RMweb Gold Popular Post big jim Posted March 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2019 Ah well that’s the teaser, I worked them both! Started in derby with the 37, as it was GBRf first IM train I wanted to be on board in case of issues and it was my trainee’s first run with staff rhen due to illness the ballast job was uncovered between Birmingham and banbury so I got off there and worked it forward (relieving Marcus37 who had bought it in from stud farm) At banbury I got a car from the onward driver and drove to West Ruislip to meet back up with the IM train to conduct it into Marylebone back to ruislip where I got back off and drove home while the train continued to ferme Park via the north london line breathed a huge sigh of relief once the job was over knowing we managed to run the train without issues (we did have a jumper cable issue prior to departure which was rectified quickly) thats me til tomorrow on the bicester train 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are GBRf taking over just the yard or the yard and the depot? Interesting to see the use of and 08 which is contrary to DBC operations, well to a layman like myself it does!!
