@IanMacDJ That would be an interesting reunion Ian as when they were popular they never got on with each other. They were always falling out and having fights apparently.

📢Please don't leave the train unless you are asked to do so

👉Other trains may still be moving in the area, and the track is also a very hazardous environment

⚡In areas where the trains are powered by an electric third rail, this usually stays live and dangerous during incidents, and looks the same as other rails

[Mark Hempstead @mhempstead68]

@Se_Railway Thank you

[Mark Hempstead @mhempstead68]

@Se_Railway Where are all the trains coming from to make these 220 services? What services are you going to take away to make these happen?
