If it is anything like Birmingham New Street, the diesel smell and exhaust does get a bit overwhelming at times...

I think there should be a product description of every community route as when you are on the CD ordering page there is not alot of information on the route, era, stock included and activities Yes I was wondering that as well... maybe people who have the routes could submit reviews either to the UK...

I suppose you could always do the EuropeanBahn trick of having multiple routes all joined together (WCML & ECML as examples) but to create a Rugby to Stafford (??) route via Birmingham and Wolverhampton would be some undertaking as I am sure the original route was. Shame I am so at route building......

Apparently its the poor engineers that find arms and legs in the bushes when they are out working in the case of very high speed collisions :-? My parents live backing onto the WCML in Marston Green (between Birmingham International/New Street). When I was a kid, it was a lovely sunny day so we wer...

Works for me... Not very aerodynamic is it?

Why don't they just put CCTV cameras on all level crossings so they can identify and prosecute the offenders? That is a very good idea, why not? They have traffic cameras for people who run red traffic lights and they have pointless speed cameras dotted around the UK that are no more than cash cows...

Are there no direct trains from Birmingham New Street? I've just looked on National Rail and they are saying you have to change at Derby?

If you like the guy at Birmingham New Street, you've got to listen to the beginning of this video
