hi dayranger, i may be wrong... and im not having a go, but this isn't a gen site and by posting this it potentially opens up the flood gates for everyone to start new topics for various workings...
i would recommend the yahoo group 'sw gen' which is quite good more and more people across the southwest are now using it and when i used it for the kernow irruptor railtour i was getting more or less perfect live updates from people up the line and onboard

Good call relex. I know what 'Kernow' refers to (Cornwall), but what's this 'Irruptor' business?

Confused of Bristol dot com. Huh

I know I'm tired, but am I missing an obvious pun? Paging CfN... Wink

I was referring it to being called Curnow - by the tour organiser, not you - its Kernow....

Rail tours in the UK^▸ often take on special names, which can include slang at times!
My take on this one would be the 'erupt' in the Irrupter which must have had the class 37's for double noise and smoke!

Perhaps the most ironic example of this was the 'Bone Breaker' tour, promoted by Pathfinder, which ran several years ago. It was billed as a farewell to the Class 58s which were known within the crank community as 'bones' due to their shape when viewed in planform.

Unfortunately for all concerned the train actually collided at low speed with the bufferstops at Walton-on-the-Naze which did result in at least one broken leg and some broken ribs. The train was terminated, bringing a fairly ignominious end to the passenger career of the class 58s (such as it ever was, since they were more or less exclusively freight locos and only hauled passenger trains in extremis or on charter work).
