    The type 4 sounded good powering out of Shrewsbury this morning, not sure it needed the castles at the other end as back up....

    Yep, the Sulzer was operating in engaged mode at Strawmoor Lane, Codsall and on the climb past Dorrington - fire risk aversion perhaps?

    Agree entirely and worth remembering the SVR suffered line side fires at their diesel gala in the same neck of the woods a fortnight ago - there has been no significant rain since and the temperature is in the high 20's today.
