It makes you wonder what would of happened if BR had chosen the 151 and not the 150.

We all have a line we would love to have seen preserved. What would yours have been and if we could have save 1 engine to run on it what would it have been? My chose would have been the Kidlington to Woodstock line and engine of cause the 0-4-2t 517 class 'Fair Rosamont'. :D

From a Guards point of view I have always liked 158's. For what they were built for they were perfect. From a personal point of view they always look like a proper train and I have never seen them in a livery that doesn't look good on them. Central livery was the best though. :D

Update on the 172 so far. 172331 Tyseley in use for driver training. To return to Derby soon for final fitting out. 172332 Tyseley in use for driver training. To return to Derby soon for final fitting out. 172333 returned to Derby to sought a small seating problem due back at Tyseley today...

172333 returned to Derby, 172331 and 172338 were out and about.

Yep. 172333 has however returned to Derby to sought a problem with its seating.

Lets get the resignalling and reworking of the layout at Kidderminster done first.

172337 arrived today. Also I believe that 172338 has completed its 1000 faut free running which means now that its the first comple and ready for service 172/3. :D

It is a shame that cost prohibited the relaying of Platform 5 as the extra road would of been perfect for stabling.

Yes more standing room. The last time I was on a 150 in the rush our whih was packet out of the 13 middle seats only 3 were sat in.:-x

The test diagrams for the 172's leave Tyseley each hour and Stratford each Hour about on the hour. The one from tyseley follows the XX.47 ex Snow Hill.

338 was the next one due.

I think it was either 172336 or 172338. It will be from these and 172337 which will be the next delivered.

Passed 172333 today. She looks and sounds the Business. :D

I have know details other than it is leaving Derby about 09.00 and due to stand at East Midland parkway for 8 minutes on it first trip. Problem with not having access to Trust :-( Due to run as a 3 car on 15/06 and believe as a 2 car on 16/06.

Just like Chiltern. Don't want to be outdone by LM! :o

The is a requirement for a Guard on the train North Of Banbury so with no guards trained up for the traction then DOO trips only. Thinks could change with so training but with only 4 and more Class 67 it is unlikely.

The will be more 2 and 3 car sets. Although a DMOS-MOS(L)-MOS-DMOS(L) is a nice idea and the design speak allows for 4 car sets i woud assume a MOS with a Toilet to give 2 would be the call of the day although as all of the platforms on the Snow Hill Lines are being extended to 6 cars where ever...

Agree.:D
