    This is interesting from the West Coast FB page. Look at the description of the rolling stock. Does this mean we have Mk1s back or are they not being entirely honest?

    If it is it’s a bit dishonest

    I’m a glass half full type so I will assume that they have been quietly fitting CDL to some Mk1s until I see otherwise.

    Tornado for 1st SSE?, I read somewhere it is doing 3 additional trips from ones that have already been advertised, and one of them is on the 26th June

    No, it is booked 15 minutes for water at Common Road Crossing on Strensall Common. It does stop at Fenton as usual on the return.

    Hopefully enough rain will fall before Thursday to reduce the fire risk assessment from BLACK.
