    I only said "according to "........................................................ if she aint there she aint there, yet!

    So presumably still sat at Southall, and they'd be cutting it fine for jobs to be done before the 10th, so maybe after? i.e. run LE down to Alton after returning to the Cross...........................................

    Fair do's, but as yet nothing has been activated on RTT, certainly not up to next Tuesday.

    For what ever reason FTR failure, diesel/crew shortage, who knows, she gets there when she gets there!
