Now there's a subtle nuance - do you mean to say that there are two platforms at Bodmin Parkway but that the third is at Bodmin Road?

Bit of a shame they went with the obvious and used that clicheed old shot of Hertford College for Oxford station. I'd much rather have a picture of Ahmed's kebab van instead.

I have noticed that Live Departures Board has changed.   Instead of all trains listed in order Departures and Arrivals have to be requested separately.

Yes Phile I have noticed that too.. I'm back to NR» (Network Rail - home page) departures board now as FGW▸ (First Great Western) new one appears to be from the same source but not as good.. It's a shame though as sometimes it's useful to have departures and arrivals in one place.... aah well.. it's progress... (I think  Roll Eyes)

I can adapt to anything, except change. The whole Marathon / Snickers thing was a trauma, but I can cope with the new GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) website.

They became Pacers. Loved 'em. Grandma used to buy them for me from the sweet counter in Debenhams.

No. Nothing to do with Class 14x DMUs▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit).  Tongue Wink Grin

Strewth, my parents had a shop until 1970. They bought a promotional pack of Opal Mints in 1969, and I don't think they've all gone yet. Opal fruits, or Starburst, are like what we used to call British Rail Western Region. Not a bad idea, but unlikely to survive without support from a similar brand.
