It was still there last night too.

It's still there today, recovery proving rather troublesome I'm told. Not just the 59 that's in the dirt either, first three wagons also off.

Rather depends what kind of day out you want doesn't it?

Yeah they do - the one in the ad.

Wrong and err....wrong. Union still not happy with the units, and some have already been handed over having completed their running in turns.

Yes, it's the only one SWR own that actually works. Allegedly.

That's one way to get a rapid charge up I guess.

You seem to have forgotten that someone DID come along and fit new power units to the HST power cars! I believe that had a lot to do with a certain Bob Tiller, who was also behind the GBRf class 73/9 and class 69 traction re-package programme .

Err - where did you hear that? Certainly not from GBRf! They aren't 66s, hence traction knowledge is a totally different package. At least 'some' will be outstationed permanently at Tonbridge, others elsewhere. Expect to see the 69's finish off the last of the 56s (081/098/312) which will head...

So, have you got "Sean" sacked yet? That presumably was the OP's ultimate wish?

701037 is at Eastleigh as well.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to see it - it's only off to Eastleigh for a spot of pigment. As for special liveries, Eastleigh is getting a name for those lately.:D

They're already full of crap (software)

Clearly not!

On the railway grapevine. All 701 test trips yesterday and today cancelled, so it appears there's some truth to it. 1642587471 Well that's interesting.

Hearing that the 701 fleet (such as it is) has been grounded. Anyone else heard anything about that?

They 100% are GBRf locos now. Also 100% are the knackered wheelsets under both locos. You won't see them doing anything for GB till something has been done about those.

Didn't know that! Every days a school day. Of course, no reason the BLS couldn't use a unit I guess - devil's advocate time.
