    Its been a long time since I have been to the sea wall.Great shots Mark.Is the DRS 37 a prelude to a regular freight working with DRS traction?

    You spend so much time down there do you pay Council Tax to Teignbridge Council??? \:D/

    Haha,not much to see these days Nick (down to about 4 daylight freights in the summer!!),The 37 was on a route learner to Looe and Gunnislake apparently preceeding the running of the Serco Test Train down there.


    There are rumours that Advenza are going to start off that new scrap flow (especially after 47375 came LE last week) so who knows. There hasn't been such a big reduction in the amount of freight it just comes at about 1AM! We saw 6C43 (i think that's the code) with 66230 which then returned LE later but that's all this week.

    Just paying the rent every year,although obviously i aren't ;)

    Cheers,
    Mark
