The boards were at Ty-Croes where we had to wait for a while before being able to leave
The signal box is only a crossing box now, not a block box so the section across Anglesey is from gaerwen to valley
We then set off for the possession boards at Bangor and as we were a bit early we had the chance of a quick stop on the Britannia bridge for a pic!
Don’t get a chance to get a pic like this every day!
They finally got the toilet working at Ty Croes then?
Your picture of the lion is much better than mine

The thing that still gets me is that if Ford had managed to get Newey then they wouldn’t have sold Jaguar to Red Bull in the first place.
now Ford are to partner the team they once owned with the designer they couldn’t get having left!

Only those dedicated to the Heathrow Express, not the general GWR fleet.
So they shouldn’t be too difficult to fit for the remaining few that work out of Kings Cross?

Hopefully it'll work better than 387101, which is currently 18 months into an 11 month programme for fitment and testing!
Don’t the 387s out of Paddington have ETCS fitted?

Was that drone launched from the middle of am umgated level crossing?
Yes it looked like it, not usually the best place to stand,
but since there is a big hole and no track then there is not much chance of a train coming, still should stay on the path though

Just one of the wall thought. With all those long tunnels between Euston and Wendover I hope they have installed wifi cables in the tunnels or many of the passengers are going to need therapy after being deprived of wifi etc
Jamie
There will no doubt be multiple leaky feeder cables installed for GSMR and ETCS use, emergency services radios, and probably for at least one mobile provider. There is probably already some in them for the TBM crews comms.

In my far off days as a civil servant we skipped 23 PCs, at a time when PCs were still a big ticket purchase (late 90's). They were a year old and still decent specification. Apparently that was more cost effective than giving them to a local school or worthy cause.
We once rescued a load of computers that were being thrown out by GCHQ. they had no hard disks (destroyed/sensitive) but we had budget to replace them. This enabled a cascade of upgrades where every pc on camp was swapped for a better one and the spare parts were made up into working systems and given to the base primary school.
