With the rain, Tuesday Patchway up portal was shut due to rain. What on earth will Friday bring I wonder.
011 was the bad one as well as 012 as 011 hadn’t worked much at all last year. Only 008 has been on passenger work so far this year out of the DRS liveried ones.
It doesn’t matter about the fuel consumption really as XC is all diesel. And if you if it was FGW then running an expensive train can’t be helped unless you don’t run a train at all. But it’s a public service they’re running.
It’s only because it’s London. If it was Birmingham they wouldn’t bother but New Street station is a lot worse for pollution and more people use the station. But hay obviously the capital is more important and a bigger concern to people clearly.
It would be interesting to see what Roger Ford has to say about all of this. The politician’s haven’t read anything about the subject they are on about clearly. The 68’s have the most updated Diesel engines and emission regulations. Compare that to 30 odd year old 165’s and 20 off year old 168’s...
