They'll be nostalgic rubbish for me lol

I'm from North Kent brought uo with the old slam door stock and then the networkers and now the most mind numbingly boring 375 electrostars! Lol THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME I totally empathise with you :-)

Bellerophon currently at the foxfield railway gets my vote built in 1874 she is a beautiful little engine unfortunately I can't post a pic but will do asap - mind you I'm probably bias considering I have helped working on her most of the winter

Thank you for letting us know (I am quite relieved actually - was having kittens about getting home! :o) ) Any ideas about next week? ANOTHER bank holiday!! :o(

I hear on the grapevine that there will be an open day this year but not readily publicised - does anyone know anything more about this? I'm not going to hold my breath though :o)

Nw gen an midlands gen are good groups - there are many others though. And yes freightmaster is an invaluable resource I find - unless you know someone with access to TOPS :o)

The pretendolino is the most recent rake of lhcs and the hst trailer cars are.viable to run behind any eth equipped loco aren't they? Correct me if I'm wrong here. Given the amount of overhauls they have had in recent years I should say they have a few years in them yet. As for a comment I saw...

Does anyone know if this is running at all this week given the fact its easter? Many thanks alan

The latest I heard (although strictly grapevine) was that the insurers had only just paid out and that it may be reformed - don't know how much truth there is in that though. The guy who told me can talk for England :o)

What made you count them? I'm a regular at Stafford (there most days) and have not noticed a shortened set running about --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sorry didn't read that last post :os

Thank you MUCH appreciated!

I believe it runs under the guise of 7X80 but please don't quote me on that one feel free to correct me!! Does anyone know if it will be running this Monday (28th March)? and any timings? if possible. -mlooking to try and catch it through Stafford. Thanks.

As a 5Zxx hcode it was ecs move presumably for or from a charter?

Sadly will miss it myself but some timings I have are Walsall 11.47 Stafford 12.24 Crewe 13.01 --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Should have mentioned its running tommorow (25 March 11)

Reading the bbc news pages on teletext for the west mids - I noticed Network Rail have applied to extend Stoke on Trents platform 2 by 52ft for running 11 car trains (the app needed because it is a listed building) my question - apologies if I've missed something - does this mean the 11 car...

I was going to say 54 should be named virgin(s) time :o)

I didn't want to know that - I go to crewe and its dead!!! :o) I just chased the 97s round to Derby anyone know what the stock was? I think I could just make them out alongside the RTC oh we'll *(sighs)*

Thank you - most irritating I finish work at 1500 I'll have to grab a taxi down to the station :-) if anyone sees it running early please post!!! Thank you

Anyone know the timings through stoke?
