Reported on WNXX website that 68016 has worked 4K97 from Crewe - Ely with ADRC96715 and support coaches. Don't know if they'll be used as apparently access is very restricted.

Lets have a meeting about a meeting about a meeting and then plan another meeting. As an experienced engineer and ex railwaym...

As a plater welder I would say needle gunning is imperative, aggression definitely required. If there is corrosion there it needs to be removed before any ultrasonics are performed. Looks like you're doing a great job, don't be tempted to cut corners. It really is a shame you're not nearer to me in ...
