Slaithwaite cropped up on my news feed the other day for having a cone-impersonating ticket vending machine. https://www.facebook.com/groups/northern.ruining.peoples.lives/permalink/1113234275550174/ Title: Re: Longer trains to Waterloo ??

I wonder if it's something to do with SWR not opening / using the door directly behind the driver on their 158/159 trains, whereas GWR use all the doors? Title: Re: Longer trains to Waterloo ?? Post by: Clan Line on October 02, 2018, 18:58:14 You will be glad to know that even newer signs have now appeared on both platforms at Warminster - both now just proclaim "5 car stop". It appears that someone has money to waste ! Shame they couldn't waste it on those awful 165/6s that we have been condemned to suffer for the next umpteen years.
