the 4in8 rovers are valid, and of course the ALRs are valid

Which members of staff will be out and about this weekend?
Am thinking of joining at Northallerton for a short and brief journey to York.

None of the Powercars have been MTU'd yet.

The amount of slack on today's timetables, I'm not surprised the HST made time up

Sorry to hear this mate =\ what happened?

 

[BOSCH]

Sorry to hear this mate =\ what happened?

43068 has decided to "misbehave".I dont have the full details but it terminated at p/boro and is now coming back north as 5A62 so there will be no 08.04 ex KX tomorrow !!! 43123 is at heaton but I think its on an exam so may or not be on 1230 ex s/land so possible contingent timetable YET AGAIN tomorrow,who knows !!

 

[class 313]

This is really taking the **** now, when will you guys have a break!?

Hahahah, would be scary if that actually went on

 

[andylloyd]

saw 068 on ecs movement from heaton to sunderland.
Obviously the fault was rectified.

Have seen that is already late and will be delayed more by a signalling fault @ stoke. ATM everything south is on the slows

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Just got home off the early turn, and we sailed through Stoke no problem in both directions...

 

[Royston Vasey]

wnxx.com reports 43067 finally returned from Brush... believe that's 6 out of 6?

And about time too !! correct that is 6 out of 6 !

 

[16CSVT2700]

Shoulda gone for the 180s when they were made available then!

On a serious note.. why all the failures? Cack "refurbishment"??

 

[Royston Vasey]

067 went in at the same time as 068! Were there complications or was one fast tracked over the other??

The 8:04 from King Cross left on time but never made it to York this morning. Did the 16:50 run tonight? Anyone know what the problem was?

 

[1D53]

It failed about Peterborough taking pretty much the whole ECML out. 1650 was cancelled throughout tonight.
