    That's undercoat i think, personally speaking I'm hoping for lined experimental blue which was a darker hue than the express passenger blue, but, with the black and white lining I don't really mind, but Blue Peter in a blue livery with early tender transfer, would look right, and make it noticeable, to the general public,

    Not just you - there's a thread in General Chat about the issues that the Admin team are working on. No need to fork out anything on a new PC or repair diagnostics just yet!

    Don't disagree
    It was just a record shot, in 2024 compromise is what it is, conveniently the sign hid some white builders bags left by the lineside (and I did exclude the yellow armco beyond the right of the shot :)) .

    This morning RTT showed a Crewe to Kidderminster ecs movement at the start of what looks like busy week for LSL.
    So purely out of curiosity I went to see having expected just light engine moves for the gala.
    37409 (built 1965 as D6970 at Vulcan Foundry) turned up with a mixture of blood and custard and Statesman coaches.

    _24Z1971 37409 Penkridge 130524 (Crewe to Kidderminster SVR).jpg

    and later this week

    Wednesday Bristol to Crewe
    https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U11727/2024-05-15/detailed I assume Braunton returning after the Tuesday Marches

    Thursday the Coton Hill Q paths are set to VAR.

    If only the vehicles were more in keeping !
    34046 heading home past Yorton after yesterday's Welsh Marches.

    The next one is two weeks tomorrow, I'm looking out for what goes to Bristol for that one.
