First have officially started running rail services in Scotland.

Personally i think it is an excellent idea. I agree with southcoasttrains, i am surprised Southern havent come out with anything (that i know of). There are quite a lot of trees by the line, especially around my local area, like the Selhurst area, by wandsworth common, purley... To name some.

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 ...

Around our local area, there used to be bus surfing. Concerning train surfing and trespassing, croydon council (and probably many other councils) has taken action.

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,...
