Mine..driven the Royal Train twice..Queen once not sure the 2nd time. Rory McGrath at Cambridge.Tony Blair.Warwick Davis who kindly posed for a photo. Martin Clunes. Watched some of the filming of the last Harry Potter films at KX. A few more over the years that escape me!
I've not long since passed out on 700s (I'm a GN driver) and we were told they are delivered unbranded. Later the same week we saw one arrive by freight train and indeed it was delivered unbranded.
From a driver's point of view I like them..nice cabs,good interface and much better all around...
From what I found it was Brady after the death of John Straffen in 2007,who by then had served 55 years.
Brady was the current longest serving prisoner with 51 years inside.
Driver and driver manager/inspector only crew needed or involved. No training for public. Thats it I'm afraid! No God like powers given to anyone involved!
6 hours minimum where I'm based. Don't know of anywhere where you would be going home after 2 hours spare!! I think Mr XDM may be fabricating somewhat....
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
