Why take the drivers eyes off the track anyway? I cannot think of anything more reliable than a mature sensible guy(or gal) at the front. You could but everything in a massive tunnel glass tunnel. This would protect the railway from everything except train and track failures. Might be a bit hot in s...

Or the sun goes in.

We love to over rate ourselfs as been a target for terrorisum. I think it gives some people a buzz to consider the non existant risk. Why anyone would want to bomb fratton I dont know its stupid! Also why are there no bins on a MML turbostar center coach? Or am I just no looking hard enough because ...

i would be more than happy for the whole 153 fleet to be removed from service. Why not couple them up into their original 155 two-car formation instead? CT were trying to do that, to run 153s in twos but I dont know if its ever happened. Mind you I havent seen and single 153s for a while they are n...

Do any of you professional train drivers ever play MSTS too much, and get used to its easy braking and find yourselves over-shooting stations at work? :) Id be way to over confident if I drove a train id approach stations and take junctions at 50. I read an article somewhere saying how many railway...

I think we should put in a joint bid for the ECML

£2m! Can I ask where you aquired that from?

p/s do you have a 2nd home in Columbia?

I doubt they would be allowed to on our over safe railway. it would cost NE way too much in the crash worthyness testing IMO. Maybe putting windows in it wouldnt effect it much I honestly dont know.

And FGW doesnt know what livery they want. Theyve had FOUR!

Wernt Voyagers supposed to be 8 and 9 car anyway? but someone (SRA?) said they had to be cut down to 4 and 5? I dont think so, when I first heard about Voyagers (all those years back) I thought it was going to be two units coupled togeather then split at places like Birmingham and one went forward ...

153s are class!!!!!!!

yeah on the odd ocasion admitidly not regulary but once is enough!

Is this a joke question? They were designed for completey different things, and even though my stomach churns when I see a Voyager Id rather sit on a voyager to cardiff than a 153.

It all went down the pan. The HSE are obsessed with making everything over safe and the cost of rebuilding is about ten times what it should be.

Theres always alot of train spotters on Doncaster so that must be a good place, but its more than 75miles but its worth a trip out on GNER.

NICE

Looks pretty good but im sorry if they think im paying 17euros for it they have got another thing comming.
