    A York - Carnforth move has just set off at 0920. This **may** have 5972 & 46115, but I cannot confirm. Running as 5Z57, times are on RTT.

    The Southall gang can sort them out soon enough - so long as the firebox is fixed and she's ready for a few months of reliable of operations...

    Only when those West Country bumpkins break it again give them any thing more powerful than a donkey and cart and they can't cope

    While we are talking Tangmere, I hope that if and when City of Wells goes mainline that she remains close to her base.

    I believe it's a demic coach that caused Compass Tours a great deal of trouble at the weekend when on a return from Dundee to Spondon, it suffered some problem somewhere near Milford resulting in it being shunted out of the train, which then had to return to York owing to engineering possessions. Passengers were then taken home by bus and taxi. Rumour has it that it was damage to a coaches brake piping.
