    You can't preserve everything though ... I think on museum / curatorial grounds, there is an argument that says a Pacer should be preserved as an example of a particular strand of rolling stock development - you can see them as the spiritual...

    RTT https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U80725/2026-04-25/detailed shows reversals at Acton Wells and Ruislip Gardens but only "Service stops for pathing (passing train)" at Neasden Jnc, and you don't need to reverse there to get onto...

    That means they must carry the complicated gubbins for coupling to a Pendo.

    I know a chap who considered buying a Pacer body to keep poultry in, but when he saw the inside decided the hens would stop laying.

    Sometimes someone does want information fairly urgently, but in that case they can check it frequently.

    To be honest (and I include myself in this) the first 11 words of the above could sum up this thread and also the other on running in parallel regarding 10A, both have just turned into a constant repetition of the same entrenched positions and...

  12. MellishR liked 26D_M's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

    Last week you were hailing the "agreement" with ORR, which WC was claiming to have been struck. There was no agreement and ORR had to say so. WC has undoubtedly done great things with mainline steam but that is in the past and doesn't make ORR...

    That's what WCR claim. I'm not sure close partnership would be a phrase used by the ORR where WCR are concerned.
