    Anyone travelling on Wednesday? We haven't had our confirmation Ticket Letter email. The website has still only got the approximate timings. Rather different timings are showing on RTT but got nowt from VT.

    I only got my confirmation email for last Wednesday's trip late on the preceding Sunday evening, so wouldn't worry just yet.

    The RTT times do seem rather more sociable than the proposed timings.. Normally it ends up the other way around!

    No more brooding cooling towers of Ferrybridge "C" looming in the background anymore. :(

    5043 crossing the River Aire on the way to York and the Christmas market.

    So are they running with a further CDL exemption or is the stock fitted now, from pictures can't see any obvious external indicators lights but are such things compulsory?
