Andy g As "Basil" rather than Sybil seemed to stick for the Stadlers, isn't it only natural that "Sybil" is applied to the 720s, assuming they have a habit of falling over too? However, let's be positive, maybe they'll be fantastic... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggie in the east Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Morning all. A little info on the 755s during these quiet times. 37611 running manningtree to Ipswich as 0Z99 to collect a 755 in ipswich following the possible contamination of the cab after the guard had to self isolate in it following reports of a driver coughing uncontrollably. Will run to crown point for a deep clean. Take care. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggie in the east Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thats correct. The loco was deemed not necessary after they found it was the london end cab that was affected and they could take the unit back to crown point from the country end, so back went the 37.
