  1. @NVMarketing_UK yeah yeah..whatever :)
  2. @NVMarketing_UK At least I remembered on the day it was actually in my diary rather than the day after ;)
  3. @artfuldodger9 30/X30 Merc 709s then Darts. Think 33 became X33 later, but can't really remember the detail! 31/X31 had lots of versions!
  4. @artfuldodger9 can't remember 30/X30 difference, but night duties went from around 11pm until 8am.
  5. @blackmbn @SkyBlueStacey Just for the record, no nasty steam train involved... :)
  6. @artfuldodger9 33 was same as a X33 I think! X4 at 0735 used 7A bus as it was last trip of night 7A duty.
  7. @artfuldodger9 Can't remember the X30/30 - one served Preston Road I think. No thru Kid-Abingdons. All split.
  8. @jetgraham Oh no, that's a bit rubbish. Never mind - maybe next time!
  9. @artfuldodger9 X33 interworked with night 7A trips in S/C days. In TT times allocated anything left in depot. I think 30 went via Peachcroft
  10. @artfuldodger9 I think it went out to tender in the end. X9/9 followed same route.
  11. @artfuldodger9 6 via Morrell Avenue, 7B via Windmill Road. 1A Transits. 10/A avoided station to enable completion of full circle in 60 mins.
  12. @Bozzyknz Tim Minchin was on Radio 4 Desert Island Discs yesterday, by the way. It's on iplayer if you missed it!
  13. How our 6,544 trains performed last week: 94% <5m late (UK avg 93%) // Cause of delays: 25% LM-related, 75% other issues #keepingtrack
  14. @Bozzyknz Afraid not...Olympics will get in the way :(
  15. It's the last day of LM's online #railsale - up to 50% off Advance & off-peak tckts! Book now, travel by 31 May: bit.ly/GLjJbE
  16. @artfuldodger9 6 was Wood Farm & 8 was Marston. 1A was originally Greater Leys to Oxford before COMS 51/A started. Drove Sat nights usually.
  17. @artfuldodger9 Some of the early morning and last services went to/from Cowley Cntre. 9 was all stops, X9 limited stop.
  18. @45networker There's also the 0200 from Euston to Watford Junction which connects with rail replacement from there as usual.
  19. @jetgraham like, lol :)
  20. @swlines is that your all-time listings?
