It would be nice if SWT put bins like that up there (and a seat) for when we get the good weather as well. Most of my rubbish (eep) goes trackside or in my bag for when I get on the...

    Return of the Pig?

    Some of them were unnservicable but as per SWT trains contract they had to be returned to store in a running state. Thats why some of them only left the demo when the parts they needed were replaced. Most of the re-viynl ones had mechanical attention done to them whilst at Ilford. Not all of...

    Return of the Pig?

    Return of the Pig?

    I beleive most of them would have expired by next year shouldnt they, February I was told. But seeing as there are so many drivers (and guards) trained to use the 442's its only been a few months ( ok nine) then it should be pretty easy to pick up where they left off.....kind of. Also would...
