    Lol yes I hadn't noticed the typo. I'm impressed you know what a blunt is Iain, you must be down with the yoof ;):D:p:Cigar: Maybe that could be a selling point get everyone stoned and then they won't care if they have a box on the back or if anything else happens during the trip. I can just see it now with Bob Marley blasting out on the train's PA system :Saywhat:

    Not necessarily. There's a lot more to it than just the number of cylinders...

    Honestly, I hope that the Royal Duchy run next year because I think the prospects for 6023 shall be better.

    Oops I already knew that just realised that I was thinking of a friend who has to be different and have an extra I so please accept my apologies :oops:

    Getting back on topic, the loadings of always seemed good when I've been on it so I'd imagine that it will run. With 6023? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    The train comprises of 47.786 + 57.315 plus 8 coaches.

    The weather looks quite promising for tomorrow. Let's hope that all goes to plan. :) <BJ>
