Why would you want to gain a job that you know obliges you to work long anti-social shifts?

Every days a school day - without seeing the above I'd have cast doubt a Deltic had ever hauled a failed HST!

In short the answer is yes, there are EU nationals working as train drivers in the UK having been trained here - I part trained two of them, one from Poland, the other from Spain. As long as you are able to pass all the obstacles put in your way the same as everyone else then you are no less...

Lots of things happen in life that shouldnt or are unexpected, particularly where human beings are concerned. Are you trying to insinuate that you are the one 'perfect' human being walking the planet?

I shouldnt worry about Nationalisation - you nor I will ever live to see it, whichever bunch of scoundrels are running the country. I spoke to John Prescott back in 1996 one morning and asked him 'if Liebour win the next election will you be renationalising?' He replied 'yes, definately'. Well...

Are they transparent tank wagons then?

Back in the day, most of us used to just look out of the window. We knew it was a storm when things started blowing over. Pathetic, creeping, Americanism.

Amber is irrelevant - no such colour on the railway.

Or the Luton to Dunstable railway......

Drivers hubs at Nine Elms and Bricklayers Arms. Also an sub depot at Chard Jnc.

Absolute fact. DP2s power unit went into the pool of units and was used in numerous 50s as was standard with any type of loco which required a power unit, either at overhaul or out of course. Its just coincidence it ended its days in 50023, and this is well known. As an engine it was by that...

No. It ended up in the shell of 50023 which was subject to an abortive preservation attempt which failed. The stripped power unit went to Booths along with the shell of the 50.

No theyre not. The Baby Deltic for instance will not be working on anything other than private/preserved railways.

Valuable insights? More like uninformed guesswork which is hardly informative. Never known a forum with so much thread drift - Ive read some that truly leave me scratching my head!

Was there a derailment somewhere? Clicked on here qnd can only see wibble about guards route knowledge...

No 'perhaps' about it - im telling you as someone who has been to Hams Hall nearly 5 times a week, every week all summer that those points have been acting up for months. At 15mph, any wagons derailing in advance of those on the recption roads could easily cause lock buffering and subsequent...

Dont hold your breath, the railway is full of rumours like that - usually started in the messroom and overheard by conclusion jumpers.

The points under the train have been causing trouble all summer due to heat, thats all im saying.
