    Class 172 Production Progress

    The 139's journey is about 3 minutes. (The line is about 800 metres). This is not quite long enough to use a toilet so I don't think this is long enough. I do agree that the LO 172's need toilets though.

    Preservation...Now!

    Agree 150001/2 are both worth preservation. They are probably the 2 most historic items on the network.

    Class 172 Production Progress

    No. 331 and 332 should be returnning to derby next week or at the latest the week after for reworking and finishing. All subject to delivery of more units. I am told 334 is ready for delivery. Also 4 units without numbers but probably only 335, 336, 342, 343, 344 and 345 of the 3 cars...

    Class 172 Production Progress

    Agree it does make sence to Clear them in to New Street for ECS but with only worcester crews having route knowledge it cuts the flexibility down. I a sure in time things might change but the intention of the Fleet is for Snow Hill lines only. :D
