43166 appears to be missing MML like the rest of us, it just refuses to work!

 

[devon_metro]

Must be the east coast

 

[richa2002]

Bring it home!

 

[Jordy]

Must be the east coast

Nah, it will be the thought of having to go to the South West

 

[devon_metro]

Explains why its in Cornwall right now then

 

[laseandre]

That's a contradiction if I ever saw one.

Nice, glad to see a quick return!

 

[BOSCH]

Nice, glad to see a quick return!

Would have been quicker had the crane lifting the power unit out not failed mid-lift and then having to wait for a spare part for said crane !!!:grin::grin:

 

[Jordy]

Oh dear

New unit sounding good?

 

[BOSCH]

Oh dear

Sounding very good,got her started up and then ets on to give batteries a bit of life and unit sounded very "aggressive"

Congrats with your drivers rules by the way!!! :grin:

 

[richa2002]

Excellent stuff Bosch. Well, 43057 was a worthy donor, an ex-MML beast .

Good news with 43068 that, shame 057 had to give her engine up but in the greater scheme of things I'm happier to see GC running. After all, I plan to travel with GC in a few weeks time!

 

[yorkie]

<p>is there a problem with todays 1730 SUN-KGX? still no report at NTR!!</p>

edit: saw it pass colton on time just after posting this. hardly a soul on board by the looks of it.

I saw it depart SUN and there must have been no more than 10-15 people board

The 1650 looked fairly empty when I saw it pass through south of York today.

I've heard from a contact that there's a group of rowdy people drinking on board the 1730 SUN-KGX now apparently, they are on NXEC AP tickets with no good excuse and refusing to pay for GC tickets. May require BTP at KGX.:neutral:

Well, the football season has started.

 

[BOSCH]

Well, the football season has started.

Lets hope it is dealt with swiftly,I know personally how things can escalate when drink is involved !!

 

[class 313]

Lets hope none of the coaches are damaged.

 

[yorkie]

they were given unpaid fare notices apparently. but I have heard actually collecting payment can be difficult

 

[Techniquest]

Any specific date ?

As soon as I know it, I'll let you know.

Spent too much money in the last 5 days so can't book my tickets now. Was planning to be in early September, but I've also got VWC drags to be doing in September and the final couple of AXC Summer Saturdays to be doing...A busy month ahead!

Nice video (not mine) of 20905 transferring 43068 either to or from Craigentinny here

That was from Craigentinny to heaton as I started 068 up on arrival at heaton that afternoon,:grin:

just thought I'd ask, is there any chance that one day, all normal NR fares will be valid on GC, such as Tyne & Tees day rangers?

As far as I know, GC accept all applicable rovers.
