Ahh, thanks @big jim. Yup, I'm around today, so hopefully see you! Can't see the workings on RT Trains (I always check Uttoxeter signal box as that seems to show everything) - only 1 for a LSL move from Crewe to Barrow Hill at the moment, but will keep checking. Have a safe day 🙂

Great update, thanks @EddieK! Here are a couple of poor photos of mine of the 108/116 3 car combo on the branch at Bow Brickhill heading for Bedford.

Have fun! There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing you how to adjust your gears - it’s a good feeling when they change smoothly! Don't forget a good back light too - or a couple.

Last year I bought myself a Michael Blast Greaser ebike to help me get more active and lose weight in order to reverse my diabetes. I managed to lose over 4 stone and succeeded in my reversal quest, the ebike was starting to feel too heavy and sluggish and was drawing a bit too much attention for my liking. I've been doing loads of walking but missed riding so recently sold the ebike and bought this instead - its a Boardman hybrid comp. Its so light - I can whizz up hills like I was 40 yeats younger! Its put the joy back in riding for me so every trip into town, to church, etc. is now being done on 2 wheels rather than 2 legs!

Thanks for taking the time to compose that @EddieK, very useful and bought back some happy memories of the 116s around Brum.

You can almost hear the rasping as it pulls away!

37116 growls through Uttoxeter station on the 0850 Derby RTC to Derby RTC via Preston on Friday 31 March 2023. Used to see this loco in Stonebridge sidings occasionally 40 years ago when I commuted into London - bought back happy memories!

Thanks so much Jim for the notice, really appreciated. Sadly I'm in our office in Brum all week so won't be about- grrrr! Take care :)

Hi Jim. Do you happen to know please why the Pinnox trains go via Alrewas now they are operated by GBRF instead of via Uttoxeter as they used to with Colas. Thanks, take care.
