Class 50 officially entered service in October 1967 though I have distinct memories of seeing them on Shap in August 1967. No doubt on acceptance trials. They were used double headed and IIRC had to reduce speed at Shap Summit because the then,...

Wiki says built in 1906, so I'm afraid you have missed contractual limitation by a mere 120 years. Unless the contract was executed as a deed, it's only 114 years late. That's before you get to the problem of privity of contract. I hate to...

Loco crew are all fine if shook up. They know they’ve got support as/when needed. ORR/RAIB informed, it’s a case of letting the processes flow accordingly. Foxfield have not only opened their offer of travel to our customers, but assisted in...
