    Any clues as to what livery 4555 will wear when she re-renters traffic?

    I notice there's a green DMU trailer at Churston, going on the carriage database I can see it's 115 class 59719. What are the plans for this vehicle?

    I believe the long term plan is for it to be an extension to the visitor centre at Kingswear.

    Going down to Devon in a couple of weeks so looked up the website for boat & train info to plan some trips whilst we are down there and I see its undergone a horrendous revamp from last year, its now so very hard to navigate that I gave up, Ill get leaflets from the TIC when Im there and plan on the hoof.

    Why do so many website revamps look so fancy yet make it harder to find what you want.

    A lot of it is to do with making them mobile phone friendly. Having looked at their website its a classic mobile friendly style - which is fine if you know that the block of horizontal bars top right gets you a menu but you sort of need to know that to make it work.
