Yeah I thought I’d heard it somewhere aha. I’m currently trying to get the right balance between keeping my head in the sand until we hear anymore, and following every single bit of information about VTEC and Hitachi possible...

I live near to Hitachi in Newton Aycliffe and there was a bit on the local news last night how they have imported 2 Azuma trains from Japan for training. It said they’re due to start the rollout from December this year, and for some reason I always had this down as June? Guess that would be as...
