Title: Christmas Greetings Post by: rogerw on December 24, 2019, 21:37:43 May I take this opportunity to wish all coffee shop members a happy Christmas and the hope that Santa brings you all you wish for.
Title: Re: Christmas Greetings Post by: johnneyw on December 25, 2019, 00:42:38 I'll echo that. Mince pie and carrot by the fireplace, everyone in the land of nod, aside me. Time to turn in before the bearded one (no, not you Grahame) squeezes down the chimney. Merry Christmas Coffee Shoppers everywhere.

Title: Re: Christmas Greetings Post by: IndustryInsider on December 25, 2019, 18:51:03 There was in fact a massive shortage of crew, but luckily that was masked by the lack of trains for them.
Title: Re: Christmas Greetings Post by: SandTEngineer on December 26, 2019, 11:26:25 Well, its Boxing Day now and its a miserable wet and windy one down here in the far-Southwest. So, when having a browse through some other webistes/forums I frequent, most of them have been discussing the lack of trains here in the UK. Then I came across this post which made my day:
Quote When trains ran in the Uk a retired rail man told me of a call he'd had on Christmas Day saying some horses where en route to Nafferton. He was panicking as there was no straw available for when they arrived. The stationmaster managed to find straw from a local farmer and did his best. When the vans arrived on the pickup goods, they opened the doors and discovered they were rocking horses. :D :DThis page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
