First Class 70s arrive Thurs 5th Nov

[feliner]

Class 70 is going from Lawley st,to Midland rd, Saturday 21/11 departing at 0855 as 0Z70 max speed 40mph.It will call at Leeds FLT to pick up a class 66 at 1500ish then onto Midland rd,at1525.

 

[moonrakerz]

I put it to this thread that Ann Widdecombe is a class 70, whereas Caroline Flint is a class 40. Obviously no MP could ever be compared to a Deltic!

You've started something now: -

Gordon Brown - a Nodding Donkey ?

 

[Oswyntail]

Blast - I shall be voyaging in the opposite direction at that time. I shall look out for it in passing, but probably be unable to appreciate its rugged beauty. Any idea how long she is staying in Leeds?

Tony Blair has to be a Voyager in that case! Seems good at first, but turns out to be pretty tacky once you're aboard for the ride.

Obviously John Prescott is a Thumper.

Maybe Gordon Brown is actually a McRat?

Jaysus! Is this thing visiting West Yorkshire?

Head for the hills!

I suspect there is no truth in the rumour that Birmingham City Council had an expulsion order issued, co-joint with a Restraining Order preventing it from again entering the City limits !


Birmingham has spent much money on greening up the city and removing those horrible tower blocks and is determined to improve the City. No doubt the thought of such a horrible sight (albeit hidden away in a place few rarely venture) was too much.

Thank god im going into birmingham via Moor Street tommorow...Ive just got over one pain in my eye (eye infection)... I Dont want another!

hock:

 

[Old Timer]

Old P. Way Inspector's trolley bike.

Used to ride it along the track to inspect the track/check on men.

Just one of a number of variations.

 

[royaloak]

Dont go much on the company "car" OT, suppose it will keep you fit .

 

[Old Timer]

The new Company Car for NR staff so entitled.

Mine is much better !

My current second car comes complete with very nice KLM stewardesses (mostly ladies).

 

[Crossforth]

I'll try and get down to Fitzwilliam or Moorthorpe tomorrow to see it...

...then they can destroy it

 

[royaloak]

Would one of them be the delightful Lady that was your previous avatar?

Nah...i have a feeling that the Pacer would be Boris Johnson...

And the 70...Ken Livingston perhaps? Big...Not pretty...And rather Toy Like...

Ahh...Hope someone in brum finds the right size Tarpaulin then...Dont want to scare the Kiddies now do we...or Nature for that matter...

Perhaps this loco should be rated an 18...and only aloud out after dark

 

[Old Timer]

Indeed so, Old Chap

 

[royaloak]

You Sir are a very lucky man indeed.

 

[Old Timer]

But soon I could be condemned to Pendolinos :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

And forced against my better judgement to line Beardie's pockets :cry::cry:

Anyway all these lovely Dutch ladies are bad for one's heart and blood pressure, and the Duty Free at Schiphol is no longer the wonderful place for bargains that it once was when you use £, thanks to our economic situation.

 

[royaloak]

I really cannot comment on that except to say- oh but then I would be commenting .
never been on a pendo, but we went through Brummingham a few weeks ago, on a XC HST I do have some standards, and my 6 year old spoke the words I feared the most .

 

[Old Timer]

Suffice to say that whenh Mk3s arrive on odd WCML services, the punters are more than happy with them.

I prefer to travel first class simply because there is more room, and the Internet is free. Would you believe it is about £10 per hour in standard, yet another rip-off.

Food served quickly can be consumed by Rugby but any slackness means one is rushing if you are getting off at Coventry.

Yeah last time I passed lawley st it was hidden behind one of the buildings

ta for the times OT, and here is your prize

 

[37401]

Better?

RailUK challenge, see who can do Euston-Glasgow or Glasgow-Euston in under 5 weeks

 

[Old Timer]

70001 slunk away from Lawley St some 30 minutes late, no reason known but cynics suggest it was carrying various dispersal and restraining orders issued by adjoining local Councils.

New nickname for class 70s: ASBOs?

 

[37401]

Late arrival into the UK
