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

So, you mean blackberry as in fruit ?

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

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.

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 ?

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

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.
