I never realised how hard it was to come up with a catchy title until now!
Anyway, after reading through a few trip reports here I have decided to have a go myself. The one I've settled on for now is a Central Scotland 3 in 7, as it gives me three days to complete the task I've set out. That being, to clear the set of Class 170s due to move to Southern for haulage. I believe someone else has done something incredibly similar quite recently but the name escapes me!
I haven't done it yet, so sorry to anyone who was expecting a story here, but it will be before the month is out (I was thinking either 16th-18th or 23rd to 25th) as the first 4 will move down on or before April 1st (not joking!).
If on the off chance I clear them on the second or even first day and have time to kill, Ill pop over to Glasgow and get started on the 314s, as they are likely to go in the next few years and who knows how long it'll take to clear them all for haulage!
That's where I'm at right now folks. Any advice or tips for spending a day or two on the rails would be much appreciated as this is the first time I'm doing anything like this.
Thanks,
Alex
