How do i know what freight is about?
 

I sawa bloke on warrington the other week he knew what Freight was coming 5 mins before it turned up, he had a blackberry. Does anyone know how to get this info. Ta

If he had a black beret, does that mean he was French ?

Blackberrying? was he going to make jam??:p

So, you mean blackberry as in fruit ?

Perhaps he was the man from Del Monte ? Did he say "yes" ??:D

Or "he heard it on the grapevine".;)

I was in Plymouth years ago with a ballast train for St Blazey and a young lad who was always on the platform had a TOPS printout of all the freight train workings he knew my train headcode that was more than i did that day.

ccmmick.

Your post has been deleted by me,if you do happen to be reading this as you indecated you would not be coming back,please remember you have been warned !!,and have been reported to the other Moderators

Sorry if you happened to read what was just posted gents.

Thanks,Ian

Now I must admit that my knowledge of mobile phones is a bit limited, but why call a phone blackberry ?

If it was a posh internet phone perhaps Mr Del Monte was accessing a web site ?:D

If so it would be interesting to find out which one.

Gents,can we please leave this topic alone now i have just had to edit one outburst and it was not a very nice one at that.

All the best,Ian

Sorry Ian but I think that the original question was quite valid. How and where do you access train timetables (especially freight) on the internet ?
There will always be idiots around, it is a pity that they tend to spoil things by posting unsavory comments. Most comments on this forum can raise a smile even if some are daft, that is why I like this forum so much.
Thank you for policing the forum and saving us wallflowers from naughty comments.

i havnt a clue,but remember a railway fella at man vic dumping freight timetables in the bin once,i asked if i could have them and he locked the bin[one of those huge ones ],he said he wasnt allowed,what a shame as i would of loved to look through them,good look in your search tho.
