 I found an old lamp in an antique shop last year. As I started to polish it a genie appeared
  and offered me  one wish.... I had a choice... either a long dick or a long memory....
   ....I cant remember where I bought it........

  I am still looking for H1009 which has no official tracking since last august  there are also many more 'h' vehicles either out of service or non trackable (or both)is there  any particular reason for this?  or are they due for re sale to another operator? later in the year?

Quote from: Rachvince53 on December 06, 2022, 11:57:26 AMRemember the United Counties Coachlinks service X64 which ran from Birmingham (Bull Ring Bus Station) to Corby.  I used this or Midland Fox service 66 to get from Birmingham to Coventry instead of the 900 as they were quicker. The 66 ran to Leicester hourly (there was also one journey as X66 which omitted Coventry). The remnant of the 66/X66 is the X6 (Cov-Leicester).


I have fond memories of the Midland Red service which ran from Birmingham to Nottingham
   which I would catch at Sutton coldfield... back in my steam spotting Saturdays on arrival at the Bus station in Nottingham about mid day I would race over to Nottm Victoria station to catch a local train to Grantham which left at 1 pm  on one occasion I was 'pulled' by a named B1 61000 " Springbok" which was based at Colwick  Unfortunately I could only stay for 3 hours as I needed to be back in Nottm to catch the last X99 back home from the bus station at 7.15pm  about 12/6d  (65p)  for a good day out    happy days

 As Some of us will remember a few years ago a group of Chinese cockle pickers
  came to grief on southport beach when they were overrun  by the incoming tide
  as the group could not speak any English they asked for advice on the max
  height of the water they could work in..  they were told they were to work up to Knee high... unfortunately when the tide came in too fast Mr Ne Hi was still on the pier
  eating his sandwiches.....and the others all drowned.

   has anyone seen E127 actually IN service ?  Its the only COV veh I have not seen I'm tempted to spend a few hours around sainsbury's corner next week purely on guesswork
 as The tracking hasn't registered since last August so I could be wasting my time

    I'm also chasing My last H veh (H1009) 1 of many I suspect never get tracked
   anymore  Does Walsall have a H refueling facility yet? or are they still travelling to tyseley every day? maybe thats why they keep their use to a minimum   
   AND  yardley wood  spare vehs....is there any reason why they need to stick to the same three every day? why are they only using  Z001/06/07??

 Many thanks I am more confident now I have no problems with PC usage and I have a 
  certificate to prove it  (CDL)  but I dont seem to have the same mentality for smarties!
  I also Have a Publisher suite on my PC which enables me to print documents and add /remove photos and create my own personal choice of publications with my own images it should also be possible in most cases to 'lift' images from the net if the image(s) are designated common use.  The BT Q&A Will be held at the IBIS hotel (New st) (not New st station) on the 7th Feb  10-3pm

  Hi TB... I think maybe I would need to register my smartphone as 
  an inclusive to my land line/broadband contract?   I cant imagine 
  BT will allow me to use their WiFi as my smartphone has a Vodafone sim payg  
   I may be wrong?  Incidentally  I have had an E mail from BT to say they propose to make all copper connections obsolete from April and adopt a digital alternative  They have said
 They intend to hold a public Q/A at New St station between 10am and 3pm  February 7th
  I propose to be there about 12 o clock... should be interesting
