So, next time you're on board your train and you remember to log in, or have wifi or whatever, post here...

I'm currently on board 1H34 1112 BSW-MYB... Just arriving at Leamington Spa. I'm tethering off my mobile.

Chiltern service well-loaded but not full. Table seat and able to stretch my legs. Bag of crisps for breakfast on way to Kingston in Surrey for an interview.

This ticket cost me £16.50 Bite me.

I was on the platform at Doncaster waiting for an Adwick train as you called there.

Currently on the 1557 Basingstoke (ex Exeter) - Waterloo service with 159001.

Changing at Clapham to go back to Purley Oaks...

This is also my first ride on a 159, nice comfy seats and I get a ride in the pioneer unit!!

159s are so much more comfortable than the Desiros...

Been on 150001 many times although not as many as Dave. It's nothing special and it's smelly.

But it is extra long! In a world of 2 carriage 150s, a 150 middle car is like woah!


Well mildly interesting the first time anyway...

Mind you, its nothing like those old Central 3-car 150/1+ /2 hybrids.... 150001 is much more sleeker ;)

On the 0916 Doncaster - London, a 225 set. Stuck just outside Doncaster station because of a problem with one of the train doors. Not best happy as I'm on my way to the Olympics...

Edit: Moving now, my guess is the driver failed to perform his checks before leaving the station.

Currently on the 1451 Edinburgh - London Euston service, 390007, headign to Crewe. Coach J, seat 14, first class. A few minutes late setting off from Edinburgh. The Pendolinos do seem a bit quieter than the Super Voyagers, I must say - it helps not having a diesel engine under your seat I suppose.

Next train will be the Arriva Trains Wales "Premier Service" from Cardiff to Holyhead in first class, although I'll only be on it from Crewe to Flint. Should be nice!
