Do I understand correctly that a Mr Cameron made use of the down sleeper last night?
No doubt it ran like clockwork otherwise we would have heard about it.
It had two locos last night. He didn't look very refreshed in some pictures of him exiting the train this morning, |

At least he travels by train, a certain Conservative predecessor of his was very averse to using them.  |

Orange-clad man with spanner: "Quick, lads, duck down - I think Palfers has spotted us - we'll be mentioned on the Coffee Shop forum next!"  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Does anyone know if they are going to use the sleeper seats during the day on Saturdays through the Sumer or is that not happening this summer? Or is the risk of problems to much?

Yes, by all reports. |

A delay for the up sleeper overnight. Apparently problems with the connection between the loco and the leading coach. The whole train turned on the Laira triangle at Plymouth and the loco attached to the other end. Left Plymouth over an hour and a half late but made it all up by Paddington.

Ah, the wonders of including " padding ton" in the timetable ...   |

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you, ellendune - I merely find it amusing that some trains can start so late, but still arrive 'on time'.  |

Having been on a sleeper that has made up time, it was a very bumpy ride and I didn't sleep well, so it's probably not ideal

Ah, the quintessential dichotomy: would you prefer to arrive on time, or get a good night's sleep? |
