    Not sure you'd like the 142004 set, it has 3 by 2 bench seats! :eek: Almost anything would be an improvement on those!:)

    We're quite lucky in that we haven't any cables between High Rocks and Groombridge that need to go over the bridge. It is rather a plain structure that'll now be gradually paid off over two years and fade into memory as a significant project...

    Yes, I was on the 10:05. And enjoying a beer* at Glyndyfrdwy as the Brakevan train departed towards Llangollen. Late running trains meant a longish wait at Glyn for the next train to Llang, but there are worse places to wait.:D Classic bus ride...
