    4-Day Private Charter With 40145 on ECS

    Since mentioned elsewhere, 6705/06 are the start of a Private Train for exclusive use by Mr H and his invited guests, so unfortunately 1X00 displayed was merely to indicate that 5Z40 was en route to collect Mr H from Euston.

    Dartmoor & Weardale Railways for sale

    The issue is the stock is at Okehampton Platform 2 and unable to be moved by administrators as currently no operators license in place. So doubt will see any sale list until the stock is able to be moved to Meldon Quarry where it can then be roaded out.

    4-Day Private Charter With 40145 on ECS

    6705 and 6706 will never be part of a public carrying service, plus electrically they are 3 phase only now so can't work with the usual railtour stock. (All the other vehicles in rake today have had 3 phase retrofitted) Its not my place to say but I'm sure the reasons why will become apparent...

    The NR Standard NR/L2/OHS/005 defines a High Street Environment as: A COSS is not required, however a "Site Keeper" needs to be appointed if required (see below). Usually the Site Keeper is a qualified COSS, but its upto the contractor to nominate a competent person.

We also ran a test train as part of section...

    Thameslink Chaos (07/11/11)

    I suppose it does help if you install Traction Return bonds rather than S&T bonds around the S&C at City Thameslink . . . . Along with the 'accidental' removal of an operational LOC at the weekend, cutting straight through all the cabling, it hasnt been such a good weekend for our signalling...

    Inspector Sands @ Euston

    Waterloo definately test it every Wednesday at 11am. They seem to spend more time with pre-warning announcements before and after informing that its a test then the actual test announcement. Yet some members of public still look in shock when the evacuation message then plays!
