All that for some class 158s??

Wonders will never cease!!


Seriously though, I will wait until it has all died down before going to see it (although I am booked onto one of the steam specials next month).

Some may never have seen a train before though!

We apparently aren't just in a rolling stock timewarp out on the coast, but the livery is going back too: -

That reminds me of the man who came from France to learn English pronunciation, he saw a newspaper headline, "Experiment pronounced success" said " Merde! Jamais!" and got straight back on the boat.

37401 Mary Queen Of Scots?!
Where is the full drainage system surrounding it to collect all the froth and dribble from the veg??!!

That is a loco that makes certain groups of people go all uneccesary.

Looked it up last night. Taken back out of preservation and running one of the Cumbrian Coastal Diagrams at the moment it looks like (not sure if they are on rotation or fixed locos).

I was surprised that there weren't a load of people at St Bees actually, as the other Class 37 arrived at the south bound platform while we were still in the station and was parked next to ours. Other one was 37402, which is in the more normal DRS livery.

Yeah, '37s, especially 37/4 attract a certain type of idio.... Enthusiast.

Clearly they are all at work though....

Yebbut it's only new on top isn't it? The platforms will still be in the same dingy cellar as now, unless I've seriously misunderstood. Have to get up there in the next few weeks to have a look.
