There is a consultation about abolishing this but havent heard of any changes.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-75738256164956630502011-07-15T07:25:11.689+01:002011-07-15T07:25:11.689+01:00Richard,

I have no knowledge or expertise on the subject of rolling stock etc but that particular coach looked in fine condition and the curved extremities of the roof line was attractive feature and made it stand out from the rest.<br /><br />Jim,<br />Pedantic is ok by me! The best knowledge I have at the moment is Plan 3 , but stretched to 720ft. There is no practical restriction on the length of the platforms( we will make 1 & 2 the same length). For aesthetic reasons I am going to suggest we shorten 1A by 40-50 ft at the southern end and tack it on the northern end.<br /><br />Thanks for the interest - BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318720512739905663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-1451535272140282752011-07-14T22:14:32.916+01:002011-07-14T22:14:32.916+01:00Totally agree with Richard!

Sorry but I DO like to nail things down and tie up seemingly loose ends!Jim Boylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-45556959181781039042011-07-14T21:54:51.841+01:002011-07-14T21:54:51.841+01:00It's Mk 2A TSO (Tourist Open Second) 5366 owne...It's Mk 2A TSO (Tourist Open Second) 5366 owned by Riviera Trains, and used as a barrier vehicle on their Torbay Express Mk 1 set. <br /><br />As a barrier vehicle it carries no passengers, although the ORR has just agreed that barrier vehicles can be dispensed with on the main line. At the same time, the exemption for the use of Mk 1's on the main line has been extended for a further 10 years.Richard Johnsonnoreply@blogger.com
