One thing to note on either 107 or 109 (can't remember which one, although I'm inclined to go with 109) is that they've left the front skirt under the buffers the GNER dark blue colour while the rest of the loco' is in the new East Coast silver. Looks ridiculous!

Nice. :)

Sadly not! :cry:

My apologies, I'll rephrase it. It makes some of them sound thick. :lol: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Hey that's my hometown! It's got some lovely areas!!

I'm from the North, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere 'darn sarf'. I take particular offence from the OP that says we have "stupid accents". :evil: Whenever I go to London I feel like a foreigner in my own country. What about those people with broad cockney accents that make themselves...

York TPE Drivers/Conductors no longer sign the route to Halifax and Bradford, only as far as Brighouse then back 'round to Huddersfield.

"Dyserth Road" was quite famous for being a modern depot layout. Reasonably clean tho, rather than grubby. :lol:

This is usually after the train has passed it's last signal before entering the platform/station.

Yeah me too. *Shudders* :|

This story has intrigued me. What exactly is a 'terrible grin' do we think? Are we talking a lopsided cheeky smile, or a 'I'm going to stab you to death' evil sort of grin?

Certainly one of the ex-TPE 158s had this. Think it was 813?
