SWR Siemens Northam Traincare Open Day

[RealTrains07]

this event is now fully booked...awaiting the 2nd and final e-mail which I thought was due yesterday 23/09

I was expecting that too. Roll on saturday or in this case rail on saturday!

should be easier with everything revolving around the depot this time instead of being split between it and the NTAR like last year

2nd e-mail arrived @1205 am 25/09 bus shuttles from Southampton central platform 4 exit

If your travelling by car they suggest parking in either Southampton Central station car park or in one of the nearby city centre car parks

Is the return diagram on RTT yet?

It’s on TRUST, but not on RTT as of yet.
Running as 5Z07 again, it will be via Havant due to engineering works.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a 442 there?

Got more chance of having a diesel there, and that’s blooming unlikely.

Ah! So it wasn't someone messing around with the headcodes as a wind up after all...

I did try and subtly tell you after all

 

[RealTrains07]

I eat my words

Dont think the line up could be any better

 

[trainmania100]

I'll be there today chaps, grey anorak with a bright yellow hood. Do not hesitate to come up to me and say hello.

We’re on our way too - just left Bath

The ‘every 15 minute’ mini bus service is nowhere to be seen. Funny that

But the every 30 mins on the way there and 10 mins on the way back double deckers were great!

Ahem, First double deckers were running shuttles...

It was quite an interesting day. Especially enjoyed seeing the underneath of a train.
