[395 Olympic Javelin]

Does anyone know what the main area of the Network Rail Loram Grinder do?

It has been at Hastings recently, stabled at paddock wood keyland sdgs under 6Z03 headcodes
I haven't seen it yet, only the 3 car Serco grinder.
It works everywhere really

They work all over the country

Does anyone know where they are now - how to find their schedules?

If, at night, you see what looks like a fireball coming towards you then one of the grinders is working near you

I never thought you'd make me laugh, but you achieved it right there.

There's at least 3 of the LORAM Rail Grinders in this country - They tend to do the Mainlines like GWML / WCML etc, While NR also has the use of the SPENO operated thing - that spends most of it's time on the Southern and is staffed by Italians (see Pizza boxes in the windows!), and the HARSCO operated RGH20C Switches and Crossings Grinders - The rather neat 2 car looking things. Admittedly like most rail plant, awful ride quality over jointed track though! (Y25 Freight Bogies).

There is one on the rtc at present for what I assume is maintenance work

Great idea, as long as I'm looking in the right direction! Thanks.
