My last tug of 2010.
31 December 2010
Edge Lane Junction, Edge Hill, Liverpool
60045, The Permanent Way Institution, on 6F78, 11:30, Fiddlers Ferry Power Station - Liverpool Bulk Terminal empty HTAs
Personally most of things mentioned aren't - to me - cliches.
For me the cliche is (some have been mentioned) the RTA, the traffic jam, the welder in the garage, that type of thing. A more specialised one is the distant signal at the tunnel mouth, frequently on a single track.
Bit of self promotion but for those who want a tug over Xmas I have uploaded some new clips of 60s to my YouTube (actually uploaded a lot of new stuff, but these are the 60s)
We use one or two - they are not difficult, as mentioned above.
A tip for those who have difficulty understanding double slips on control panels, draw them as two points, for example
Make sure you get the right switch at the right end and it should be easier to work with.
