Virgin Railways - Improved
14/03/05 17:33
Well with a
change in work placement, I'm back using the railways
in the North West again. This time, the difference
from 2003, is that the old Virgin West Coast rolling
stock has gone and now it is Pendolinos or Voyagers.
It's a shame that I only sit on for about 35 minutes.
Then unfortunately, I'm onto a branch line that uses
what are probably still called DMUs - like a bus on
rails. This is such a difference.
Of course, it is also surprising to see the amount of engineering work going on the lines, from felling many bushes and trees too close to the lines to replacement of ballast and track.
