Gen Request: Valentas to Penzance

Post by **James** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 11:39 pm

Sorry for going off topic Pete, but desperate times call for desperate measures!

I'm still trying to get a Valenta-engined HST from Taunton/Exeter to Penzance, and now there's only SIX left, it's going to be pretty much impossible without prior knowledge of what's running and where!

If anyone can access gen for these Ex-Paddingtons on Wed 14th November before they reach Taunton/Exeter and reply here/e-mail/text it to me, then I will be forever in your debt. If you can get gen to me at some crazy time in the middle of the night, even better! Anyone on nights?

07.30
10.05
12.05
14.05
15.05
16.05

Cheers,

James.

Oh bugger. I'd gone out by the time you posted.

Thanks anyway.

One more try tomorrow...please send any Valenta gen to 07807 863951 as I won't be online to read it here/HST Gen/GWgen/SWRG.

p.s. This includes Valentas to Plymouth/Paignton as well; the sea wall is another must!

Got it (43015) Newport - Parkway and back today, and also saw 43002 at Temple Meads. I can't believe how lucky I am with regards to seeing Valentas. Saw my stalker/good-luck unit 158747 twice, though, so I'm sure she had something to do with it; whenever I see 747 I have a great day!
