Jim’s “out and about with GBRf” thread


Recommended Posts

Nice pics, Jim.  One thing puzzled me, as I have driven the A835 many a time on the way to Ullapool for the ferry, and I couldn't recall a rock shelter on that route.  I think you may mean this one on the A890 between Attadale and Stromeferry.

Excellent pics anyway, enjoyed seeing the scenery and looking forward to a trip to Lossiemouth the week after next.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland.

66789 seems to be pretty clean most of the time.

I noticed though one of the large logos is starting to peel off, I’ve got it again today bescot to rugby 

It’s it cheaper then to vinyl it rather than just paint the large logo on?

Hired from DB I think.

 

Correct, all the 90s for the GC operation were coming from the DB pool (As DB owns Arriva who own GC) - This also meant that a number of stored 90s were being re-instated at Crewe for both GC and DB operations, though that may have been thrown into doubt now with the plug pulled on the GC Blackpool services. 

 

All the ex Greater Anglia 90s have been divided between LSL (90001/002) and Freightliner.
