Just looking through FB, and the UK Railways have a tonne of problems, 

TFW Overcrowding 
XC not enough trains/overcrowding 
EMR Norwich to Liverpool overcrowding
GC 180's reliability
Replacement for TPE Class 69
Northern's 156/153 replacements (apparently Northern want 185 for that)
Avanti as a whole 
Appauling state of the Class 800 on LNER/GWR (seats, relability etc)

I think the only good train company really is East Anglia 


An absolute dumpster fire

been mention on fb that 1560 73 are transferring to Stockton

what's the SPRR ON THE x3 and it was tracking on the 63 yesterday 

The GNE Santa Bus is returning from the 16th to 23rd.

Any idea how to find the last read post, without having to scroll backwards and forwards?

Anyone know what the crack is with the stars?  Im on 3 but would rather be 5Star

6155 now in full Elite Bus Driver Training Academy advertising:

With this Loop liveried B9 receiving a full wrap, it does make you think the yellow Streetlites about to arrive may indeed be for something else*, as the B9 has shown the vehicle doesn’t need to be in base yellow for Training Academy advertising. 

*Then again they do look to be in the same shade of yellow as the training Omnicity below.

1598 on loan to Stockton currently on the 8 tracking as SPSN

So obviously a few people know about the diversion currently due to Tynemouth Sea Banks Road and Tynemouth Seafront being a 1 way system due to the new cycle path. What annoys me more is the fact Nexus or Go North East or Arriva have not put 1 single notice out whatsoever. The bus stops along the seafront (towards Whitley Bay) say they are closed and to use alternative stops. Same with the other side (towards Newcastle/Metrocentre). The 306 is mental as they use the village (of which they ain't serving) and Percy Park Road but they go down Percy Park Road to Whitley Bay but coming back its a lottery of where your 306 is gonna go. On the other hand the 1 is currently using the Broadway and completely not using Percy Park Road at all towards Metrocentre. This diversion is on until spring next year yet no one has posted about it
