I agree with DaveF with his views on river cruises. All the time moored up is connected with visits to towns with a walking tour in the morning which is "free" and the optional expensive excursions in the afternoon . We went with Viking and can`t fault their attention to detail and general high standards but it does seem that you are on the go all the time

The original liveried photos on the older buses certainly bring back memories for me, as I either saw them or travelled on them. The ex Oxford Regent V must have been sold to Provincial and I certainly remember travelling on that one to school when I lived in Oxford. Keep them coming.

A friend of mine sells display cases, and often he sells very few on the day of any show he attends, BUT over the next few weeks he gets a lot of orders from people who went to the show and measured up when they got home. So sales on the day might be slow the results of attending the show are felt for a period after,

Temple Mills and Stratford are NORTH of the Thames so therefore they would not be able to provide any trains to Ebbsfleet as that is SOUTH of the river and the affected tunnel

How would they get the stock to Ebbsfleet/Ashford? You would have to rely on incoming trains and the service would be halved at best

What are half terms for ????

Try Z gauge

"That reminds me.....time to dump the credit card for another one that'll send monthly statements thru' the post; the current one has just swapped to on-line only...despite promises otherwise. They've had their chance." Know how you feel Bear, email saying we had missed a payment, checked on line and yes we had. Paid it but then did some checking we hadn`t received a statement. The next day I phoned them and queried why we had not had a statement [ allowing for the poor RM deliveries] The very helpful call center operator said that we had opted in for on line statements. OH no we haven`t says I OH he say`s and a few clicks later we are back on paper statements. Also I got all the interest for the "late payment" refunded. Like Bear says one more c++k up and they are out.

I thought it was law that you had the right to see the photographic evidence. A mate of mine did when his car was alleged to have been have been in the London Congestion zone when it was sat on his drive. The car had cloned plates if I remember correctly.

Surely the answer is to go back to basics and decide whether or not they are retail company or manufacturer . They can`t be both. Bachmann although they have a shop in Barwell/Hinkley do not sell directly to the public as a rule. Hornby ought to take a long hard look at them selves and realize that continual retooling does not work, and people want new models, not just reissues. A certain persons " retirement" has probably helped but it needs somebody with a knowledge of the the hobby, and not one who is figures orientated .

They closed our local branch in Kingswood Bristol earlier this year

Remember that in any club there are 1 The Doers 2 The canters and 3 The wont`ers, Guess which ones moan the most.

After two of the Grammar Schools in Oxford merged we had two dining halls. One served what can only be described as " traditional " school diners and the other was to a good standard. We alternated between the two every other term.

After 7 hours in A&E last night going there for an examination as a result of an infection not responding to antibiotics, The result being tests at the urology center. GET IT DONE It could be a bad infection BUT at least my infection was found and the wheels set in motion

I already have London Bridge , any chance of Westminster ?????

A lot of Rails prices seem to be pick a figure out of the air, and their descriptions are vague at best.

One from Cardiff on Thursday 6C83 1130 Cwmbargoed Opencast Colly. to Margam T.C. at Queen Street

Two from Friday 4th August at Eastliegh

Just found this on the web Strike action scheduled for Avanti West Coast services on Sunday 2nd July 2023 has been cancelled. As a result, Avanti West Coast will run their planned timetable on this date. on the https://www.thetrainline.com/trains/great-britain/industrial-action site

Ritzer`s did relocate a few years ago, but from what I have heard they do not do as much railway as they used to . There are two other shops in Nurembrg Eisenbahn Dorfler Färberstraße 34/36, 90402 Nürnberg, Germany and Inh. G. Keller Helmut Sigmund Modellbahnen Schweiggerstraße 5, 90478 Nürnberg, Germany. The second shop is very cramped and not very well laid out but may have older stock available. Dorflers is a very good shop with both new and second hand.

Now postponed to Sat 24th June

Why Spoil all the fun ??

I went last year and really enjoyed it. The chance to see both the live narrow gauge steam and the layouts certainly made it a different experience, and all at a reasonable cost. Couldn`t make this year but will keep an eye open for future events.
