Being (hideously) orange - how did that get an easement from ORR/RSSB to not have a safe working line aka a 'Cant rail' ??
Doesn't the white line offer that?Being (hideously) orange - how did that get an easement from ORR/RSSB to not have a safe working line aka a 'Cant rail' ??
It very much does have a Cant Rail.Being (hideously) orange - how did that get an easement from ORR/RSSB to not have a safe working line aka a 'Cant rail' ??
Cant rail is supposed to be orange. Just concerns me that long term there's a slippery slope where things like this are no longer considered important by the RSSB until there's an accident.Doesn't the white line offer that?
Choice of colours have changed over the years, given that the fly doors are no longer required to be yellow, does the change of colour to the Cant Rail really matter more?Cant rail is supposed to be orange.

Is it specifically being Orange important? Surely just being a clearly visible colour is all it needs to be.Cant rail is supposed to be orange. Just concerns me that long term there's a slippery slope where things like this are no longer considered important by the RSSB until there's an accident.
Anyone got confirmation of this being 024 please?Just saw this coming through Coventry on way to Bletchley:
Too far away to see number but could be 730024
As far as I know there are only the 2x LNWR units (101 & 103) parked at Crewe Arriva Traincare - both have recently been sat next to the WCML running lines so easily visible (although I've not been that way in a few weeks)Are there any of these usually parked up at Crewe that can be seen from the WCML?

730004+730024 were doing the Stafford-Nuneaton runs today. They have just returned to Oxley (saw this on the Bushbury Railcam).Anyone got confirmation of this being 024 please?
Most likely heading to Bletchley for driver training duties, the paths for training between Bletchley-Northampton-Rugby and back are beginning to appear it seems.730004+730024 were doing the Stafford-Nuneaton runs today. They have just returned to Oxley (saw this on the Bushbury Railcam).
Therefore it was two other units that went to Bletchley today.

I'm surprised they've been able to get the wheels to go round on this730103 is having a day out, Crewe to Kilburn and return
I thought that too but it was definitely moving at quite a good lickI'm surprised they've been able to get the wheels to go round on this
Definitely good to see them back out, but I won't panic too much about getting my final 350/2's just yet considering no more of the LNWR 730's are currently coming off the production lineI thought that too but it was definitely moving at quite a good lick
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think the priority is getting the 730/0s built, that’s what it seems like anyway.Definitely good to see them back out, but I won't panic too much about getting my final 350/2's just yet considering no more of the LNWR 730's are currently coming off the production line
I do wonder if after 730036 is built they start on the 730/1 construction, considering that the original order only had 36 /0s, building the extra /0s at a later date.Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think the priority is getting the 730/0s built, that’s what it seems like anyway.
