    Autumn refresh for GWR Class 165/166 Turbos

    The problem with the lino fitted to the recently refurbished 165s is the texture of it resembles what would be best described as sandpaper. This is why the new lino on turbos is so hard to keep clean, as it is impossible to mop without taking hours per unit.

    GWR - Talent Pool Discussion

    Anywhere between a couple weeks, and 5 years, to be blunt. All depends on vacancies available at the depot you're in the talent pool in, and your performance in the Driver Manager Interview. For me it was just under 2 years. My interview was March 2021, and I started February this year.

    GWR Class 769 information. (Units no longer with GWR - Off Lease March 23)

    Out come the 769s, in come the 230s! At least the 230s are shorter, so will take up less space

    GWR Class 769 information. (Units no longer with GWR - Off Lease March 23)

    I can only assume it's the DC equipment that might cause them to be out of gauge

    Severn Valley Railway (SVR): News and updates

    I got the timetable, thanks, however 20048 had some trouble yesterday, and was taken off at Bridgnorth, meaning 20189 ran by itself nose first. So was wondering whether that "trouble" has been sorted or not.
