There are a least a handful of you liking posts in the community, but there isn't really and discussion (or posts from anyone but me). Is there anything you would like to see more of posted here?

I think discussion/casual survey posts would be good. Start with simple stuff like what are your favourite stations, and station layouts, or which is the coolest platform zero, or what train type is your favourite, kind of thing. I have only a limited collection of UK train photographs but I'm never sure if I should just post news or add more photographs for Lemmings to foam over :)

Photos within reason reasons seem like a good idea.

I always try and throw a thumbs-up of encouragement as you are doing a great job - with little feedback it can be a little discouraging but it's great coverage even if I don't use the train much.

Ideas - often throwing out a question or challenge can get people more involved.

  • Any good recent train journeys or sightings?
  • Any memorable train journeys or sightings?
  • As mentioned below, train photos but also any nice station snaps?
