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...
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
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...
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
On our Maps
The only thing showing prior to Scremerston is Goswick CCTV crossing on the Down.
On the Up prior to Scremerston you have Spittal Red/Green Pedestrian Crossing
Definitely not at a push !!!
Many is the time I've stood in the Ducket and either HST/91 set, now azumas have gone by and I think "man they must be warmer than me about now"
