I have not seen any pictures yet but did the Loco and container flats stay upright? Good to hear the driver is OK.

As a driver working for First Eastern Counties working out of Vulcan Rd depot in Norwich I can honestly say we have not had any info from the company on our position if any of this comes off. I take no news as good news for now!

Yes it does, They will put you through the driving school and teach you how to pass a PCV test then once you have passed and get let loose with a service bus then you really start learning!

You should be fine, the first 20 years are the hardest. :lol:

Very lucky the unit stayed upright! With the mouth wall of the tunnel there it could have been much much worse! Recovery will be awkward with both trains inside the tunnel though.

Sky News saying this is around the Hunton Bridge area just Sth of Kings Langley, the tunnel seperation of fast and slow lines is further south from there so a bit confusing as to where it actually is!

I can remember 58's on the 6P40/6A33 North Walsham condensate tank workings on the Cromer/Sheringham branch!

Gaffa tape is indeed the repair material of choice for them, there is one at Stansted running about with the N/S/R corner panel held on with the stuff!

It is essentially Terriblevision with the same coaches and lunatics driving them but with "Stansted Transport" legals on them and operating with City Link apparently.Time will tell but VOSA are already "hunting" them, thankfully, and all power to them!

All Owned Ops generally have a Wayfarer 3 fitted but we are now converting over to the cradle/hand held OBT machines.

We get a lot of local journeys on the 727 between Mildenhall - Newmarket and Cambridge. We sell 10 trip tickets for these journeys and carry at least 6 or 7 every morning!

The forward facing camera mounted on the back of the instrument binnacle is the supply for the screen in the top of the interior roof facing the passengers, it was put in to combat travel sickness on Mk2 Levantes onwards, I turn it off when it gets dark as it creates a flickering in my...

Neither do I ! Had to work here with them operating and have seen 1st hand how it was done.

Apparently police already involved with this!

That is the car pick up/drop off point! cannot see the police putting up with this for very long! God knows where the coaches work from as they were slung out of Mid-stay on Weds eve at 5pm! Absolute cowboys, good riddance.
