(05 Jul 2014, 10:59 am)Dan I decided not to go out after having just awoken about an hour ago - thought it was too late by the time I have a shower, get dressed and then get on a bus somewhere. So I'm doing something productive on NEB for a change!
Anything you like!

Any idea when it got replaced within GNE's fleet - I would imagine about 2005-2007?
