I finaly have internet access again....ive not read this entire thread so i dont know if this has been posted, but training of the driver trainers has started on the East Manchester Line, i noted 3001, 17 and 38 yesterday, Il grab some pics tomorrow.

What about remote places on the West highland line? like the 66 that came off recently and the driver had to be air lifted, if that was a service train, theyd all have to be airlifted.... Im not saying theyd be airlifted near this station by the way....
