I was on it too - I'm a casual train licker. Most folk on there were plain weird! I understand that 020 was running on one engine all day? So not actually fixed.

Eh? Why would they have spent all that money on overhauling the blue one last year for them to be taken out of service now?????? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Will they be doing the green one too? It's looking more than a little tired.

Noticed last night that Chilterns blue class 121 was in evidence at Aylesbury. I haven't seen it for at least 6 months... Anyone knows why?

No sign of the blue 121 around Aylesbury station for the last few days. Last weekend it was running the Quaintonian. They don't half hammer the 165s out of Aylesbury station on an evening too!

So now there are two blue bubble cars at Aylesbury. Are these both runners? The 3 car dmu seems to have disappeared.

Hi all, I have recently moved to Aylesbury and my house overlooks Chiltern's maintenance depot at Aylesbury station. There are three class 121s that seem to be resident here. From what I can gather from the internet, there are two operational units that are regularly used in service, and one...

Does anyone know if there is any freight movement on the Hull line today? Cheers.

Anyone know why it failed?

Ridiculous isn't it? HT have been well and truly shafted by being given these units. It's a shame - they ran a fantastic service 5 years ago.

101 is with HT at the moment. And yes, there was a fire on a HT trin at retford, by all accounts, although I've not been able to find much out about it. HT 180 was certainly evacuated and taken out of service.

Would be good if they held units at Melton... I'm literally two mins away from Gibson lane. Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well there should be a HT unit laid up somewhere at the moment - been out looking for it and can't find anything...

Well it looks like hull trains will be terminating at Brough this weekend. Anyone any idea on how the logistics of that are going to work? Where are they going to keep any units between services? Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

What's up with the 180? Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
