      I think the Eurostar folks may be a little suspect of the grumbling luggage.

    Ask yourselves this, rail users: Would YOU travel on a railway that allows ME to be a COSS?!

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Trying to be glib about it. I finally passed my COSS exam! (Just in time for it to be replaced by Safe Work Leader)

      The thing is, my work usually doesn't take me near the HOBC. Ah well, Just enough time to grow it back in time for Christmas.

    Today I are mostly been condemning sidings.

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Hartlepool Pipe Mill. The exchange sidings and internal network have not had any real money spent on them in years, so are slowly falling to pieces. As part of a fortnightly inspection, we decided that some of the sidings were so bad that they should be taken out of service immediately.

      Nope, can't find any trace of smut here. Who are you and where is the real Boris?

    I don't think there's such thing as a stupid question on RMweb. This subject is just too vast to know everything. But asking a question and then arguiing with the person who answers it, now that's stupid.

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      It's because the answer you're giving them and the answer they require aren't necessarily the same thing...

      Mrs Boris hitting you with the frying pan again?

  12. Boris

    how stupid are people, 2 individuals complained they were "nearly hit by a train" today after following their "smartphone" GPS thorugh a railway tunnel.

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      That's the thing with these fancy new smart 'phones: you have to trade in your brain to get one.

    Important lessons learned on the Tanfield Railway, No. 46: Don't go for a massive chinese buffet the night before you have to spend all day inside an enclosed firebox!

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Well, let's just say it's a tight squeeze through the Austerity's firehole door, and it was just as well that there were no naked lights in the shed!

    Guard training again tomorrow on the Tanfield... Should be my last turn before they give me a passing out run!

      Well, that was fun, certainly learned a thing or two today!

    I thought &mm to the Foot was a good scale to work in; then I spent today doing trackwork in 12" to the foot scale. Much more fun!

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Hello Mr. ampersand, how did you get in there? Of course, I meant "7mm".

    has spent a productive day painting the frames on a box van.

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Sounds fun. Better than sitting in a grounded 12ton van body, opening crossing gates all day.

  20. Boris

    has just got back from A&E after his wife tried to swallow a sack barrow. What she did was so implausable that they've accused me of hitting her, you've got to love the nanny state.

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      Trust me, if he'd tried to hit Mrs Boris, *He* would be the one in A&E!

    It doesn't have to be like this - all we have to do is make sure we keep talking.

      It was the same phrase used by Pink Floyd in the song "Keep Talking" of the album "Division Bell"

    Chris has a sad: His favorite pub is closing next weekend...

    1. Chris Heighton

      Chris Heighton

      The annoying thing is it is a good, profitable pub; they are pulling it down so lorries can turn into the new supermarket more easily!
