Somebody has to ask - when did the last wheeltapper tap his last? I remember in the early '80s being surprised in Sheffield to hear our train being tapped - hadn't heard that sound for years.

Chuffchuff - in the course of my business I recently visited the works of the main (only?) wheelset manufacturer in Britain and persuaded my contact to show me round. He said that no wheelsets were now tyred (although some were knackered).
