It still sounds like EWS would not be involved with providing a crew and the WCR would, they seem to sign most classes of loco.

It doesn't matter to me where the crew come from, just so long as they are in control and everything goes okay.

slightly off topic, there were no less than 5 class 31s at Derby today !

Class 31's
I was lucky enough to be on the RAILWAYS COAL-STONE HAUL out of Bristol which was headed by 31105 and 31285 with a Class 50 Defiance on the tail end.

That 50 was 50049, which sounded good even for crawling along freight lines! |
On the way from Yate to the Tytherington quarry 50049 suffered a loss of water with a broken radiator pipe. A quick fix was done and water was supplied via a garden hose at Engine Common, If you know the area, it's the house with a old red phone box out in the field. That man sure saved the rest of our trip. The two class 31's gave no problems.

Apparently one of the 31s had a flashover somewhere, might have been after the tour mind. We did wonder why it was a bit late coming back from Tytherington, that clears that up!
