I had 1512 on that run on its 2nd day in service... was scared of scratching it  Big Grin  it now runs through to Newcastle so the 0810 from Durham moved to become a Durham working.

It was a great shift that one, lasted quite a while. You used to start about 0630, go light to Boro to do the Durham & back, come off at 0920, out at 1045 to Peterlee & back and finish when you got back at 1345. Perfect day.

Yeah, now you mention it... the change and former short run, turning in to a full run is starting to ring a bell.

That shift you describe doesn't sound too bad either!

Booked working - Sunday sees the 81A interwork with the 3 (the Sunday version of the X3) plus the fuel saving over using a Temsa

And BSOG uplift?


I must admit to thinking it was NIS and running to pick up a 3 or X4 when I saw it.


The rear blind was O/S and there was nobody on it (apart from the driver).
It was only when I got past it, that I twigged it was actually in service.
