Cleared the Thames Valley branches and mainline shacks too, something I've been trying to do for years! I'm very happy with the results from today, was nice to get onto FGW again

Thanks

Scored 08825 at the Chinnor gala at the end of last month, which was followed by a trip to Slovakia (my first visit there). Had around 35 locos - unfortunately, one of them (CD 242204) wasn't a new one for me as it was a Czech loco I'd had in its home country. There seemed to be quite a few CD 242s on the Bratislava-Zvolen circuit, which I found a bit annoying - I like them, but I wanted some Slovakian stuff!

I'm happy with the progress made on the 317s. They've always been rather difficult to do in the past due to the incredibly low utilisation of the fleet at weekends. On Monday though Greater Anglia had strengthened a lot of services for the bank holiday and there were plenty of 8-car sets out.

Since my last update I had a day in London and have just been up North for a week with the missus so the train was a means of getting from A to B, not me looking for anything. If it turned up and I needed it was a bonus. That said, pretty much everything I travelled on on the Tyne and Wear Metro was new.

Quite pleased with this week considering I was just turning up and getting on what was there.

 

[Techniquest]

Getting more than fed up of my subscription to this thread disappearing quite frequently, I only happened to find it again on New Posts. Flipping annoying to say the least...

No new stuff for me (well, unless you count stuff that was missing from my NREA yet done ages ago...) but I did tot up on my commute home the other day that I've had a nicely impressive 203 winners so far this year For 3.5 months that's not too bad really in my eyes, although not a patch on some people's efforts by the looks of it!

Can't get out and about again for a while yet, but when I do it'll just be a short day out sadly, and that's not for just over a week yet. Still, bring on the monster efforts of the planned Central Scotland, Kent Rover and Anglia Plus trips that are lined up to be carried out later this year

Why do you need to rely on subs? This thread is stickied.

New Types for me

Class 332 (T123-T5 transfer)
Class Z 26500
Citadis 402
Setra Citaro clone (looked to be a rebodied Citaro)

390124 at Crewe on a train to Manchester. 1 minute connection off 390020 from platform 11 to platform 5.

 

[33056]

Loads of miles for a handful of winners over the last four days:
3205 on the South Devon (pretty sure that I had this in 1970 something but, other than a picture of a much younger me standing on the footplate, there is no proof that I actually rode behind it)
76084 ("theblackwatch" will appreciate that I was quite pleased at getting this!)
D6732
08436 (rather unexpected as I was not expecting to get anything at the Swanage gala - only went down there for the 33 back to London)

Hi bb21,

Hope you can help. When you said this thread is stickied, do you mean like how the light rail mile charts are and should appear at the top of the forum list. If so could you direct me to it please because sometimes I have to scroll through a few pages to find it. If that isn't what you meant I am totally confused.

Many thanks.

Why do you need to rely on subs? This thread is stickied.

When I visit the forum, I always start with going to User CP to view which threads I've posted on have replies on them, then it's to New Posts after that lot. If nothing crops up in the first 5 pages (I've probably missed quite a bit of stuff I'd be interested in this way, but c'est la vie) of New Posts I want to look at it's usually RA to Trip Planning & Reports to see what's going on there.

So yes, subscriptions to threads is very useful for me. I'd still like to know why (usually after I've viewed a thread on the app) that my subscription to a thread disappears. I don't know if it happens to other threads too, but this seems quite likely.

Back to topic, I intend to have got some more red pen action on Monday with my trip to Manchester

 

[12CSVT]

Attention all red pen men. According to the WNXX forum there will be two different 66/7s running at Nene Valley this weekend (ie one on Saturday, the other on Sunday)

Times - Sat : 1442 ex Wansford, 1530 ex Peterborough, Sun : 1242 ex Wansford, 1330 ex Peterborough

Apologies. Had a dumb moment.

Yes, I meant exactly that. For some reason, I was thinking about a different thread.

You'll have to ask an admin as moderators don't deal with technical stuff.

Some, surprising, recent winners for me... On trips no further than Selby:

180102
180103
180106

Which means I'm over half way through FGWs 180 fleet, without having ever been on a FGW 180 operated service!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
As many of you will know I've had one Northern 158 outstanding for years... And my local line is 95% 158 operated.

Well it gives me great pleasure to report, I've got it! Posting now onboard 158901!

really good day at the Nene Valley yesterday hope apart from 40135's break fault.

I agree that the ZZ22500 units (and their RATP cousins on the A) are vile things, the first batch has a lovely salmon pink interior. The seats are also very grey, and for stock that isn't that old, their condition is disappointing. I also find it intriguing that there is no upper deck access from the middle door on the SNCF RER E units, which (perhaps from being so used to the RATP examples) looks odd.

I do like the line L units out of St Lazare, nice and noisy as you say.

And thanks for the information about line 9 units on the line 5. I had one a couple of months back, and new it was a new train given the different livery. However inside I noticed that it had no 'flashing dot' station displays and I was also under the impression that the line 5 had a full compliment of stock and was not expecting to receive anything else new. That info happily clears it all up, cheers!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Yes, all the Line 9 stck is being bedded in on Line 5 first.

And if you like the Z6400 that much, get back over and chase them... the first withdrawl has been made ( Z6483 ) recently and the outstanding option on Z50000 just about matches the size required to replace all the Z6400s... I'd give them 2 years at the most...
