(15 Jan 2015, 8:13 pm)northern156 East Coast don't run trains to Middlesbrough, David. Also sometimes diversions that seem odd have to take place due to lack of route knowledge (to train a whole depot of around 50 drivers and 50 guards for example would take forever if there were only four allowed on one route learning loco at one time).Hey Sean...
I don't think there's a lack of paths on the DCL to my knowledge.

Managed to squeeze £200 worth of tickets in, just days before the scheme stops running.
Just got to make sure that and the 930points I have are used before September! Fancying a trip to Inverness and milking a 1st for all its worth! Although the 082x northbound to Dundee/Aberdeen is useful as you get breakfast by Alnmouth and dinner just after crossing the Forth.
Need to top it up, to get the balance just right for a standard single too somehow.
Can't see Nectar being as generous and not letting the points go to waste.
We all love a good conspiracy.
Here, two Jags lines up Souter and Norman Baker.

(15 Feb 2015, 8:13 pm)JoshP I don't think the HST sets will suit the current Virgin beading very well at all! Even the class 91's will struggle to pull it off I reckon! I hope my mind will be changed when I see one hopefully soon
