However i expect this Government to do nothing about it otherwise there will need to be some refunds if you get my drift ;)

Re: Train Spotters Corner
 

I doubt the goverment will do anything regardless of how many signatures they get unfortunately.

Angela Eagle being a little hypocritical, IMHO, saying that this should not have been awarded when Parliament is in recess, when the East Coast franchise was awarded five years ago around about this time....

Great pic, is that taken at Leicester Halcyon?

Re: Train Spotters Corner
 

Yeah from one of the nearby Bridges overlooking the station.

Are those underground carraiges at the back? I cant quite make it out but think it could be.

Re: Train Spotters Corner
 

Some nice old Diesel classics there Raven especially the ones of the mighty Deltic's but do you remember the baby Deltic's.

Re: Train Spotters Corner
 

It does look like the new stock for the underground. We used to get them now and then for crew changes at Saltley as it headed down south.

Don't remember them in service and with them all being scrapped don't think I ever saw one, we might still get to see one again though
