RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2016 No pics but spotted what looked like 2 sleeper 73s light engine through Exhibition Centre station, westbound at about 10.40 last night. At the wrong bit of the platform so couldn't see clearly, but definitely odd to hear a diesel of some sort coming through the tunnels! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
