A distasteful choice of words on his part. Wouldn’t class that sentence as offensive in that context, controversial if anything. I guess 17 years of loyal service can’t even escape the woke!

Turns out dragging a 66 along incase if broke down wasn’t a great idea then.

Thanks for the info, will see how far I get with it.

Thanks, I did miss that. I’m still slightly puzzled as I thought the tees yard was also closed. Do you know if it’s the slidings that are opposite teeside shopping park.

Evening all, there is a job advertised for a Locomotive engineer with DB advertised as being based Stockton. Anyone any idea where this is based, I have tried to do a little digging and from what I can tell the only TMD in that area is now closed (Thornaby).
