Out of interest, does it have to be flags or can the RA indicators - where available - be used?

I can certainly confirm a train arrived at 08:21 - I saw it as I waited over on Platform 4 for the 08:27.

Not sure what happened to that train on Monday - according to the arrival screens at Swindon it was due to arrive there four minutes after leaving Melksham....

FGW^▸ (First Great Western) have announced the Night Riviera Sleepers will resume on the evening of the 4th April.  Previously they were set to recommence on the 9th April.

I have an electric power assisted bike, so imagine my chagrin when I get overtaken by Sir Bradley Wiggins wannabes!

In the current timetable 22 HSTs^▸ (High Speed Train) call M-F - 10 coming out of Paddington.

There's an electrician for you - always a lamp never a bulb!

He paused during a three course meal to take that one! 

I was also told the logo was reversed because ships past left to left while trains, in general, pass right side to right side - hence making the reversed logo more appropriate for Sealink.

As someone who has left property on a train (and been re-united with it) I don't have a problem paying for my carelessness.

The recent Channel 5 documentary showed the amount of property that has to be dealt with at FGW^▸ (First Great Western)'s Lost property office at Bristol Temple Meads and that comes at a cost.

As for Wightlink not charging for items left on their ferries I suspect the amount of property left on their limited number of ferries is much less in quantity that most bus or train fleets. It might cost more to administer a charging scheme for the amount of property they collect than the money they would take in.

Maybe for two reasons.  Firstly to keep sets up to strength as the conversions take place while in the longer term give additional opportunities to release coaches for maintenance.   It has already been noted on here how many seem to be running, or rather thumping, around with wheelflats.

I hope the new lights illuminating the various tracks around the new depot are LEDs - otherwise someone is going to have a fulltime job replacing them given the number of lights there are! 

Just for the record the train was cancelled and then re-instated in the space of nine minutes, of course how many people saw it in that "cancelled" period we will never know.

However later in the day..

I think it is more to do with Dawlish than conversions.

I have seen one 2+6 in use and also a 2+7 with no Coach E and the Coach F with a mini buffet turned round so the buffet was next to coach D, meaning anyone in First - and the Customer Host with the trolley - had to go through the standard class section of F to reach the buffet.
