  1. Just been reading RAIB's report on the Thameslink/Dock Jn fiasco. Third rail doesn't trip out because of a little bit of foliage!
  2. @eorailway Best of luck Eeyore from the Marlow Donkey (it was a grand day out!)
  3. FGW's PPM: 2011-12P13 92.1% (best c2c 96.1%), MAA 90.6% (best c2c 96,8%; worst Virgin 85.9%) Source: DfT.
  4. Carousel Route 1 from High Wycombe to Bourne End is withdrawn from 16th April.
  5. Failed train between Burnham and Slough causing delays.
  6. Telegraph names Bourne End - Hgh Wycombe as potential candidate foe reopening.
  7. Spring newsletter and AGM notice getting mailed today. Email version tomorrow. AGM is Friday 23rd March.
  8. Bucks CC citizen card and concessionary fare changes here: transportforbucks.net/Buses-and-trai…
  9. Changes to discounted fares and Bucks CC Citizen Card validity came into effect yesterday.
  10. Go-ahead Group will take over Carousel Buses based in High Wycombe on 3rd March. They took over Thames Travel last year.
  11. CCTV now believed to be operating at branch stations.
  12. Don't forget - new fast trains at 2218 & 2318 M-F from Paddington connect with Marlow branch. 19 minutes more drinking time!
  13. Nice prog by M Portillo on Monday, but didn't mention our branch!
  14. HS2 the only sensible option, but why spend so much on mitigation when it won't passify the nimbys? Who wants to travel in tunnels?
  15. Naming competition deferred until January - fgw not happy with suggestions.
  16. CCTV going in at Furze Platt, or at least there was a post with a spikey necklace there last time I visited.
  17. December TT: last train back from PAD for the MLW branch (M-F) will be 2318 calling SLO only. 19 minutes more drinking time!
  18. More coaches for FGW - 180s and 150s to free up turbos for Thames Valley, but not before some time next year.
