    Old Dalby Saved

    Fair Use Extract: http://www.therailwaycentre.com/ Excellent News. Will Metronet keep the OHLE however? Would be ideal for future testing such as Regenerative Braking with c2c 357s that recently went to Czech Republic.

    On VT Yahoo Group this morning. I suppose new XC will remove these problems once there is less pressure on Bombardier (Contract for VT to maintain 220/221s) and Virgin because of the less trains that are supposedly required for daily service. Anyone have an exact figure on sets required...
