Damon, one of TheSlash's hiding places is the end of the car park outside overline house, towards Southampton tunnel.

Well i took a selection of my vehicles past Overline house today and Coxster missed the lot :D
I was bombing round in the on-call van this morning, then the transit at lunchtime {saw a 73 and blue CIG, twice :D} then the flatbed this afternoon.

Surely you mean the blue VEP (or the blue and grey CIG). As for me missing you, you left the area when I was on the station - just 1 minute behind you!

One being a Network Rail van with a huge dent in the side after you drove it into a gatepost...

I've heard you're a desperate gripper, Coxster? ;)
It's fun - two in just the space of 10 minutes and it wasn't even a peak service!

Simulator report up. Wish I had one! :mrgreen:

The woman's name? I cannot remember. It began with an 'M' IIRC.

As are the overhead AC 360s, 360/2s and of course the diesel Class 185s ;)

The sims are 450s (fictional 450199 was mine IIRC) although the driving experience isn't much different, or so I'm told. You obviously have the extra coach etc in the 444s.

I see Damon. Well, I hope it was good in the simulator - I bet it was! :p I may get Work Experience at TPE or Northern.
