Do heritage locos get fitted with DRA? The only that I’m aware of are ex-DRS 37s.Does anyone know what cab updates have been done to the peak? I'm expecting similar work as what was fitted to Andania (TPWS4, DRA etc.)
I believe a couple of LSL locos have them fitted. I know for definite Andania has one, and I think some or all of the 47s.Do heritage locos get fitted with DRA? The only that I’m aware of are ex-DRS 37s.

Nicce. Will be interesting to eventually see how that'll have been implemented within the PeakIt will be fitted with TPWS4 as that is the latest version of TPWS and I believe DRA is also a requirement these days. Of course OTMR and GSM-R will also have been fitted as required for main line use
Of course, the HF aspects of ’modernising’ a heritage cab only become a problem when somebody else is paying for it.The HF person in me says the labelling isn't really up to spec and the sizes of the lamps aren't consistent.
We also have yet another appearance of the completely ineffective lock wire on the DRA. Oh how we love them on the railway.
Quite.Of course, the HF aspects of ’modernising’ a heritage cab only become a problem when somebody else is paying for it.
Maybe I’m being dim, but could someone clarify what HF stands for in this context, please?Quite.
Doesn't mean that the clients' clients' client actually understands HF though.
Human Factors, I assume.Maybe I’m being dim, but could someone clarify what HF stands for in this context, please?

I did understand that one, but can someone please explain "DRA"?Maybe I’m being dim, but could someone clarify what HF stands for in this context, please?

Proper bargain is what it is, not my cup of tea but hopefully it will fill and it works for them£80, isn't that less than a regular ticket
Wow that is fantastic value! Thanks for the heads up, may indeed put my name down for this. One to be quick on though, I'll safely expect a sell-out very quicklyThere are a couple of new tours up for booking 7th September Crewe to Cardiff via HOW back via lickey 2 x 37/4 for the frankly amazing price of £80 standard and the 47/7 Crewe to Edinburgh via lanark and the sub etc, next day tweedbank North Berwick, leven and the line through Alloa, again mega bargain £165 for a two day tour unbelievable price but accommodation in Edinburgh is the issue leave Edinburgh Sunday morning at 0840, not early but too early to get there from Glasgow on a Sunday. I stayed at Edinburgh premier inn the other day before the 57 tour and it was £69 the Saturday night for this is £178 wow
Yes, excellent prices, decent itineraries with a short set, bound to fill. I've booked on the Heart of Wales one now It's also great to see them offering more tours with the Intercity brand.Wow that is fantastic value! Thanks for the heads up, may indeed put my name down for this. One to be quick on though, I'll safely expect a sell-out very quickly
Any idea what is going on with 45118 currently, still not had an update since it was said to leave BH by the end of this month
It was stated on this forum that it was going to Crewe at the end of APRILIf it's due to leave Barrow Hill by the end of this month then there's still four weeks before that's due to happen. What further update do you need?
