    I'm not much of a fan of it either to be honest, but that's not going to stop me booking on tours with it or going to see it. It's fantastic to have it back on the mainline once again.

    There is every point in having a diesel there, it means the journey can be completed without the need for a water stop, the two locos only need the one path to get them home. No loco, unless the rods are removed, will be hauled on the main line...
