Re: Your Last Train Journey?
From: Stourbridge Town
To: Preston
TOC: London Midland, Virgin Trains
Details: Had a huge weekend at home with my friends. Stourbridge Town to Smethwick Galton Bridge was fine, then got lucky as I'd made a mad leap for the 1708 LM service thinking I'd missed it, only for it to be a couple of minutes late. I'm such a hero. Then it was the usual Wolves-Preston run on Virgin. The train was brought to a stand north of Stafford due to a door sensor failing. I've never been on a train that's made an emergency stop before - it was quite dramatic. Driver checked all was okay and we got underway about 6 minutes down. Time was made up and I arrived back into Preston as darkness fell.

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
I saw a lone ATW 153 at Birmingham International last week. Those coming off the plane and expecting the Virgin Intercity Express service to Birmingham New Street must have been disappointed!Badger wrote: Details: Commuting home from work, an un-exciting 153 ride. Dull dull dull.
First time I'd seen a lone 153 in the West Midlands for a long time.. (bar the Worley 153 of course)

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Destination: Stowmarket Sation
From: London Liverpool St.
Company: National Express
Details: Fatality on the line. Yawn. Supposed to be 19:30 - 21:00, ended up being about 22:00. *To make things worse the train was completely full so had to sit in doorway. Nice though as i probably had more fun talking to friends than i would have normally.
EDIT: *also, as it seems the previous train was cancelled all reservations were suspended. how stupid is that? if you pay for a reservation, you can't cancel it can you?

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Destination: Totnes
From: Newton Abbot
Company: Crosscountry
Class: 220
Details: Chronic overcrowding. No seats available (even though the train only started at Plymouth), even taking into account it was a friday hardly makes it any better. If the government wants more people on the trains, they need more trains. I stood in the vestibule for ten minutes. Wasn't too bad but the toilet stink was gag-inducing.

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Edited first post with the class of train, for more interesting reading (by me, anyway, i always like knowing where certain trains operate)
Anyway, i got a train earlier today;
Destination: Manchester Piccadilly
From: Huddersfield
Company: First Transpennine Express
Train Class: Class 185
Details: A surprisingly undercrowded train, all things considering, was still a bit of standing, but not as bad as usual, although being fair, it was about 09:00...

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Destination: Karlberg
From: Stockholm Central
Company: Stockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) in co-operation with Stockholmståg
Train Class: SL X60
Details: Insanely snowy, the train was therefore 45 minutes late. Luckily, the train before this was running the same route, an hour late. Therefore, basically alone in the train!!

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Oh, wait. I just realised that post was a lie. That was my last UK train journey. My last train journey anywhere (assuming you don't count the local light rail service) was:
From: Hengelo Central Station
To: Schiphol Station
TOC: NS
Details: It was bloody early in the morning, I had been at WineConf, and had to get my flight back to the US. I watched The Office and an episode or two of Buffy. Fun times!

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Bloody lucky really considering there was a fatality at Bramley this morning and everything that should go the Bradford Interchange way was being diverted along the Huddersfield route! Bloody chaos, made my job damn hectic!Jolteon wrote:Destination: Manchester Piccadilly
