Fair play to you us old school DB do know how to use notch 8 :E

Actually I will say Colchester ain't a bad box to deal with !! :lol:

Also 40th Anniversary of the Colwich accident today

Easy Now. Yesterday on 4L45, I managed Peterborough to Felixstowe 6 late at Peterborough and Trimley 7 early, So actually I would say although the TSRs are in place they don't affect the freight as much as the passengers, plus signallers giving decent regulating it shows it is possible to run...

Three words ....... temporary speed restrictions

My record for a Class 56 was 3 bottoms out over Ramsey Road !! Actually between Whittlesea and Eastrea currently better than Alton Towers!!

'fraid so !!! Think Bavarian

Actually No !!!!!

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...

No, new colour light is on the Down side about 70 yards further on towards Luffenham

I worked 6M44 through Ketton, Friday. Certainly in operation then (no sign of a replacement too)

All I can say is thats what the EMDEC, (loco's computer) is saying the loco is giving me. Whilst the loco does the work, it also comes down to how its driven, Some drivers like to lay sand some let the loco do it. I personally leaving the North Terminal drop a notch if she picks her wheels up...

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
