    Probably more true than you think. Someone's already mentioned elsewhere that the owners of 47580 must be raking it in.

    Just seen 60103 get shoved through Swindon. Literally not a peep from 60103, 47580 at full power.

    Ever thought 60103 is taking along a 'friend' along to get the train back up to line speed pronto, every time it has to slow down due to trespass?.................... how late would the train now be if it didn't have some Lena Loveage going on?..................

    So your theory is that WCRC are using the diesel so they have to pay the owners of 47580 for the privilege, ingenious....?

    The most likely reason has already been given. See #94. But don't let a mischievous comment get in the way of the probable facts.

    Here is the link to the BBC Midlands Today programme today. I guess being a daily news programme the link will be quite short-lasting. Piece starts at 20 mins 20 secs in.

    Edit: Sorry folks, try as I might, I cannot get the link to work. Apologies.

    Please go to BBC iplayer and search "Midlands Today".

    As the video didn't make the final cut, I thought I'd share it on here anyway, so you can see & hear the difficulties i'm having filming this loco at
    the moment ! My video of 46115 will be posted tomorrow evening, and it's well worth the wait. :)

    After just hearing about the 47 I really hope the we have a few class 8 locos back out on the mainline soon.

    Maybe high enough to mean the diesel does all the real work?

    The ground was close to bone dry over Chesire way and 46115 was near full throttle through Hargrave and there was nothing from the rear, so I'm not sure if it's a fire risk issue yet, as it's clear there was a different plan for Guardsman, in regards to assistance.
