    Could anybody out early enough for the tour tomorrow post here to advise of stock formation please? E.g full matching Carmine and cream, or Mix-and-match marroon with blues and creams everywhere...

    It's possibly the deciding factor on wether I stay in bed tomorrow actually sleeping between nightshifts, or if I cut the sleep in half and run out for a photo somewhere near Drem...

    Thanks

    The blood & custards should look really good with Tornado's blue :)


    Here's wishing the trip every success today; looking forward to seeing pics in due course.

    Seeo have immediately followed a signalling problem in the same area. Could be a coincidence. Hope it wasn't one of the S&T staff who was hit. Far less sympathy if it was somebody trying to steal signalling cables.

    Nice clip when we got to it. Glad to see there is no danger that you will lose (or is it loose!) your sense of humour.
