    I'd be concerned, beyond fixing the immediate damage with 70000, towards an underlying cause... a bit of head scratching and at least one test run before going back on a service i should think

    It is. Your correct. There's a separate path on a different day (can't remember when) for a LSL movement from Southall to WSR which I assume is Mayflower.

    Thanks. I'd assumed they would use the same stock as the Sussex Belle on the 15th.

    The last couple of years using the mk2's the GB has been a full maroon rake. The Sussex belle rake will have blue and grey coaches in it.
