I have been talking with the staff on Lancaster station today 18/09/07 and they are of the opinion that 033 will not run again from what they have heard on the grapevine.

Whilst on the other side of the country Hull Trains are in the same scenario. Will this mean Virgin have to change their plans for the revamped 2008 timetable? I would have guessed that this would have meant at least one Pendolino on spare duties meaning Virgin relying on the rest for the job.

More than likely David, that will be the case.

On Wednesday 03/10/07 I did my 50th trip on my 50th Pendolino, just two more to go and then I can have a rest, it`s hard chasing the last ones.

I've heard that some of the carriges are write-offs, and will be scrapped, or stripped for spares.
New carriges to make up a full set will not be built due to cost, and the remaining cars will be used when needed.

I am waiting for my last Pendlino to come out of the workshop at Polmadie namely 390 002 it has been in there since Sat 06/10/07 so I can have a run on it and then hang my gloves up and tally up the charity money I have made. Here`s hoping.

I have just got back from Lancaster where I finally got 390 002 and went down to Preston on it, that completes the remaining 52 Pendolino`s, I have had a run on all of them now, I will now send £52.00 to the Macmillan Nurses at the cancer hospice in Blackburn. I have enjoyed doing this and it has taken me almost six weeks. Not bad to say I could not get on a train or bus or car at the beginning of this year due to panic attacks, and this is my way of saying thanks. I would like to thank Ian, Debra and Bob at Lancaster station for their help and support.

Chris.
