    Should trains have CCTV fitted to monitor what’s happening in the cab?

    OK I'll chuck my two'penth, Unfortunately my FOC are trialling this. My argument being :- When Q-tron (black box) was installed. We were told "This is an entirely passive system, that would only be used in the event of an incident " ..... Guess what it is now used as part of our assessments...

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    All I can say is thats what the EMDEC, (loco's computer) is saying the loco is giving me.

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    As signing Felixstowe abeit for another FOC. I personally never use notch 8 on any train !!! But that's another story. Running in notch 7 usually gives you approx 2390 -2400 hp

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    From the big boys chair, I personally work for another FOC, again I only use up to notch 7 (a long story) From Felixstowe I can quite happily keep time using notch 7 ( for a 66 thats 2,390 hp (Yes figures taken from data meter on EMDEC). I believe the 99 is 2.400 hp on diesel. So how will it...

    Football

    Absolutely B teams need to go, Its blatantly obvious its a device to get the B teams into SPFL. Agreeded Promotion and relegation desparately needs opening up, But this seems to be rushing through, strange that Gala's Chairman is involved
