like to be on re staff and...

Lol, you're one to talk!:)

Very nice write up. Been to those places a few times so know just how impressive it all is. One thing I have found though is that when your in the states, you can get so close without any hassle, the scenery is beautiful and the long trains with many locos are such a sight that when you get...

Presumably its the key that activates the drivers cab desk when inserted. Bit confused why a driver would throw one to any Tom, Dick and Harry though!:|

I agree to an extent. It depends where the original spotters were on the platform. If they were 40ft from the platform ramp then it should be expected that others would fill the gap....particularly if its a "special" people are wating for. Why should other spotters have to sit behind them just...

It's sad when members of our own community see things like that.

Sundays are not the best (or even close) day to spot freight. Anything that does run is usually ad-hoc/run as required. May see some engineering trains but these can run wildly out of path. As for the best place, sorry I don't know.

Thats rich:roll:

By prior I ment had he received instructions from someone else (such as a line manager) to specifically not declassify 1st class in this instance? I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion tbh.

Hold on a minute, have we even established if the guard acted incorrectly according to applicable rules and regs that guards work to rather than Yorkies opinion on the matter?? Do we know if said guard was working to prior instructions? Has it yet been established how many people were...

Why did you think it was relevent to include his name in your original post? Why couldn't you have simply refered to him as "the guard..."?

Given that the exact service details have been provided, one would not need a second name (or first name for that matter) to ID the person. As Ralph says, there is no real reason to name names, particularly on an internet forum. If Yorkie (or anyone else) has a problem with a member of...

Im not sure about breaking your heart but it certainly cripples your social life.

Its in my blood. Both my parents worked on the railway (my dad still does) and its an area I have just grown up aound. My dad used to take me too work every now and then when I was two or three and Ive even heard he used to take me to the odd incident hearing. --- old post above --- --- new...
