Signed up for Cycle the Month for @ProstateUK again for the 3rd year running, I’m a fatty this year though so it’s going to be hard doing 100 miles in August! @bessbbe @heather_waugh @GBRailfreight @S26PHY @DownOnTheStour @SlugsUploads @colinmcfarlane

@erixtar1992 We were 30 late into London for the sleeper shunt, seems to be problems around Watford, lots of people on the concourse in Euston too, gonna be late getting off Wembley that’s for sure

@MysteriosoX The ‘HIGNFY’ sketch from the same show was perfect too, so much so that I cant watch the real program any more without thinking about it

@IPhillips79 Saw them live in 96 the week after ‘Moseley shoals’ came out, riverboat songs was massive thanks to TFI so as you can imagine it was an amazing gig

@bessbbe @DaveWeb93044940 I should really, I do remember the first train I drove in my own was 158853, kept a record back then, these are 142, 150, 156, 158 and 175s I drove in my first year

@Toms9171 I probably have, I bet if I went through my pics I could work it out, I drove a fair few of them with fastline as they hired them in from GB, done a few dozen DB and freightliner, all the DRS and current colas ones too

@bessbbe @DaveWeb93044940 I’ve been here over 6 years and I recon I’ve not driven them all, I don’t keep a record though so I’ll never know for sure!

@mattymidland Was thinking the same thing when I end up on Sheffield routed jobs, Hereford model centre is my current Achilles heel

Bit of an update, it’s now at 12k miles, going to go over and see him tomorrow and I’ll get some pics, he needs to line up a replacement car and it should be up for sale in a few weeks hopefully

@FreddSays Yeah, i was surprised when he said it was on its original tyres when he bought it, as I’ve put elsewhere he took them straight off and fitted new

@RTD81873780 @idriveaclassic @PaulCowland_ @LateBrakeShow @joncoupland @bolderston_mark Yeah, he had them wrapped out before he even took it out on the road, similarly all the aux belts were changed for the same reason, they looked fine but better to be safe than sorry

@SlugsUploads I really need to get back into the weight loss again, 7 stone lost in 2021 and now 6 arone back on again, I know once I start again I’ll be fine losing but I’ve lost the motivation at the moment

@S26PHY @bessbbe No, this particular helmet disaster was in 2019, I don’t think I’ve recovered psychologically from seeing all those crisps on the floor, suffering PTSD from it
