    Just back from my afternoon visit around Baford Hall yard........70001, 70005 and 70011 all present. 70005 on the refuelling point, but the other two tucked away in the middle of the yard. Bob

    Hi Jim, a pal of mine is a member of Phoenix Railtours, and I'm tagging along just for the trip. Crewe South steam depot was still there as well the last time I was round Basford Hall. Bob.

    Apparently those reports are now confirmed....it has left Newport docks on a low loader. Unconfirmed reports are that it is on its way to either LNWR or MR for component recovery..???? Bob

    On Thursday evening this week, I was returning from Cardiff to Crewe, arriving about 9.15pm, when lineside at Gresty Road, just before the DRS depot on the opposite side, there was a class 70 loco in the sidings, being attended to by 4 fire engines. There didnt seem to be a fire, whatever the emergency, it did seem to have been towards the end of it. Anyone any news.???? Bob.

    Flippin Eck Gordon........I don't know whether I get more motivated or demoralised when I look at your latest achievements, how am I ever expected to get this level. Kidding apart though.....that is just brilliant Gordon, cant wait to see it in the flesh maybe later this year. Bob

    I was forwarded this email by someone in the know.........is this right.????? Network Rail are totally p....d off with the class70's constantly failing on the mainline and causing 1000's of minutes of delay so as of yesterday afternoon banned them from "Marches" (Newport-Shrewsbury) and other bits of railway until they can get them running correctly! Hence a pair are assigned the Avonmouth-Rugeley tomorrow just in case one fails!!! Bob

    I think I know where you mean....thats just down from those fishing pools. No....I dont fish.!!!! But there used to be a Butty Van parked up there a few years back, when out on business I used to drop in occasionally for a whopping bacon and egg butty. :icon_redface: That was about 10 yrs ago now.........long gone I suspect. No more snow now though eh.?? Bob
