    I think that's a reasonable deduction, allied to the quotes in the latest Trackside from DS stating that none of the mk1s has been fitted with CDL. Taken alongside the reported application for a 13 year R5 exemption, beginning with 3 years...

    [ATTACH] Screen grab of 71000 near Baldock at lunchtime today. 3 seconds after the class 47 went by, a pair of class 379s came the other way - phew!

    Surely it would be difficult to run out of things to do there? Old town or eve cross to Gosport on the ferry for good views of the harbour and shipping from the pier

  7. 26D_M liked Beardy's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

    Given the evidence so far, I think that is very likely to be wishful/delusional thinking. Only a few months ago we had some, including yourself if I recall, declaring that WC had fitted a rake of Mk1s with CDL that would suddenly appear for the...

    Again, I 'm not sure whether some of this open to interpretation.. Santander do have a charge on most of the NYMR assets, but I don't think that those charges will have changed even as debts were reduced - perhaps someone more versed in...
