BOMO is to close in Feb 07 with the withdrawal of the 442s, 458s moving back to Reading, 450s on Pompey directs and 444s to Weymouth. I assume 421s will also disappear. Staff were told on Friday.
Only options would be South Eastern, Southern or Merseyrail. Out of those I'm not sure if any would want them. I doubt they'd even have clearence in the Liverpool tunnels so that's a no-no!And why get rid of the 442's? And will anyone take them over?
Just another side of the triangle goingR.I.P. Bournemouth West Branch.
Like the Ramsgate to Weymouth tour last year? We did a meet on that.A farewell railtour to Ramsgate is under investigation
I think a test run was carried out in 1991 for their new home.Only options would be South Eastern, Southern or Merseyrail. Out of those I'm not sure if any would want them. I doubt they'd even have clearence in the Liverpool tunnels so that's a no-no!
I'm sure the third side is here to stay for a good time yet!
The 421s will only be a very temporary measure if Bomo closes all routine maintenance, why I hear you ask? Once one of them has gone, none of the chaps there will probably have the knowledge to fix it.
Slash? Fix? HA!Send the Slash in to fix it!!
Slash? Fix? HA!I think his Dad may be the better option

Us Pompey supporters stick together. If you dis Slash we will be round to sort you out. I understand outside Farnborough Co-op is your normal hang-out.
