How about East Anglia or What about having a Private Charter HST ?

Hiring our own HST would be a good idea, but the costs would be immense...

Sam

 

[Gizmogle]

Yeah. Although, it does make me wonder how much it would be! Not the whole HST, but just a coach perhaps.

 

[John_158]

Prehaps anyone whom works for one of the Operators with HSTs would be able to get it at Staff Rates prehps Grand Central Thogh may be the Best to approch.

Not so much a HST but still a Loco Haulge ATWs Mk3 Coaches Hauled By there Class 57 they may do us a good rate on hiring it out as it doent do much on a Saturday.

 

[Gizmogle]

Yeah...

"Hello, I'd like Coach G" *Shows priv*

 

[John_158]

Yah "G" for Gizmogle

Considering the astronimical cost of the WAG express, very unlikely. Also remember that you have to pay for paths, and there is no safety case!

What do you mean by - astronimical cost of the WAG express -

 

[Gizmogle]

Well, would you like to pay for a 57, rake of mk3s and the paths!?

Well, its not a single person paying for it now. :roll:

 

[Gizmogle]

It'll still be a lot of money! Alotta alotta money!

 

[Ilove165's]

Look, unless someone wins the lottery, it aint gonna happen...

I think astronomical cost is fairly self explanatory?

 

[P156KWJ]

if you get a quote from somewhere like WCRC for some 47s and mk2s that's dear. But hiring an HST from a mainline TOC with none spare would take the biscuit.

ah so I'm not being stupid then, thought it was self explanatory too!

 

[Gizmogle]

I like biscuits.

 

[P156KWJ]

well if you go first class you might get some free ones

 

[Pumbaa]

well if you go first class you might get some free ones

That'll be extra though on top of the locos, stock, paths...

 

[P156KWJ]

oh are we still going on about private hire?

 

[Gizmogle]

We'd only need one coach though. So it'd be ATW 57 and one mk3! Wouldn't we look stupid in that!

 

[Craig]

Run along decent route and operate the rest of the coaches as a railtour to offset the cost of hiring the train a bit

Anything for you Gizmogle

[laseandre]

I second Loader's sentiment.

 

[Gizmogle]

I third it!!

Fourthed...

Fifthed...

Looking at NXEC today though, they offer the service of hiring a train off them! See here, subheading "Charter a train"... Crikey!
