    Leyland Olympian Tri-Axle (Ex- China Motor Bus)

    The 07s, when the 58s came in the MD of South happened to be at the bus station and asked what I thought of them (driving a 58) and said it sounds like something rolling around in the roof, he took that onboard (forget the actual fleet number now) but it turns out it WAS a screwdriver in the roof!!!

    Class 387

    Last week I observed a class 37 pulling a pair of 387s into Reading depot whilst it was waiting for a path into Reading depot... Has anybody else noticed the GWR 387s have a third rail pick up as well?
