@HuntColin58 @AntCoulls In Birmingham you put rubbish bags everywhere!!!

@SW_Help Lego land because they’ve spent most of their lives in pieces and there’s always one bit left over that doesn’t fit anywhere.

@nowtonew @CrecyRail Yes. The point work was altered to shift it onto the viaduct thereby allowing the speed restriction to be raised giving a better run through the station as the gradient changed beginning the climb up to the summit at Combe Down Tunnel.

Does anyone know what caused the big delay to the Bath Christmas Market Express on 09/12/2025? The return leg 1Z72 (Bath Spa → London Victoria) scheduled 17:56 but didn’t depart until 20:05. RTT shows it started/pathed as diesel.
Any info from passengers/enthusiasts welcome.

@SW_Help Don’t work now?

@PaulCliftonBBC @NetworkRailWssx @SW_Help Why don’t you concentrate on trying to report news as is, rather than presenting it in a biased and self opinionated style? I rarely have to use both unprofessional and odious the same sentence. But I will.

@JoanneMCrompton With the correct discs up too!!

[Kevin Potts @Fireman71B]

@SurePetcare Are there any server issues at the moment. I cannot get the app to operate my catflap connect despite all indications showing correctly.

@WarksCyclist Same as the distance cyclists accept when they race down the near side of a line of traffic.

[Kevin Potts @Fireman71B]

@PompeyDriver Last time they weren’t so lucky either!

@AntCoulls @railwaytouring Ha! I was in the other Platform!! Should’ve said hello!!

[Kevin Potts @Fireman71B]

@AntCoulls It’s more lack of storage space at home that’s becoming dangerous!!!

[Kevin Potts @Fireman71B]

@AntCoulls Thanks. I’d forgotten that was there!!

@mark_townend I read his book as a youngster. Made a profound impression. My sympathies.
