Hi Alan, Thanks for the info, I think the Moors Valley has two ex BR / Virgin drivers that know my father, will be worth a trip. As for meeting up for a coffee or a beer, coffee no, beer certainly!!! I won't have access to emails as from tomorrow, we set out about 11am, (will miss the radio clubevent, shame really, I am into radio a little.) so I will give you my mobile numbers; 07825 258833 07795 033773 I don't know what signal will be like in Corfe castle but with two different mobile providers, I might stand a chance.
