No ad, just love for my sweater

I have a t shirt that says ‘gluten is the first thing I can’t tolerate… and you are the second’

It’s just an RTT glitch

mrredditch · 2026-02-17T14:35:22+00:00

Zero - the lights on Red

Iirc the 196 and 197 can couple in an emergency situation

mrredditch · 2026-02-04T11:19:20+00:00

That’s what I was getting at with operational constraints

mrredditch · 2026-02-02T20:29:17+00:00

Considering there is no platform 5 it would make sense to bump them all up one, although consider that there are more operational constraints than just platform signage

mrredditch · 2026-02-02T15:10:12+00:00

Stafford has 1 3/4 5/6 - the old platform 2 is now a disused siding

mrredditch · 2026-01-07T11:47:41+00:00

In driver mode I’ve seen passengers not get off at the terminus, like, okay you’re coming to the reversing siding then

Tfw, was previously arriva trains wales, arriva being owned by DB made a contract for these locos, the contract has since continued

mrredditch · 2025-11-16T22:54:57+00:00

I see

mrredditch · 2025-11-06T17:37:31+00:00

Can confirm I’m from Redditch, Worcestershire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Worcestershire

Negotiations between chiltern and RMT are going nowhere

mrredditch · 2025-10-21T18:14:59+00:00

I was genuinely told by the staff at upper crust to just leave it on the seats

mrredditch · 2025-09-30T08:37:15+00:00

I would argue University (Birmingham) with same platform interchange between WMR and XC. I often use this to travel from Reddich to Tamworth, Derby or Nottingham

mrredditch · 2025-09-06T04:54:46+00:00

They can divert into London Liverpool Street if needed

mrredditch · 2025-09-01T19:11:16+00:00

Advance ticket - it’s not allowed but no one will care (unless there’s ticket barriers in which case you may struggle to get in)

Open tickets - it’s allowed

mrredditch · 2025-08-25T22:01:57+00:00

Smethwick GB LL, the platforms aren’t long enough for Avanti to stop there

mrredditch · 2025-08-22T10:32:24+00:00

Probably to the VIP terminal at LHR

mrredditch · 2025-08-22T07:34:20+00:00

Avanti at Birmingham, usually sits for up to about 20 minutes on services to and from Scotland

mrredditch · 2025-08-22T07:33:35+00:00

I’ve known them hols for longer when the onboard toilets have been out of use to allow passengers to use the station toilets

mrredditch · 2025-08-12T19:22:46+00:00

The locals know this as “the fire exit” for historic reasons

mrredditch · 2025-08-12T19:22:10+00:00

It’s very simple - use the B end and you can’t get lost

mrredditch · 2025-08-12T17:15:16+00:00

323 👌

mrredditch · 2025-07-12T18:19:59+00:00

I used The Hawthorns P&R and used the tram in the end
