Can I just turn up with my Saturday ticket on the Sunday and be let in? I'll need to refer that to @SteveCole and @keeley tansley for guidance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Is there any particular reason why tickets for Alexandra Palace are specific to one day? Those for other shows, such as Model Rail Scotland and Warley, are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyman7 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 RMT signallers strikes have been suspended. Whilst there is no news yet on the TOC strikes, this is likely to mean a much greater capacity to operate services next week. 2 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JamFjord Posted March 8, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) For anyone who's checking in with this thread, but may have missed the announcement on the BRM forum, @Phil Parker has announced the layout project to be given away to someone at the Ally Pally show. Purely in terms of the monetary value of the parts used, it's already a decent prize, and it looks like it has loads of potential even in the current exhibitable state. Laser cut baseboards and the 'Really Useful' brand 77 litre plastic box they fit into, low-relief warehouses from JS Models, and a really nice exhibition-ready pelmet and lid. Plus all the other goodies as seen in the video. As yet, nobody has commented confirming that they have entered. I don't know if anyone has entered, but based on the previous round having fewer than 20 entries, I'm guessing whoever decides to enter this won't have much competition. There's no announcement on World of Railways this time (that I can see anyway), and the YouTube video is unlisted - just the above post on RMweb. Good luck to whoever enters - you'll probably have a good chance of winning. Edited March 8, 2023 by JamFjord 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2023 The proposed schedule for Saturday should be known and input into National Rail Enquiries database sometime tomorrow all being well. Got my fingers crossed that some common sense will be used and a reasonable network wide service will be run but unfortunately I fear the simple 'can't be bothered - just cancel everything' attitude may still prevail... 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I had hoped to be there on Saturday by train and was expecting to be a no-show but I now appear to be helping with a layout all weekend.....injury substitution.....going up on Friday...

D9502 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 With a week to go to the exhibition here's a couple of photos of New Sodbury from the Thornbury and South Gloucestershire MRC. If the modern scene is your thing please come by and say hello. Its properly signalled with by-directional working (that should keep us on our toes..).

National Rail are showing tickets available for the hourly L&NWR Euston - Crewe service. The underground is operating so that's okay for Euston to Wood Green. Then walk/catch the free bus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) According to the National Rail TT enquiry site the service they are showing is now correct for 18 Match. On GWR there are trains on most routes from/to Paddington but at reduced frequencies - for example Didcot - Paddington stoppers/semi-fasts are running hourly (last train from Paddintgton 17.27) and with what looks like more station calls east of Slough than usual (roll on the new timetable please). Services are also running on the Thames Valley branches. Crossrail, for those who have no other choice, is running half hourly interval to/from Reading from 06.00; last train from Paddington 22.38 When I last checked it looks as if KX - Ally pally is running as well - half hourly interval shown on Real Y Time Trains as 'STP' which implies it is a re-timed train plan. So I can get there and all i need to do is find a means of paying to get in!! Edited March 15, 2023 by The Stationmaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Getting ready for the off on Friday with a bit of wheel cleaning. Looking forward to bringing North Ballachulish to the show, and to our beery excursions in the evening on the Piccadilly Line. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernfrance Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I'm feeling a bit p@@d off at the moment as having avoided Covid for three years it finally got me last week, and is still around, meaning I can't be there with "James Street".

Over it now, we'd had 4 jabs and I suspect it's not as potent a bug as it once was, but not fun nonetheless. It's definitely still out there - sorry you'll have to miss the show though! 😢 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
