Richard Clinnick advises a pathway for Units 001 and 003 to Oxley tomorrow (Thursday 2/2/2023) is scheduled after it was cancelled on Monday 30/1/2023 owing to "paperwork issues": https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03476/2023-02-02/detailed

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K05060/2023-01-30/detailed - With the light engine move pathway already posted I noticed this pathway running to Oxley later on in the day on Monday 30/1/2023.

I drove it this morning to London. First full 9 car ive seen and driven in passenger service. Notice the different colours on 005? The plain white paint rather than the silver vinyls as seen on the other 2 units? The passenger interior is better (refurbed) shame 1st class, and lack of "power...

It's apparently going to be this: http://www.keepingtrack.co.uk/railmanager/043/RMOL_43_24APR2006_E1.pdf Scroll down till about halfway.

444 for me :), Probably cos i'm used to them, but also due to the fact, I like how they sound, don't ask me why, just do. Although I do also like the 377 as, in some ways they are more reliable than Desiros and I believe they used much less power supply than the Desiros. Funny, i'm hopeless at...

Have any photos of this mysterious unit been posted anywhere? :s

So, the closure of Bomo TCD for maintenance is true then :(, also shame to hear about the 442's :(:(, I don't see why they should be rid of after just 18 years in service (Introduced May 1988 - around a year before I was born May 1989). I consider them to be very reliable traction for SWML...

Should FCC get 180's? My answer, simply is..... NO!

Shame, cos I know a bloke who is part of the AC Electric group and he told me how he wanted to save that loco. :(

I voted for HST's. There the best!
