Crisis Rail

Uncertainty until when? Any idea?

Therefore are the days of the Railway Exhibition finally gone?

Not a chance of this going with Sturgeon.

For a minute I thought York had gone again. Surely now it has to come down to individual choice of attendance not just for York Ex.

37114 Shutdown on Caerbannog Stabling Point.

A couple of Tractor shots before layout is mothballed.

I blame Latifi.

Not really. FIA/F1 = Controversy. Part of the package.

Well - there you have it at least they've gone through the motions - it'll give next season a bit of Zip which is of course music to the FIA's ears.

....so confused he's even got that the wrong way round.

Thanks - I think percentage rule was TOCA BTCC

Goodness! - last time I saw Carlos Sainz was on the Lombard RAC when we were Marshalling Grizedale in 1989. Hasn't aged one bit!

Race would've finished anway on percentage of lap completion. Unless that rule has been changed? - it's been a while since I was involved.

Stapps post race interview seems subdued.....

Lol.

This. Decided to watch first GP since I cannot remember when. As for SKY it's a comedy - I must be getting old. Currently confusingly descending into farce.

Old - tell me about it. Parents are 95 and 93 Father has Dementia - Mother going downhill last few months but it's undoubtably quite a very good age - Dad always said "Got to Dee 'o Summat" - I've just come back from a difficult visit this morning. You said: .......Or we can accept them, roll with it, and perhaps help limit the spread in a tiny way, Agree.

Well the faff did go away to a certain degree - in Summer - and how refreshing that was. Winter of course is, and always has been, a different case - regarding the burden on NHS resource pre pandemic included - I get enough grief about the situation off my State Registered missus. We're like pin cushions Single - Double - Triple Boosted - 2021 Influenza strain fully Strepsil Soothered and vaccinated up seemingly for many years to come thanks to modern medicine of which we should be eternally grateful. I fully agree to all common sense precautions but what more can we do? Summer 2022 - I can't wait.

This... That... The Other... Anyone agree It's all becoming a boringly inconvenient faff?

I’ll go down later this week. The Factory is still there (ex Alsthom) and take a few images.

Strand Road Preston Lancashire where English Electric Deltic prototype rolled out on these metals. Ironic that the long gone sadly missed retail shop Transport Models was in this alleyway until it’s demise.

No surprise. But fancied popping over for a look.

Fleet of Jock 26 27 and a 47. All good- but yes Heljan have had some QC nightmares of past.

Transit? Not bad to Australia!
