Am I right in thinking this has to be Class 20s/37s?
[SIZE=-1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Are 47s banned from the Oban line?

Most likely to be WCRC 37s.

I think Oban is still RA5 restricted but heard murmuring it might be U-22 rancidness.

Most likely to be WCRC 37s.

The man may be right

SRPS are very bad at advertising traction. Which is a shame because the one SRPS tour I've been on was an absolute cracker (and even trumpeted loud its traction of 40145).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, operators who don't advertise traction look like they're trying to hide something. Like duffs. Or skips.

Or maybe they have not confirmed it yet so are not yet advertising, the tour is 4 months away, which is loads of time to book accomadation when the traction is announced. Anyway with this tour going to Oban there is going to be no hidden 47 or 67 suprise is there 4SRKT??

True enough. I meant in general though, not advertising is bad practice because for at least some potential participants the traction is a big draw.
