    Are they no longer sending out tickets in the post?

    Don't think I have had "tickets in the post" for any concert, event or trip I have booked on line for at least the last 4 years. You print at home or have on your phone.

    It's a while since I've travelled with Saphos but I'm considering booking on a Fellsman later in the year. Please can anyone help, is First Class (non-dining) located in "proper" coaches with toplights?

    Coach J is the Mk2. Might be worth ringing their booking office after you have booked and seeing if they can seat you in one of the other two First Class coaches, which will both be Mk1s. No guarantee though. Or book Standard Class instead, which will be in the Mk1 buffet coach.

    Thanks, very useful. Standard seems a better bet.

    Nice clip - unlucky with the long up train. What a travesty have the 'GA' headboard on a Scot!

    Not as odd as the Bluebell sticking it on the front of a SE&CR-liveried O1!

    What happens in the privacy of a preserved line is one thing, but in public...!;)

    A slowish coast here - still running very early perhaps? I'm confused by the two-tone horn here - what was that from? I notice that its return was also very early - no pathing stop at Headcorn.

    two tone horn was from a very obnoxious crossing train warning sounder.
