I’ve just boarded a flight from London to the US. I checked my boarding pass and headed to my seat, fully expecting it to be occupied by an entitled woman claiming to need it so she could be near her kids, giving me the essential elements of an indignant social media post. But no. The seat was empty. No entitled woman claiming to need it so she could be near her kids, giving me the essential elements of an indignant social media post. Empty. Unoccupied. I sat down. The delightful stewardess brought me a drink. Sometimes in life oh do fuck off.

@ModelRailClub @Yourallypally We are looking forward to being part of the show this weekend with Splott. Having been visitors for most of the 25 years, and IMREX/EUFMO before that, it will be great to be exhibiting with a layout for the first time. Can’t wait and limbering up for the hill already! 😀

@CrecyRail Purchased this at NEC ex. Have bought all D Larkin’s previous books & was looking forward to it. Whilst overall the book is as good as previous 1s, the repro of some photos is disappointing. A number are very dark to the point of not being able to see much of the wagon pictured.

@NoelDolphin With greater electrification it would make the justification slightly easier, but there is currently no incentive for OTM owners to make the significant extra invest in hybrid tech worthwhile which would also need to change.

Working on a project looking at the maintenance train strategies around Europe. What strikes me is that almost every country is moving towards electric/battery maintenance vehicles. I think we will be stuck with diesel for a long time (1/2).

A general view of the yard at Hither Green, the remaining half of the old shed can be seen on the far right, 17/4/99. At this time you could still access the shed by the path from the platform.

Can anyone help? I recently had a walk across the HLB when I was in Newcastle recently but couldn't find the plaque @RailwayHeritage provided following the bridge restoration work in 2008. Is it still there and was I just looking in the wrong place?

@RWilcockrail Vehicle maintenance work will end and the current Doncaster site close, but components work will continue for Wabtec in the UK at either the existing sites or at another new facility. Important for those involved that the facts are correctly stated.

@AlexHallRailInf It doesn't appear to be the case now. Sounds like all projects will be completed and the site shut

@traindrivermum The Leonardo hotel in Glasgow looks straight into Glasgow Central station. That's worth a trip one day.
