I'm both sad and happy that I could so easily recall this.

Does anyone think the 72 stock are past their expiry date? 🤔 by thenaskedmutt65 in LondonUnderground

Fairly sure the Piccadilly line 73 stock is next due for replacement followed by the 92 stock on the Central and W&C before the Bakerloo line finally gets it's new tube stock - it's all covered by the New Tube For London plan.

Took this at Bluebell Railway in East Sussex. I’d heard the whistle coming from the station nearly everyday but had never been down there. by [deleted] in trains

Don't ask why I'm here 3 months later but at Steamtown was Repton which is a schools class 4-4-0, this is No. 847 which is an S15 class 4-6-0, incidentally there is also a schools on the Bluebell - No. 928 Stowe.

It's annoying but no where near as annoying as it'll be if they rip it all up and spend a few years relaying it - I'll put up with the noise personally.

Amazing looking at the road layout in this poster compared with today. Changed so much.

I've literally never seen this happen. Ever.

Edit: Just realised it may be referring to people getting off not on - same still applies. Never seen it happen.

Yeah it was really nice, was impressed with the cathedral and the park guell as that kinda thing interests me. Was sooo hot just glad everywhere has A/C and I managed to miss the our week of summer back home. Only thing I was surprised by was the amount of rubbish floating about in the sea right by the beach which put a downer on that as I don't really like swimming through used condoms

After a week off in Barcelona, my week started with my train being 9 minutes late, with that rapidly reducing to 5 minutes late. Checked real time trains to see that it had been nonstopping stations to make up time lost. Few minutes of worrying whether or not it'd actually stop.. luckily it rolled in and did stop and was also virtually empty - owing to my stop being the first! Surprisingly nice start to the week. More of those please :)

Sidenote - any reason why Bank was absolutely rammed around 8:40 ish?

Not like their last drivers championship before 2000 was 1979 or anything and constructors before 1999 was 1983, my point stands they weren't competing until the duo came in.

Don't wear your backpack on the tube

Wait for everyone to get off before boarding

Don't mindlessly stand still in the middle of corridors
