4VEP EMU's 423589, 423424 and 423494 on their last journey...the end is very nigh indeed for the last of the MKI stock still in service
And who's going to save a 4VEP? No one...they're useless to preserved lines...

Latest reports on the gen groups say that the 47 is blocking the mainline and everything is being diverted via Box!

Let's take this as a sign that the gods are displeased with the scrapping of 4Veps!

I wonder what will be sent out to "rescue" the train? Maybe they'll leave the 47 at Caerwent too

I believe a 67 is now on the train. Arrived at Parkway 16.39.
It's going to be gone before I finish work

Does the bookshop need another member of staff?
