It appears some people are just voting for 444s for the sake to **** Tom off. I may be wrong. But that is an un-fair judgement of what should be a un-nanimous resilt.

Think of it like this... his attitude changes our oppinions on trains so we see all the fuss over one train and think cow this for a game, stick to the sane world. Or something along those lines.
Guys, you've done me proud
Loads Shotgun to all the people in the list :laughing: :toothy10:

Except this was out of interest between Tom and myself, he likes 442s and i like 444s. We wanted to see what the forum thought, so who voted because they actually really like 444s?

Quotin my other thing i said, only about 20 people give a monkeys about it, just people are doing it because of the fuss, anyone would go on a loco train over these.

Only very slightly more reliable, 442s are the second most reliable EMU in the country (which makes them the most reliable DC EMU)... I must agree though - some of the voters are actually just voting 444 to take the ****...

Could say the same about you...Changing my name to GNERfan, I am disgusted and outraged...
I'm going to have to say the following:
I HATE GNER.
I will also say this:
444s RULE! 442s SUCK

Well personally I think they are all crap,they don't even have engines FFS! I would rather drive a 153 than the fake ass hornby style lecky units ( which is handy because I do!:thefinge: )
Infact even though I hate them I would actually put 175's before them as well.:toothy10:
As for Despiso's..nah you can keep them as well.
Sorry but diesels & AC electrics for me thanks.(no that doesnt include a Despiso with the pan up)

LOL I can make my Lima 47's make that noise ,if I put around 24 volts through them!
Also laughing at the fact they had to uncouple them manually!
But surely that's just part of the fun

I was doing what I do best, being ambiguous. To the extent that I was saying you are an obsessed loon because you can't stand that I hate GNER, so changed my username to GNERfan.
As it is now, I am now aware that you were not responsible. The 'obsessed loon' thing still stands as you love the 442s to bits! Can't see why, but hey.
Sorry that I couldn't be there to defend the 444s with you today Nathan, but I could not stand the idea of spending so much of my hard-earned final wages from work on bashing 442s! I'd rather throw up violently...:thefinge:

Thats ok, I did take alot of beats for us though (Tom doesn't count his shots were weak and Gizmogle didn't lift a finger at me) but im still standing. I only had to spend £5 for Parkstone to Weymouth, its understandable that you could'nt come and regardless of that I did get my Celabratory 444 bash!

Yes, your "444 bash" was 1 bash which consisted of 4 minutes...

Almost pointless...Even I've managed to do longer than that...Havant - Petersfield and Petersfield - Waterloo (changed there to get a fast 444 to London. Track circuit failure/points failure (whichever it was) at Waterloo slowed us right down though!).

He was hoping to have a return bash but the 442s prevailed and RAN the service!!!!

Oh dear...
Still, this was the last (for now at least) day of 442s, so bring on the domination of that line with 444s! Decent traction, at last!
