[87015]

90020/039 (top and tail mode) viewed at New St 2215 last night presume had been out all day and worked in on 2024 off Manchester. Seem to be out fairly solidly at the moment-were also viewed on Friday on 17xx arrival at New St

Hope its of interest to someone

Anglia TSO 3277 part of shortened formation yesterday, also seeing the return of the infamous DVT...

We aren't taking bets on it lasting beyond the weekend going on previous 'repairs'...

 

[AlexS]

Out today working alright, 90020 at the helm with 'Damien The DVT' on the rear.

 

[Guinness]

It was in 5 Car Formation today, so another TSO must of been sourced from somewhere. DVT 82128. So it's not failed!

It failed yesterday on the 1524 according to a mate, not able to check what the fault is though, back out today though...

 

[Jordy]

Whats wrong with this DVT then...?

 

[David]

Whats wrong with this DVT then...?

It's probably quicker and easier to list what's right with it....

 

[1VWC]

Whats wrong with this DVT then...?

TDM related issues most of the time...

Probably doesn't help that it hasn't seen any proper attention since VWC days...

...not bad going, its lasted all of 8 days. Gone bang again with TDM probs.

90018 now t+t with 90020.

The Anglia FO has been replaced also.

I checked at Picc yesterday (at about 0930) and it was NOT there, so Im assume didnt form the 1024....

Today, it was in "normal" formation with DVT+full VT colours mk2s+90020. It performed faultlessly between Manchester & Stockport.... (i did a desparate move - first British lhcs of the year )
What happend to the ex-Anglia "dbso" rumour.... all thru' summer it was rumoured that Riviera's dbso would make an appearance on driver training runs on the XC.. but it never materialised.....

Oh, and one of Dave Warby's "solid seven crew" was on the skoda today... it seems the seven men are beggining to dabble in the dark side now - I even saw Snr. Voakes on the skoda a couple of weeks back!! hock:

90020 out yesterday.
Rejected by myself!

[matt]

Seems to be back out fairly regularly now

 

[1VWC]

But not today...

 

[1VWC]

Out today...

The DVT has been battered well this time! Touch wood!

 

[metrocammel]

But not today...

It NEVER seems to come out on bloody Tuesday!!! :angry4: I'm sure someone in VT control knows I finish college early on Tuesdays....and makes sure it doesnt come on on Tuesdays on purpose!! hock: "Mr. Mini Voakes" perhaps...?!

He's West Coast, nothing to do with XC. Mr Boden may be a better bet!
