I found out that the Bridge Bash was involving a train, car and bus and was apparently the same bridge as last time. Fortunatley it was fixed quicker than last time and when I got the train home everything was fine from the mornings problems.
Mine was the same as James, as soon as we got that text from Yorkie we were off that train like a shot. It was a great desicion and we got a very rare working to Aberdeen. Great.
I doubt this will happen and will not raise my hopes too high. All I can say is if they do run I'll concentrate on doing them all the time I can before there gone again. I don't want another incident where I was waiting for 87013 (which would of been the last ever 87 hauled service train) at...
Ah didn't realise that WHL wasn't cleared for 158s, well most of Scotland would see improvements as the 180s could no dobut displace enough 170s to send up to Inverness to get rid of the 158s up there.
Well 180s being replaced on most lines by HSTs seems a result for me. the only line that seems to be losing out is the Cotswold Line which had lots of 165s when I travelled on it anyway so just more of the same for them and it didn't seem that important to me. If the 180s replaced 170s on...

I don't think people should be congratulating GNER for bringing this back but thinking they should never have refused to accept them in the first place.
I used to a couple of years back work down at the Bluebell Railway, I used to help out in Kingscote Ticket Office and would often be down at Sheffield Park cleaning up the locos. I am now going to start down on the EKR when they next have a day open.
The ELR is also very expensive when I went there it was approaching 5 quid for a child return between two stations although I think this has changed since I last went. But thankfully the guard was very nice and as I'd come up from London for the Thumper they waved the fare which was nice.
