Awaydays, Merrymakers or plain old Advertised Excursions, whatever they were marketed as in your area, the once commonplace ADEX is just another aspect of the railway scene that is long gone... to read more (see part 1).
This page was previously part of our old site 1980's Timewarp, with many thanks to Gary Stratford.
Can you add to the listing below? Do you know what worked any of these trains or can you confirm if they even ran? Did you travel on any of the services listed and do you have any railway related memories of the trip? Please post in the box below.

What a fantastic repository of information. I have a query you may be able to assist with - I have a photo of a class 116 formation passing High Wycombe on the down through road on 15 July 84 with the headcode 1T06. As yet I havent been able to identify the working. My notes at the time say it was ECS but that may or may not be the case. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Here's the link to the photo on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/145367983@N08/45167203035/in/dateposted/..Comment here or by email if you could please...Robert@Parkway9.plus.com....Many thanks!
