I'm planning to be nedding around on the Saturday

25265 dead as a dodo?

Hope the freight and HST runs don't either reduce the number of passenger trains though, given times are usually pretty tight anyway. Don't want to pay £17+ to watch pretty freight and emcars go past....

265 has leaky cylinder liners or something. Reparable but not cost effective just at the minute as the 37 can handle all the PWay work.

There aren't any booked freight trains!

Not expecting the 4CIG to be ready.

Unfortunate, but air leak on it's bogies means that while it's still just about OK for bouncing around on PWay wagons, it's not really going to be suitable for a passenger train.
