Subject: RE: BS: Off on my travels again
Sounds interesting Liz, hotel pancakes!! As you are no doubt perfectly aware, I meant BETTER!! My job btw, is on the Notwork Fail Track Recording and Inspection vehicles. This takes me all round the rail network! This week I'm supposed to be working the Track Recording Unit, a self contained two car train based on the venerable Class 150 DMU. That train is, however, stabled up in Machynlleth in some disgrace as one of the engines dropped dead on us this morning as we were en route to Pwllheli and, on the way back, the surviving engine did not have sufficient power to get us over the back just south of Fairbourne, upon which we ground to an ignoble stand. Looks as if we'll have a stand down day in Shrewsbury tomorrow, certainly no chance of doing anything before early afternoon!!
