Sort of... But don't you have the 442s for the moment? These are longer than usual as well, maybe SWT have a 'thing' for long coaches on some routes?

Going back several posts, it was so far back I forget who posted it, did someone say they had pictures of the EKR 'bump'? If so, can we see them? Cheers

The depot 09 was also used. Is this the first time a 67 and 09 have worked together?

Getting back on track, (we seem to have veered off onto AC stock,) are any of you guys going to do anything with the CIGs already saved? They are in need of work.

Tom. There are no 309 coaches at Pump House. The 312s were Angel Trains and thus were cut at Caerwent. Some also at Newport docks. Only Porterbrook used Immingham in the slamdoor scrappings of recent years. The Fire brigade 312s will not just be set on fire. They will be rolled over so...

What I do not understand is why EOR does not simply build their own platform the other side of the bridge, they could put buffers etc in, and have a simple walk way beneath the bridge. Or if LUL kick up about that, have their own entrance

Once St Pancras is re-electrified, these Moorgate diversions will end up there. The Crossrail route will be virtually beneath the ZFD - ZMG route, it's a shame it can't surface between Farringdon and Barbican, use the Barbican platforms [which will need attention no matter what] before...

Not quite, Tom. At Mangapps near Burnham on Crouch, Essex there are a couple of 302 DT coaches back to back, and these are used fairly regularly.

There are two departmental 309s, quite a few 310s and a couple of carriages of a 312 The 309s are not going anywhere, Angel are waiting to see if anyone can use them further. The 310s are full of asbestos and preservation would be of a shel badly cut about. The 312 coaches are owned by a...

One thing. The site located is earmarked for a stadium! There are already 1392, 1393, 1399, 1499 and 1753 saved from the CIG/BIG family, not counting the two Lymington units, plus 3822 and 3417 are both either saved or earmarked for saving from the vep/vap/vup/whatever - class 423 - family...

I'm new to this forum, how does one attach a photo? Inside her[/img]

Good to see the Dartmoor Railway represented in the photo... Nice Tie!

OOPs! Typo! Make that 'dribbling wrecks'... What is a fribbling wreck?

The list was of recent mainline preservations. If I were to have added those preserved several years ago, going back to the BIL and COR then everyone WOULD be reduced to 'fribbling wrecks' like my old mate Slash ;-) As for the name, I like it. Insider
