Confused with HST and 225 from WSML ECML

loonies125 — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:52:49 GMT

As much as this is a stupid question when I'm driving the HST and 225's that I got with the east coast route and west coast route, theykeep on slowing down and then speeding up again, like the emergency brakes are applies, all the gauges change for e.g the brake pipe/pressure (i think) changes and then slowly creeps back to where it was and once its done that everyhting is back to normal. Does anyone know what the hell is going on and is there any way to stop it/avoid it???

A short trip...

Station Name Game

Yownanymous — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:13:26 GMT

I got this from BVE Routes and Trains: Basically I name a station, and the next station posted has to begin with the last letter of the previous station. Forgot to mention, a station cannot be the same as the one previous to it.

So let me start: Inverness. The next station must begin with "S".

Safe places for spotting and photography?

Daisy Dart — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 11:04:41 GMT

Over the last few years both rail and bus enthusiasts have come under fire from over zealous security bods at stations. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem at railway stations when they have been photographing trains? I must admit I've only experienced it when I've been out taking pics of buses in bus stations.

I find places like York and Doncaster you don't get bothered at all, and you can access the platforms without a ticket. Never tried it at Leeds, my nearest station. ...
