Great Western Coffee Shop

while walking the dogs today i heard the familiar but rare sound of a paxman powered hst with the turbo's blowing away loudly.
it was between worle and uphill junction heading south.the hst in question was ex MML and was followed by a voyager 10 mins later.as they were so close together suggests to me it was not a cross country set so is it a new addition to the fgw fleet?

It was Cross Country - running late!

Does 9S66 0830 Penzance - Dundee tomorrow
1025 PLY
1230 BTM

that explains why they were so close together then.

it makes a change to see a smokey and noisy power car again though

9V57 0900 Glasgow - Penzance

38 late at Bristol

Currently 56 late passing Teignmouth

It is fully refubed/relieved yet?

Ex MML state. 43007 and 43184 both with original Paxman Valenta engines. Clearly unreliable. Sunday's run got cancelled and Vomitafied!

Eekk! Economy Klaus thought he had it bad with "Adelanted" - he should be glad it was not Vomitafied!

completely off topic i know,but what is with all the new posts being moved or yet again moved in title and all are either connor of lee fletcher?

Conner performed PA (personal attack) and then abused his powers as mod.

He then went on a rampage - he threw every toy out!

Lee has been cleaning up the mess....

To my knowledge, all the threads that are being moved include material posted by Conner which break our acceptable user policy - either by including personal attacks on other members, or by disclosing confidential discussions between moderators which we inevitably need to have if (for example) we need to decide between ourselves what is and isn't acceptable in a post.

As Btline posted while I was writing this  ;D  Lee and the rest of the moderator team is helping clear up.

Conner was a moderator - don't think he had admin/mod rights when he went on a rampage, so to speak.

ok thanks for the explanations,seems the remaining mods got work cut out cleaning up.

Been lingering for a while now. Myabe a bad time to register but I would say Conner was a moderator and lost the status this morning, he was never to my knowledge an admin.

And to be fair you are quite annoying Btline and I side with Conner.

Sorry, I used the wrong word!

That was a very interesting first post from "The Discrete Info" - and it raised my concern. Further investigations showed the member's profile to be rather unusual, so I have as a precuation locked the account. If the member would like to email me (and read the AUP section about personal attacks too) I would be happy to hear. I am at graham@wellho.net

Indeed - but we've got a good strong team.    Best get back to that work  ;)
