Thanks, (and sorry for the late reply!). I don't remember seeing many but then again until recently there wasn't a lot for us to add to the conversation as obviously this was a fairly bottom of the pile conversation before the Dawlish incident.
Hey Paul, how do I go about starting a new thread in a particular section of the forum? It really doesn't seem that straight forward. Ha ha. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Paul. Many thanks for you welcome, much appreciated. Loved the 304's, takes me back to my younger days, along with the occasional 303 operating the route. Probably one of the first classes I went on in to Lime Street.
I'm really not at all sure I've done this right! If I have, then you'll know that I got your message and responded - any friend of the 'Lanky' is a friend of mine!
