@takno, will the new layout be added on Traksy?

BNH 250C, a Daimler CVG6 with Roe H59R bodywork and new to Northampton Transport in March 1965 was hit by a drunk driver in a Nissan Qashqai this week in Kettering. Initial photos show some rather nasty damage. Images copyright and credited to Tom Parnwell via the Facebook group “250 lives...

Aaaand it’s gone. Link to Wardle Restorations Facebook page below showing the remains of the cut-up brake van. Photos attached for those without Facebook (not my photos - source unknown but found on Facebook.) https://www.facebook.com/share/nytEn1KiLdS5HgKX/?mibextid=WC7FNe

I’ve been beaten to the answer, which is that the /2’s are more expensive to lease. Not just marginally, but massively more expensive than the other subclasses. Due to the way the world of financing works, it worked out far far cheaper to lease the new units to replace the /2’s. Which is...

I wouldn’t get out of bed for that. By the time 40% tax plus NI is taken off, it’s not worth the effort.

@dk1 don’t suppose you know, do you old chap?

Knaresborough for me

I’ve known somebody get dismissed from one of the ROSCO’s for breaching their social media policy in a not too dissimilar manner. I’d personally have nothing to do with it.

I dread to think what Motts Lane was scored before it was replaced with the bridge.

Change back at Claydon, or Ipswich?? 1696080958 I’ve been on a couple of wrong line trips Chelmsford to Church Lane that have involved overtaking in times of disruption.

There was a guy at the business end of Peterborough platform 3 yesterday giving paperwork to the handful of LNER drivers I saw that stopped there.

If you walk from the end of P4 to the end of P3 at Colchester, and back again, you’d have walked three quarters of a mile.

Must be a right bore having to wait time at places like Chelmsford and Colchester all the time.

You mean to tell me that getting Stadler units at NC wasn’t a career highlight? :p

I’m also in agreement. Plenty worse things to get wound up about.

Class 442 had a couple of prototype conversions in their lifespan. 2416 had its original hvac kit replaced with equipment from Liebherr that was fed directly from the third rail. It was mostly unreliable and one of the reasons for its earlier withdrawal under SWT. In the final weeks, it was...

Thought I’d give it a go. Mostly because at nearly 40, I thought I still had it. I was broken and slept until midday. I own my company so will just book a nice seaside hotel next time 8-)

I had to do a 7 hour job when I got to the client’s premises.

Amen to that. I’ll go and see my clients “just because” on occasion, and pretty much always come back with an order or a new project out of it. They all love the personal touch of face to face visits and being an MD of a technical company, I like getting away from the desk from time to time. On...

Ahh yea, you’re Norwich aren’t you.
