This train will call at Parkstone, Brockenhurst, Vauxhall and terminate at Poole!!!!
Oh Yeah fantstic. Although it does not say it stops at Eastleigh it did so that was handy for me.

In the case of 66521 it was uneconomical to reapir. It was a right off. The only 66 that is currently in bits is 66031 at Toton without a power unit and other internals.

No freightliner's 66521 was the only one that was written off and scrapped No parts were servicable from it. Although EWS have a66 thats currently dumped at Toton its 66031 which blew its power unit some months ago and has no internals. I beleive its waiting for a new one but I think it will...
At Poole we have clear plastic bags on some sort of rubber loop that gets used bt passengers about 75% of them. It would be nice if SWT put bins like that up there (and a seat) for when we get the good weather as well.
Most of my rubbish (eep) goes trackside or in my bag for when I get on the...
Some of them were unnservicable but as per SWT trains contract they had to be returned to store in a running state. Thats why some of them only left the demo when the parts they needed were replaced. Most of the re-viynl ones had mechanical attention done to them whilst at Ilford. Not all of...

The interior job is supposed to be done at Eastleigh. The 4 us lot down here have only been mentioned over the last few weeks. But I dont like Rail anyway.... they are too political!!

Would be nice to see / hear 2405 again as she sounded a bit alrite.
Although This Set sounds ok as well. With thanks to James Mayl. Bearing in mind though I think This pair sound good as well.
It could well be that its the 3 white ones and possibly 1 ex SWT that are used. but that remains to...
Apparently the plan is to have 4 pigs run shuttles between Bournemouth and Weymouth. Thats what I have been told...please dont shoot the meesenger!!

I beleive most of them would have expired by next year shouldnt they, February I was told. But seeing as there are so many drivers (and guards) trained to use the 442's its only been a few months ( ok nine) then it should be pretty easy to pick up where they left off.....kind of.
Also would...
