    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    Did 99011 actually arrive at Felixstowe? If so then reports of a seized axle further up this topic where somewhat wide of the market. I did see 4L04 lost a lot of time between Peterborough and March so there was a problem somewhere. Fadster.

    TfW class 398 Stadler Citylink tram trains

    Re 6F40. Answered my own question. 2 HST power cars back to back with the 2 barrier wagons. These trams do appear to be going back to Taff Wells "wholesale". Is that 2 this week and 1 last week? Either testing completed or given the list of issues posted above, someone is giving up testing...

    TfW class 398 Stadler Citylink tram trains

    There's a 6F40 on it's way from Kings Norton to Dalby. Is this bringing another Tram up to Asfordby Test Centre or just barrier wagons for another drag back to Taff Wells?

    I've just been past Tyseley and I believe 196010 and 196011 were in the carriage sidings next to the main line. I thought all the EWR units had left for Bletchley? Can anyone confirm my sighting please. Fadster.
