I was surprised to read that speed limits do not apply to cyclists. I always thought that they applied to all road users

i have voted for either, although my  attendance will depend on my being in the country at the time

nice to see that Red Squirrel is getting his own coin. I'm jealous

I can also make 25th October

The "unadvertised express" is a fully booked charter using the preserved Hastings unit

Just a reminder that this is 12 days away (17 August)

I think you mean Fareham and not Wareham

I travelled on those several times in my younger days, including the link from Pen Mill when town station closed. I particularly remember the railbus bouncing over every rail joint.

You can't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

I have added myself today

11:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 14:52 was diverted between Bath Spa and Trowbridge and will be terminated at Fratton.
It will no longer call at Bradford-On-Avon, Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour but will call additionally at Chippenham and Melksham.
It has been previously delayed and is now 41 minutes late from Westbury.
This is due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge.

It performed well on the day giving those on board a nice ride, punctual arrivals at all points. I enjoyed it. A good test as the load was 13 plus a (dead) class 57.

I changed an advance ticket with GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) yesterday - senior moment. booked wrong date. A simple process and a reasonable charge. It helped that I had booked on line so could access the original booking.

I will be on a Danube cruise - Vienna to Budapest
