The centre car was taken by road to Long Marston, where it is understood it will be used for R&D purposes’. - apologies for the unit mix up in the last comment. Maybe Southeastern are looking to turn it into a...

    Sadly it appears that this forum thread may be in last week of service too gentlemen! I did my last run on 202 last week, sorry to have missed 216 today. I can’t fathom the idiocy of folk taking things from the train...safety issue first and foremost! Enjoy the tour on Wednesday

    Morning all, popped over to the Caley Tesco earlier this morning. No sign of 203 in the forlorn looking yard but rather a long road-haulage hearse was parked ominously outside the sheds.What about the previous discussion regarding a reprint of one of the units? Time is running out...

    Wonder where 203 is lurking these days? I've given a half a thought to it being quietly repainted into 'Intercity Swallow' to commemorate it's final few months in service...

    I recall the introduction of the 334s on the Inverclyde and Ayr runs circa 2002/3. Anyone remember the vivid SPT livery? Decent units if memory serves me correctly.

    Crewe diesel depot open day, 08/06/19...Starring a Pacer!

    I’m in agreement with the tight squeezing at the stalls, but an excellent day all round. It was great to pop over to the heritage centre too - the reclining seats in the APT were reason enough not to mothball what would have been a fantastic piece of engineering. I got chatting to a someone who...
