Hi all, Recently applied for a job at Craigentinny as a train cleaner via the Hitachi website. Is there anyone who can give me an idea of the hours and rota Craigentinny cleaners work to, plus what benefits do you get? The advertisement was not the clearest. Hope to be successful in this...

Looking forward to seeing those of you who are coming along :D - I'll be coming down from Stirling myself, so definitely a bit of a trek. Expect there might be more than one vacancy at each depot, as this assessment day seems to be all related to the new Lumo West Coast services?

Yes it did, hauled by 4069 and 4020.

Still nothing. Apparently from another thread it can take up to 4 weeks. A little while longer then.

Any updates on 4083’s in-house refurbishment? Last I heard all the doors were off and it was painted standard black, with the front end still yellow.

It is the Badger, seen on a Railcam post on Facebook:

As a volunteer I’d be delighted to answer your question. We do have historical records, however I believe many of them are stored on a different site, Beamish I know is one of them. Some historical records are kept on site, as they get brought out for show every so often, and I’d assume these...

Anyone else here a vistor, or a volunteer, at the Tanfield Railway? It’d be great to know of anyone else who volunteers to have a chat here and also to talk direct with visitors and other enthusiasts who visit the railway! I, myself, am a commercial volunteer.

There’s also a very noticeable alignment at St James where they were planning for a a terminating Platform 3 on the left as you arrive into the station. I think this was to be used for football extras during match days. It appears it could be just be knocked down and then theres a tunnel in...
