Quite simple - they don't have any.

Have a look at GB Railfreight's vacancies. Pretty sure I saw planning jobs advertised recently.

37308 was also 37274......

Utter unfettered shambles. As usual.

Not sure Perks of the job applies. Ugly people having sex, and a couple of suicides in 30 years seems to have been my lot. Stuff like shooting stars tends to get forgotten.

Can't you go looking for them, like we used to in the good old days prior to Internet? It's fun you know, with a real.sense of achievement.

That's a knee jerk reaction to an annual event if ever I saw one. What do they intend to do next, suspend services September to December now?

Having not long ago experienced a 701 on the main line, I can't believe they're even considering it!

No, you really need not bother. That kind of nonsense ceased to be 'funny' years ago.

No, not for years. I worked one of the last down to Fawley - brake van having been detached at Totton ( they got a little excited if a brake van arrived in the refinery with the stove billowing smoke - and it did happen once). Van should have gone back to Willesden Brent later in the day but I...

027 as well.

Correct. 45036 also soldiered on till the end with glass fronted centre split headcodes. I'm trying to remember what was in North Yard at Swindon too - pretty sure there was more than one 45/46 in there with original headcodes.

Four trains out there this evening/morning. 6F05/F06/F07 and F08. Work concentrated on relaying the up road, the down road has already been renewed. The (Tunnel) junction is still plain lined, and presumably will be sorted after the tunnel relaid. All signals in the vicinity are out - very...

GBRf are delivering and commissioning the units. Once the units have been commissioned they will pass to SWR for operation. Looks like good work for the FOC. Not only are they delivering them from the factory, but also tripping them for mods at Widnes, doing the mileage accumulation runs and the...

No, that is wibble.

There's several container services daily, plus 2 Westbury - Eastleigh rtn trippers for NR operations. All services either diverted or curtailed for the duration.

Well, they ain't going by road from where they currently sit. I suppose they'll be rerailed and tripped on to Salisbury depot, SWR. They can be hidden out of sight there until such a time as something else is arranged to shift them.

Yep - 56/69/66 share common components. There's a reason why the power unit and electronics were used in the 69s too - its proven, reliable and available.

Because it wasn't a catastrophic accident. Fortunately.

Just like the old days, not knowing if you're getting where you intended and with your desired traction..... No good long term as a business model though of course. Once you've booked and made arrangements it's not going to take too many cancellations before you throw the towel in.
