Hi guys, calling any Yeovil, or former Yeovil-based, ex-train spotters and/or rail enthusiasts and/or former members of Yeovil Railway Circle, or anyone who may have been taking details of Class 33 diesels at Yeovil Pen Mill in the early 80s or actually at any time when 33s worked the Bristol to...

Aha, thanks :D

Okay, so just a campaign, nothing concrete as yet...

Okay, so basically, all there is in this is a petition and that's it, I am assuming from your answer? Nothing more solid than that? Fine. Move on to something else then...
