Thnkyou very much, they are rare to me and that's what matters :lol:

there's no point for ec to paint them, they're only running it until the end of 2011, why waste the taxpayer's money on it?

I'm not blaming you, i'm just stating, there's also a BR blue mk 1 there which was last used on the station developement so that disabled passengers can get between passengers, it was brought up by a deltic and paired with an 08!

Just on a quick note the 47's and 08's have been there for ages :- http://clagmonster.fotopic.net/p60730688.html We managed to see 47810 head south to Barrow Hill the day we went last Summer but still there are 47813 and 828. The 08's are -...

its seen on the ecml quite a lot as it frequently goes to heaton depot, i've seen it at york twice, northallerton once and newcastle once... come to think of it i saw it at skipton once as well... Nice video of it at York here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di0MKHzrbOI

i'm sorry but wasn't this released like 6 months ago, didn't gc get 94%?

tpe's 170's aren't that bad from what I hear, they are good units for the services, perhaps needing to have another coach attached...

for me it would be northern's leeds to skipton, or gc's york to sunderland...

I know that this was taken a while ago, I simply forgot to tell you :- GC HST leaving York with two tone in HD, nicely done Bosch! Bosch's Mega Departure

FCC, Southern, South Eastern, SWT, scotrail?

The York - Blackpool service was formerly the Scarborough - Blackpool service, there was the Sunderland - Liverpool as well. It was a shame that this service was stopped at Newcastle, Sunderland hasn't had the greatest of luck since the Metro extension. The Carlisle - Middlesborough is now...

This could be a good thing, it simplifies the fleet and depot I was amazed that the York - Blackpool North services weren't given to TPE to run. It isn't a great service due to the 158's and that it stops everywhere. It would have been better if they could have got 185's for the route. Leeds...

Not a bad plan, or hire Loco Hauled and shove it on the Leeds - Carlisle thus releasing a few 158's...

No - one has any use for them, FL are getting the new class 70's which will release more, the only possible users could be GBRf who seem to be taking more and more of ex DRS / Advenza / FL. Colas now have 3 for their fleet and may want to take more but I can't see any mre uses unless new freight...

most of the stuff over 'ere is good, the 142's, 158's and 321's are good examples. The 150's are not brilliant, they need a proper good refurb, strip 'em out and redo everything...

virgin buffered HST's, GNER 89, D9000 hauling a 325 at Newcastle...

:oops: :shock: Erm, no, they are 90mph maximum...

yes definitely, if you want to refurb a train you have to find another to replace and it messes up rotas with cleaning and maintenance etc...

Well lets see, I have £200 saved up...

Excellent, that's another 180 ready, I can see driver training happening soon...
