    A spot of trivia - I wonder how long it is intended to retain the 'gangway' yellow panel for on one of the motor coaches? It was an experimental scheme and looks awkward to my eyes. Interesting to see for a while but I just wonder what people think of it.

    I captured the Hastings Unit running a few minutes late coasting down the hill from Aldershot station.
    Sods law was working well this morning. Perfect sunlit conditions just before the unit appeared and then a big cloud blocked out the sun just where I wanted to capture the unit! At least the horsebox was still in the sun :Banghead: Hastings Unit Green Lane 1.JPG

    Almost amusing that someone considers that horsebox's 'registration' to be adequate!

    I captured the return run of the Medstead Mountaineer this evening atop the hill at Aldershot after a brief snow shower. The unit was making a fair bit of noise climbing the hill and we even had a friendly toot from the driver:

    It was great to get back to the gricing today after two years off!

    Wish I’d clocked this thread sooner, as it would have explained the rumbling sound I heard a little earlier this evening.

    I do wonder at the point of a speed restriction differential of only 5mph there!

    If the Hastings buffet converted to a main line inspection saloon (and already in green livery!) could be acquired and converted back...
