NXEA! Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Would second the LNER E4 suggestion, or a J69 please. What’s most likely? Probably an announcement of a re-tooled 50 as suggested up thread, and they’re announcing now as AS’s has broken cover. Looking forward to finding out! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Express sold out of their usable London to Birmingham services days back and the X1 from Brum to NEC to Coventry will, I Imagine, be packed like sardines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even have Bogs. There could even be a 'Hitch a Lift Please' Thread, where people talk to each other electronically and arrange shared Transport; that would be a thing wouldn't it? Never done that in the old days did us boys and gals, eh? H.I. Sterical. Depends on the location of one's abode dear Ducky. It would take me two bus rides - which don't make proper connections with each other - yo get to somewhere where I could board a 'bus to Brum at which place I would needto get to a railway station in order to catch a train to the NEC. Setting out on Saturday morning I'd priably get there in time for the last half hour or so of the show that day. Sunday morning I have, remarkably considering that I live at the end of a branch line, an hourly train service giving a 2h 07 min journey time with two intermediate changes of train.

One would hope not, given what happened to Berliner-Bahnen when they tried it. Except for the word "experience", I'd have thought that it would be something to do with TT:120 or Flying Scotsman, or both… I think it's either the loyalty scheme, or the return of live steam, or — more likely — something to do with virtual reality; SK was seen looking at it in the last Hornby: A Model World series … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I have heard that for the "something special, they have hired Yennifer of Vengerberg to fill the entire hall with a bona weed type smoke. Under her magic charm, all visitors and other exhibiters will be briefly zombified and start walking to the Hornby stand at a slow pace with their arms out stretched saying in haunting way the words "TT..... TT..... TT....". Each will then buy a TT train set, join the TT club and hobbies rewards before making their way back out of the show going home. The mass conversion will then be complete as they destroy their existing OO, N, O whatever layout and stock and start again. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even have Bogs. Checked those out, there's only one that would get me there before Saturday afternoon. It leaves our nearest coach station at 23.50 on Friday night and drops me off in Birmingham some time after 3am. The return trip is similar, dropping me off about 20 miles from home with the first available connection enabling me to get home around 8.45am on Sunday. Normal train journey time home station to Birmingham International is sub 3 hours, in fact I think the fastest connection is 2 hours 25 minutes. In good old BR days I could commute to our office in central Birmingham in two hours door to door, having breakfast on the train and reading up on the work for the day ahead at the same time. Meeting minutes and briefing notes for office circulation were prepared on the train home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
