EH ? :???::???::???:

Now now First Im sure clagalot is as disappointed as I am that the trains wont be ready but if they aint ready they aint ready simple as that,Im sure it will be worth the wait in the end !! ;);)

I was going to say look at what diligent dave posted regards your contingent timetable but it appears moderator has removed it ! cant say I blame him,it did appear to me to be of a sensitive nature !! :-)

Which means that if they keep arriving at the current rate of at least 1 a week puts you well into next year before all sets are complete,sorry to say it clag,I've defended GC to the hilt but that aint acceptable is it really,looks like what jb95 posted is going to be correct,your new MD has...

In the words of Smashie n Nicey "Errrr,ye not wrong there mate" (apologies to H.Enfield Esq !) ;);) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- But you dont know when !! :smile:;-)

They did have 3 TGS allocated to them but decided not to put them in the formation for some strange reason,GC poster maybe_idontknow posted way way back about turning them into a TGF in the future,pity as to be a "proper" HST it needs a TGS IMHO !! ;);)

So what are they for then ? :-?:-?

Dave,i take it that you must be in a position of authority within Grand Central then ? ;)

Cheers for that :wink:

M8,have your "contacts" at Grand Central(no abbreviation,just for you)not given you any hint of a start date then,I know you keep referring to the ORR website as an information source but I thought you were "well in" with a couple of directors ! :? Also,how come a Loss Prevention Officer gets...

Oooh,touchy lol ! :lol: That would have been RAIL mag you were looking at then under the heading "Black Beauty" ! If you see the paint job you would realise that statement is well wide of the mark my friend ! :lol:

Yes m8,I'm looking forward to meeting you as well,I've read so much about you.:p

Curses,foiled again by the admin overlord,lol ! :-o

Im in total agreement with you clag,but be careful,m8 will have you in detention for back chatting !! :lol:;)

Cheers Coxster,I agree,it had got rather silly after my original post !:smile:

Yep,seeing the HST & MKIV at kings x in the intercity livery brings it back,a livery i much preferred to be honest ! ;)

You have just made my point,the meet and greet that you have never seen is because they dont do it,stand at the train door on arrival at a station to "meet and greet" new passengers i.e "good morning sir,how are you" ! Its the basics,no meet and greet automatically gives the wrong impression of...

I have just read the latest news on the Grand Central website and it has a letter from the new MD Tom Clift on it,after reading it i am most impressed by what he has to say,nice to read a bit of "honesty" for a change.I have spoken with a couple of Grand Central employees recently and they say...

Yes,I've heard the paint job on the power cars leaves a lot to be desired as well and as for the cant rail missing am sure heaton will add to their list of things to do(that ESG/MARCROFT et al forgot to do !). Did you share any of m8's wisdom with your managers today then,cos remember,he's...

Its not just signalling wise,the track bed does not extend right the way round that bend that you see from the metro,therefore you are probably looking at a good stretch of track that needs replacing,the track that is there now has been unused for several years,pre metro even.IMHO it would be...
