    Dragging a dead HST?

    There was an interesting video on YouTube from Network Rail showing how to use a 67 on thunderbird duties and I am sure it used a HST for one segment. I can sadly not find it now though :(

    Nearly new 66's for GBRF.

    Will they be changing the light units on these or will they stay the same? Would be good if they keep them the same as I think they look smart.

    class 70s

    Magic, thanks for that. I will see if I can see this somewhere and get film/photos. I assume it would go?: Crewe - Stoke-On-Trent - Uttoxeter - Barrow-On-Trent - Long Eaton - Loughborough this is a guess as it looks the most direct. Is this correct.

    Royal Train to Leicester

    Be good if I could see the train in use (knowing my luck she will be travelling EMT). I asked the route as there is a couple of possibles, and I would love to be at the right one.
