    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Hi, probably a bit late for this query. I was at Teignmouth 3rd June 10:08am and saw top and tail 47s and a rake of Choc&Cream coaches heading for NTA. Would anyone know what this train was? Many thanks, Graeme

    WCML New Rolling Stock Discussion

    What's wrong with ordering more 80x's? They have one major advantage over almost every new train introduced recently - they work!
