There seems to be a severe shortage of rolling stock, class 158 and 159, today and this week. Some trains only 2 coaches instead of 6. My partner could not board a train at Axminster this morning. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I saw 016 yesterday at Birkenhead North depot attached to 001, about 11am. When I went past about 30 minutes later, they has uncoupled and 001 entered service on the West Kirby circuit. There was no sign of 016, so maybe in the shed?
838 & 853 doing the business this afternoon, looking cleaner and better cared for than many more modern trains around the country. A credit to those that look after this rolling stock. Good for another 40 years!!
338 & 504 were coupled together for most, if not all of last week. I was lucky enough to travel on 338 at least three times last week, twice on Cambridge workings and once on the Hertford East link.
Good news for the railway. What a shame that I'm going to get very little refunded, if anything, from my train driver experience which I paid a lot of money for in 2019. The current "Trust" do not seem very concerned about the customers who have lost significant amounts of money.
The DMU experience at the Llangollen Railway is excellent and under £300. If you're lucky enough to get the first slot, you can walk to the depot from Llangollen station with the driver and help prepare the unit for service. The DMU guys are very friendly and informative. Can't recommend this...
Keep the list coming, it's interesting to read. My only positive feedback is that the green colour you use for certain units, e.g. 142001, is virtually impossible to read. It would be great if you could change that colour.
