Seen their new site on the, i have noticed that the picture of a lady on a train with ear phones is sitting on a seat like that on an Adelante or a 175. And also those sitting and eating around a table too. Anyone traveled on First Sco...

In late august a 423 coupled to a 421 took me from victoria to eastbourne. an back. The journey was great, except for a flooded and dirty toilet. I saw only a few electrostars, mainly in the London to Gatwick part. It will be sad to see them go, and i will miss those trains running by my home. Even ...

I sort of like the 455. I have grown up with them, and a refurbishment will really help. I quite like southerns refurb and pictures of the inside show that SWT are approaching this well too. But it looks like only time will tell. The 455s at the moment are probably one of the worst trains in the cou...

I remember being in south Norwood and seeing a double deck bus that had ploughed into a rail bridge, with passengers on the top deck. The roof of the top deck had been sliced off. With the bridge centimetres above the tops of seats. Luckily, the bus wasnt too busy. The bus is supposed to turn off, r...

on local buses down here (arriva london south) one route which goes from croydon to brixton, has a TV which works all the time, upstairs and downstairs. The buses get seriously vandalised, litter everywhere and tags on the back of the seats, but the TV seems to be fine. And the TV shows news, sport,...
