Regular traffic from Millbrook stopped a couple of years ago - all Freightliner trains are now booked to serve the MCT. MARK

There tend to be very sporadic, so they can go for several weeks without running, but there has definitely been at least one Thrislington to Scunthorpe train this year. MARK

Out of curiosity, who do you mean by "we"??? While middle aged 'Karens' (of both sexes!) certainly seem to think like that and are very vocal about it, I don't think you can extrapolate their self indulgent virtue signalling to the majority of the population... MARK

As per ABB's reply above, most of the nuclear flask trains (with the notable exception of the Georgemas working) are booked for pairs of class 68s, although a class 88 can sometimes deputise for one of the 68s. Other than that, the Grangemouth to Aberdeen and Mossend to Inverness intermodal...

I'm hoping to get back to the US within the next 12 months, too! By June, the vast majority of adults in both countries (UK and USA) will have been vaccinated, so it would be a major political 'win' if Boris and Biden were to announce at the G7 summit in Cornwall that a 'travel corridor' was...

For clarification, 6K05 is 66-hauled the majority of the time; 68s are only used occasionally, although I believe it was 68-hauled on two consecutive days a couple of weeks ago! MARK

Fixed that for you... ;) MARK

You're thinking about Ryhope Grange sidings, which are on the other side of the line to the docks branch. Despite being booked to run down to the Docks, the ecs moves actually stable in Ryhope Grange sidings. MARK

In case anyone is wondering, Hendon is 'railway speak' for Sunderland Docks. :smile: MARK

6U83 was the headcode, so it should have been formed of DR97503 / DR97603 / DR97803 MARK

What 'people' would that be??? Certainly not the almost 50% of adults who have been vaccinated to date, that's for sure!! o_O MARK

I reckon a lot of public sector workers think the Government can pay for all the lockdown measures just by "taxing the rich more" - a deadly combination of naïvety and jealousy! MARK

Shocking to see such such a lack of empathy for other people's personal mental health 'triggers' being displayed by a teacher of all people! o_O Unfortunately, this has been a recurring theme throughout this pandemic - people who can cope with the restrictions belittling those who can't...

OK, boomer! <:D Access to National Trust tearooms?? MARK

Absolutely correct, but as a reminder the guidance changes next Monday (March 8th) with 'exercise' replaced by 'outdoor recreation' and also permits for the first time this year meeting up outdoors with one person not from your household or bubble. 'Outdoor recreation' is not specifically...

£22 million for a Christing footbridge?! o_O :rolleyes: MARK

The last GB service (spoil from Cricklewood) stopped running a year or so ago, IIRC. MARK

So how *do* we bolster NHS critical care capacity in readiness for 'Covid24' or some other future public health crisis? MARK
