A few people have listed some of the many reasons First Generation vehicles had become undesirable by their time of withdrawal (heaters, asbestos...
Are you sure? The last 101's left Glasgow three years earlier. Sent from my HTC U Play using Tapatalk
What is very cruel is to sit in the NNR station with the railcar carrying "Norwich" on the destination blind! Much kinder to have more sensible...
Shall we rename the two stations Temple Meads and Parkway to avoid confusion in the future?!? Every year the NNR station still gets Norwich...
Absolutely nuts, but one can't deny there's plenty of air braked stock already on the railway just waiting for 41001 to pull! Sent from my HTC U...
The NRM have been part of a lot of agreements in the past that involve other organisations putting up the cash to do x y and z to their locos or...

It is lubricated when cutting, but I think it chatters very slightly anyway, partly due to the fact that the thing is about 500 years old now! You...
