In the longer term it is hoped that 57s can be employed, the big question though is which ones...

They've been painted and are cleaned occasionally. There is a limit on what the carpenters at RVEL can do! What more do you want? :wink:

And you base your assumption on what exactly? So what your saying is that you have no idea at all.

They are not offering any to anyone until the full complement is back in traffic.

Two refurb rakes out. Two in Wabtec which only need internal refurb rather than a full rewire so should take a shorter time. One arrived this week, one more advanced in the programme. Apparently there is an option to use another HST set from somewhere which may be sat spare. Virgin don't...

The cost of a special build of just 2 cars would be astronomical and is highly unlikely it would be even contemplated. If indeed it was to happen, HT could have tagged on an order for additional centre cars to strengthen the fleet and eliminate the long term need for Adelantes.

67s may not run at 125 with a full tank of fuel.

Must be hellfire then (obviously), at least it was on something more meaningful than load 4 this time. No gold buffers though...I am surprised. :lol:

33,565 for me.

As long as its in full sun, it's hellfire! :roll:

There will eventually be 5 sets; 4 out and 1 spare/on maintenance per day. 2x Yorkshire-S.West-Scotland (stabling at EC) 2x Scotland-S.West-Yorkshire (stabling at NL)

Leaseco's (IIRC HSBC in this case) won't sell stock containing asbestos to an individual. They will only sell to an established ltd company/railway, which presents a problem. Buy a gutted unit and OK it may have no asbestos, but it will look just like this and you may as well not bother...

Yes. Not sure about t'others, but I'll be driving up.

Another video of "rateable" (for rateable read clapped out) 37s on load 4, must be hellfire.:?

Complete and utter jibber (along with the rest of your comments on this subject!) :evil: These things happen unfortunately and can't be forseen. Just one of those things... And yes, we arrived back at Intl somewhere in the region of 0100 today.

Obviously not hardcore enough; there's always the 'illness' excuse. Used that one countless times...

Twas a good do all in all, personal highlight being 518 on the second beerex giving 410 a run for its money!

Not 100% correct, horn grille covers weren't interchangeable... Confusing the Romanian/British split are 56031-055 which, although British built machines, retained the cleaner Romanian style cab fronts.

Advance information before it gets posted on thejunction.org.uk 323243 due to go into Wolverton today, 241 out. 221127 into XC.

Running as a 7-car until the timetable change partly due to running to Voyager timings until then. It's even got the Voyager style 'bing bong' announcements. :lol:
