    Nice, Harry, very nice.
    Perhaps you could clarify precisely what you think is **** ? Or is it just stuff you disagree with?

    Bearing mind the length of time the forum seems to take to load at the moment please can I ask that you use less asterisks, if only to save bandwidth.

    Yet a quick look on companies house reveals the company to be in far better shape financially than any of its rivals! Perhaps running charters is not as profitable as some on here might believe?

    Well the basis of my question is that I know charters are not massively profitable! But as others have said, they do hvae other income streams.

    Don't WCRC now have the WCML Thunderbird contract? At least it was mentioned during the 70000 issue the other day.

    I think we established a long time ago that 'profit' and 'business sense' have not been at the forefront of recent decision making. If it were they would have prioritised fitment of CDL for the Jacobite several years ago, rather than putting it at risk.
    If 2026 is though the year that a rake of CDL fitted Mk1s appears out of 10A I will happily drink to that. If an unassisted run behind one of the 10A collection appears as a result, I will also happily dust off my chequebook for RTC.
