      They'll probably beat England as well in order to complete a clean sweep.

      Well, it's meant to be changing from diesel to steam in Newport station, but according to Real Time Trains, it's only been allowed 2 minutes for the change - suggesting that either it's not happening or the site's wrong

      Loco change is Cardiff Pengam Sidings http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t14/t0531a.htm

      Is it C1 as that's what I have. I did get an A* in a mock I did tonight so im reasonably confident

    4. Frappington Jct

      Frappington Jct

      This is C2 that I'm resitting, followed by C3. I got an A* in C1, but a C in C2, so I wasn't happy

    Before critisizing someone first walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you critisize them you are a mile apart AND have their shoes
