    These photos are probably the reason the nymr didn’t want to operate to Whitby during the diesel gala and I no they aren’t on the nymr but who can blame them for wanting to play safe and keep the problems in house?

    I'm no fool, I've done this for nearly 10yrs and I'm well aware that £14k loss is a loss but when you read constantly in the press about losses equating to hundreds of thousands I thought (wrongly) that some might like to hear that it isn't all...

    As 34072 is based at Tunbridge Wells West, we're not paying for it to come and go. The same if for example the Class 33 goes away on hire or when the Jinty last operated.
