How many engines should we have?

Yes.

It was one of the better days of the last few aswell! Sadly the 5th diagram which consisted of Scarborough shuttles and 1U80 was a Cummins QSK-19...

The shunt that TPE drivers were supposed to learn for them to have 2 South Route diagrams but they never did...

Employ ROG to take them to and from Cleethorpes 😩

Was that ME.962? Off Longshite and U29 to Leeds, then a Liverpool and back? I think...

My records have this for 027 on this date last year Tim

Caught me off guard a few times and had to make a wrong direction move back up the tram tracks to get into the station 😂

Sounds like a skill issue, got the radiator nice and warm and I'm lovely and toasty 😂

York driver works 1P05 back after a break at Picc, not a bad job for them to be fair...

Tunnel bores line the tunnel 'skin' (or whatever it's called) with the segments as it bores through.

As it's off to Willesden, I imagine they will be apart of HS2 related tunnels.

On the subject of 029... you and @timblazey.bsky.social at the Airport with Courageous ex 1P94 2 days apart on 9th and 11th November 2022 😁

To be fair, about a year ago I was booked on the 0846 EUS CRE after doing the beds following 1S51 PLY GLC...

PBC fault on original set, couldn't get a brake release. Only other set available was a 4, ended up being the only person on and express EUS CRE too.

So it's not always booked 4 wagons...

Oh crikey... I noticed it would've definitely been a good few years ago when I looked at the GSMR.

Brums haven't been Class 1s for yonks!

Assume quite an old photo with the 'mechanical' AWS sunflower?

I do prefer the rebuilt version with the EE 12SVT, much better.

That being said, what's the traction you've signed you enjoyed the most?
