Shame there's no pictures- would be good if the people who are going to use it get to see.

Well done Liam. I checked Railway Centre at just before 7pm and nothing was there. What an improvement they look really good.

They look fine - but how robust will they be?

Surely BSI to BSI..... hehe, Just hope the mechanical work IS actually some good as they have been getting notoriously unreliable lately. Notice the 12:44 PLY to PNZ and 14:50 PNZ to PLY caped today due to class 150 failure....
