616	All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: BITE card - discount card for use at railway station outlets	on: May 12, 2012, 21:30:21
Was reading this thinking it's been 2-3 weeks since I registered for my new card, and what should be on the mat when the postman came this morning?

617	All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture - related rail and other transport issues / Re: O Level German required for some UK rail jobs in future?	on: November 12, 2011, 10:47:37
Why not hire a translator, then issue an English version?

618	All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Buy at the station, or upgrade onboard?	on: October 09, 2011, 20:47:15
For Weekend First I've always been told to upgrade on board.

Damn someone got there already

620	Journey by Journey / Plymouth and Cornwall / Re: Plymouth Station - refurbishment, improvements, timetable changes, events and incidents (merged topic)	on: August 13, 2011, 22:32:33
Pretty much the same as what any redevelopment of a 'public' area does - nothing. Mind you, there's been no press release or info on what they're doing at PLY^» (Plymouth - next trains) at the moment anywhere

621	Journey by Journey / Plymouth and Cornwall / Fire Extinguisher thrown from train	on: July 03, 2011, 15:11:31
Unfortunately the paper's online version is beyond a paywall, but today's Plymouth Sunday Independent ran a front page story about a fire extinguisher thrown from a train, smashing a HST^▸ (High Speed Train) cab window. (http://subscriber.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/subscribe.aspx?source=4&eid=4df9e1c4-e0a2-4841-bd50-24456da298fc you can see a thumbnail of the story here) Edit: full story http://www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/Probe-extinguisher-thrown-train-window-Reckless/story-12861445-detail/story.html

622	Journey by Journey / Plymouth and Cornwall / Re: FGW sleeper questions	on: July 02, 2011, 10:47:57
What about the use of showers at Paddington - how do you gain access, are they free to use?

623	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: Favourite train related song?	on: May 21, 2011, 23:47:13
The day we caught the Train!

Going to Weston-super-MARE?

626	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: Station Name Quiz	on: May 16, 2011, 21:02:27
31/52 would have been 32 if it accepted one without and 's'

627	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: "I'm leaving the West" photo quiz	on: March 27, 2011, 20:24:35
Quote from: Brucey on March 23, 2011, 07:46:39 So we are left with just number 26. Casualty is the clue and is referred to in a recent post by myself. Confusing with the TV series in which case Lawrence Hill would have been the answer

Is 35 some sort of stench pipe for the sewers or underground river?
