Thought the NVR deserves it's own thread & couldn't find one on here so apologies if there's already 1.

Cracking line is this, with some very interesting Swedish rolling stock which although unpopular with some enthusiasts I actually quite like & in particular the bar car is really nice.

Couple of bits I'm curious...

There was a connent by michaleth re first class on SVR on the WSR thread and I didnt want to hijak that discussion. The TTIs do sell a number of supliments, although there is scope for a misunderstanding.

At Kidderminster a passenger asks "where should I sit for Bridgnorth". The usual reply ia "anywhere sir/madam". The passenger interprets this litteraly and gets miffed when asked for a suplement....
