Sorry, but you should've spent your youths listening to SLF, The Exploited, 4Skins, and so on, this goody two shoes spotting stuff is not in keeping with the Red and White Barmy Army :-) On the contrary squire! It is very much in keeping with the red and white army as quite a few of the red and white army are/were railwayman, including the mighty 'Dick Thomas'! 'Goody two shoes spotting' whats that then? My youth was actually spent between Class 47's and the mighty town at the stadium when it was the yellow and blue army. I have never 'spotted' trains chief, just racked up mega milage all over the country with one specific class of locomotive! Hurling abuse at opposition at the farm is kinda the same thing as what goes on with all our own little passions eh?

Quite slepe. It's steam for me steve, but that's probably because I'm older than you and don't have your experiences. Mind you, I bet I do more travelling with modern TOCs in their awful trains than any other RWA member.

Right in an answer to M3 and various others who enquired on Saturday about the railway line that crossed the road twice in Hamble, this was a branch line from Hamble station to an oil terminal at Hamble le rice. The pipeline itself comes across from fawley.

There's talk of opening up a stretch of old line from Pompey to Fareham, to be used as a bus expressway! Locals have asked for trains to used apparently.....

Why doesn't it stop at Poole steve? Brian, this train is a private railtour and therefore NOT a public train. Regular services are expected to start in 2013 when hopefully it will all be fully signalled from a certain place where I work!

Steve 47 I am confused here, what is it that you do? Basher A term used by railway enthusiasts to mean several different things.
'Bashing' used on its own is a general term for a railway enthusiast's trip, excursion or holiday involving train travel and observation.
'Line bashing' (see 'complete riding' below) is more focused, and would be an attempt to cover as much of a railway network as possible. This can also be called 'track bashing' especially if the person wishes to try and cover individual sections of track such as crossovers and sidings, in addition to completing an 'A to B' journey on each section of line. In the UK (especially), Germany, and to a lesser extent in other countries, railfans often use a special excursion train for railfans (usually known as a 'railtour') to cover freight-only railway lines in order to complete their 'coverage' of a country's rail network.
Another development from trainspotting (almost unique to the UK) is the 'haulage basher' or locomotive haulage enthusiast.[11] These individuals attempt to ride behind or in the cab (some people do not count the latter as proper 'haulage') of as many locomotives as they can, marking them off in a book as would a regular trainspotter. Even the shortest 'haulage' will count, such as being hauled for a few hundred yards by a switching locomotive (UK=shunter) when one portion of a train is being hooked up to another at a junction. These individuals sometimes use unusual words and language known as 'basherspeak'.

My old boss has been doing some research on old RAF Bases in Germany, it turns out that the former RAF Wildenrath is now a rail test track for Siemens. The Germans certainly have kept going with trains, was always impressed with DBB when I lived out there.
