would i be correct in thinking that 099 will have to get yellow warning panels painted on or is it just getting dragged to say the GCR for it's evaluation whilst it's here and running about on private lines.
I'm not saying it is going to the GCR. Just using it as an example before i get...
The vessel SUDKAP currently conveying 70099 is currently approx 35 miles to run to newport doing 6.3 kts on a heading of 11 degrees manuovering past a tanker as i type this. AIS is a wonderful peice of kit. i reakon she should be alongside by 8pm unless she goes to anchor.

if you're on about the bay platform it's way to short for a HST / 180. you'd be lucky to get a 4 car unit in there. though i suspect the 20 min dwell time is in between the northern services. IIRR the freight normally use the unused platform side so there should be no issue...
Cheers mate, is one of the better spots with the old style wooden fencing not the new 8 foot metal stuff thats further down the line, plus the kids like it there to have a run about. I would say that you are no more than 20ft from the tracks so you can get good veiws up towards greatham and back...

I normally get the 0959 from eaglescliffe on a sunday which is 99% of the time a HST. last time i got the later one it was a 180. but i suppose it's whats diagrammed in for the day. i'm sure some of the GC guys on here would be more best suited to confirm or deny. If i remember rightly the one...
Here are some bullet points from this months rail express regarding the Loco order.
ARRIVA has placed the mandatory notice requirement (OJEU Notice) seeking up to 13 100mph diesel locos. There are 2 options:
1: lease or hire of locomotives.
2: lease or hire of locomotives, together with...
I'm afraid rail is the only option i have as i don't own a car. and getting a lift is a bit hit and miss. and it certainly wasn't my intention to start a rail v road argument, i was just saying i thought the prices quoted by AXC were on the expensive side compared to going via London which used...
