I seem to remember that there was a version of the Pines Express running in the 1980s, during the time when BR revived a number of the old named expresses. Anyone else know anything about this, or is it just a faulty memory? BaseTurnComplete ( talk) 20:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- The reference I have, said it ended in March 1967, but was reintroduced in the 1990s, via Birmingham, Coventry, Leamington, Oxford, Reading, Basingstoke and Southampton. Pyrotec ( talk) 20:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
I remember travelling on the Pines Express between Birmingham and Reading. I'm pretty sure it was a Manchester to Bournemouth/Poole train under CrossCountry, until the end of locomotive haulage. When the Voyagers took over all services and CrossCountry (Virgin) was relaunched, all trains on the route were de-named (including the Sussex Scot etc.) Aboodoo ( talk) 02:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

began editing this one as a bit of a point and while I don't have any more time to dedicate to it, there are more sources if someone wants to work on it. TRAVELLINGCARI My story Tell me yours 18:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
