From Ian at 2007-07-03 21:04:51 : LIke the idea of a 9F in HST Blue/Grey with a full rake of MK3 coaches and correct power car at the rear. A great site and plenty to have a good laugh at. Some actually look better than the real thing did or actually do now. Keep up the excellent work, and rats to the purists.

From BusDriverMan at 2009-01-01 22:32:13 : The SR wanted to keep steam on the Waterloo-Exeter line until it could be electrified, which would have meant keeping these until the 70s. This was politically unacceptable, so the BRB very suddenly transferred all the Southern routes west of Salisbury to the WR, who had the diesel-hydraulics. It's an interesting 'what-if' though - if the SR had kept steam and the Exeter route until the 70s, then electrified the route and introduced a Mk2-based 442-style unit!
