    GW 769s to Scotrail?

    The paths only go as far a Barassie Jn then back up the branch to Barclays, RTT doesn't show any other intermediate timing points because there are none. One of the sets is currently sitting half outside Caledonia works in unbranded Scotrail blue.

    "Two male youths, aged 17 and 13, have been arrested and charged in connection with fire-raising following station hotel fire". A 17 year old was charged with arson for the earlier fire, wonder if it's the same youth?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Gents, thanks for the replies - I've had another look at a couple of weeks ago (16th) when it went east coast albeit from Kings Cross (couldn't find it earlier as I forgot it used a different headcode - 1S72) It only stopped at Carstairs for 4 mins (54 early arriving - 74 early leaving) and got...

However it's still booked to...

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    Brodies were not Hunslet Barclays. Wabtec have taken over the Barclays operation (aquired from Brush a number of years ago). Brodie Engineering built a purpose built depot across from the wabtec site in the former Network Rail Bonnyton sidings. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
