Happy Christmas from the 73133 Bluebell Railway support crew.

[PTTS @markb846]

@ZainOnSWR @Peter_Mugridge @networkrail @SouthernRailUK @GatwickExpress 3877s and 387s will work reasonably well together. But cannot run in passenger service like this.

[PTTS @markb846]

@Captain_Deltic @TheFactCompiler Perhaps under GBR The CL390 fleet will suddenly become more reliable. But I guess probably not.

Reflections of the way things used to be

[PTTS @markb846]

@realPeterSpokes @LNRailway The last time I attempted to do Euston to MK on a 321. We arrived at Watford Junction in a cloud of smoke. Due to a dragging brake. Train terminated then ECS to Rugby after remedial action

@bluebellrailway @Gordon_3417 How about an Electric Blue Day sometime?

[PTTS @markb846]

@Gordon_3417 arrives at Kingscote on the @bluebellrailway while 73133 waits for the road south. 06/09/24.

[PTTS @markb846]

@SalesStand @bluebellrailway Yes sorry 1505

[PTTS @markb846]

73133 Pull the Amps as it gets the 1305 departure from East Grinstead @bluebellrailway to Sheffield Park

[PTTS @markb846]

Apologies to @Captain_Deltic and his Informed Sources rules. Here a rule few for recommissioning a preserved loco
1] Things are seldom as bad as you think. They are normally much worse.
2] Nothing is over. Until everything is signed off.
But today it is over. Time for a beer

[PTTS @markb846]

@DriverPotter I am quite surprised as there seemed to be a clear way forward at the AGM a few months back

[PTTS @markb846]

@ClanLine28 I saw you waiting to depart Stewarts Lane. But wasn't able to get a picture

[PTTS @markb846]

@tms1967 @greensignallers @railnigel @NetworkRailSE @networkrail @SouthernRailUK I think if anyone could find a way of getting rid of Buddleia on the railway they would be on to a bit of a winner

[PTTS @markb846]

Managed to escape the Third Rail World for a while today. To enjoy some Great Western 4 cylinder motive power instead.

[PTTS @markb846]

@Se_Railway I am sure that @Se_Railway have better thing to invest their money in
