James

It shows that you're a dedicated contributor... keeping an involvement with something that you feel strongly about and aiding others is what we're all about isn't it?

Congrats on 5000 postings.

If I've helped others then I'm happy, but some of the gos on here, I do wonder why it's worth the hassle.

Yes, funny that.

Numpties?

Don't know whether to agree or disagree!

Great essay that James.

Thank you :-)

Well said James, we shouldnt take things for granted, best of luck for a positive outcome.

James, you and your friends will be very much in people's thoughts and prayer. Your closing statement is very moving and brings the most important things in life to the fore of our hearts and minds. Thank you, mate.

Your comments are very thoughtful sadly my wife's friend's baby won't survive. Life is very unfair sometimes.

That's just a minor detail!

Did you manage to find it?

has it gone via stainforth?

In railway terms, Donny is always Doncaster!

It was routed via the single line into Goole, passed on place 16 early then must have just pottered along! Sat at Goole for nearly twenty minutes awaiting his booked time - no fun when it's the last train of the night!

As have lots of museums... like the science museum in London now seemingly aimed at 8 year olds. Shame!

And don't mention the Glasgow transport museum, it's for five year olds.

Information notices about exhibits which tell you about it without actually revealing anything!

Mostly! :-D

Do please give her my best regards James :-)

She's doing much better now - fully round from the anaethetic now so will hopefully be home tomorrow!

Thanks for all you kind comments :-)

Suzi's back home now :-) Sore but very much on the mend :-)

'Like'

And it included a pair of twenties standing outside for twenty minutes!

See, you even got a decent soundtrack

Well done James

Well done James

Well done James

How long will the reunion last before they fall out again?

Hope yo saw my eldest lad there?

I may have seen him, but it was rather busy!

And Horsey, just enjoy the moment!

A little bit - lovely location but get sick of the crossing!

Will miss Cat though :-(

Enjoy the piece and tranquility of the last shifts James...

Best of luck in your new 'box James - 1 week to learn the job and a week on each turn so I'll be looking forward to you in being 'in charge' by the end of July.

You speak it 'long hand'! So you have to ask, for example, "Is the down line clear for 1K12*?" (* Spoken as One Kilo One Two) and then the reply is "Yes the down line is clear for 1K12." Then the same for entering section and out of section. it can be more than an extra two hundred phone calls a shift on a week day for us!

At least it'll keep you awake! Don't know how you'll get the car washed with all those phonecalls though...

I was loosing the will to live!

We don't get time for anything - we must be the hardest working Grade 2's and 3's in the country!

"Please leave your message after the tone!"

We need pictures!

Rules exam? Well done, but rules of what? You aren't the privileged one who understands the rules of Mornington Crescent are you? In which case you are a truly exceptional human being and very well done to your sir.

Not Mornington Crescent!

Today it was dealing with Hot Boxes, defective TCAs and Level Crossings!

Well done fella! I'm off to Whitemoor on Wednesday- getting assessed on my recognition of wagons types and loading...

Excellent news - well done.

Well done but you did waste 25% effort though....

Thanks for all the kind comments

And Trebor I'm sure passenegrs won't think any effort was wasted!
