    Timings and advance information are subject to change at short notice from the relevant Train/Freight Operating Companies and can change due to loco failures or requirements for a loco to be elsewhere, ie: for maintenance or another working. The editor does not usually sit at his computer all day long, or have access to a PC 'on tap', so when allocations change or workings differ then the incorrect information will remain on the site until the next update. To aid the viewer, the last update time is listed with that days news until the following day.

    Opinions shown are those of the editor unless otherwise stated. The editor puts a large amount of his own spare time into updating this website and he attempts to see the updating of the site as 'fun' and enjoyable, thus things can sometimes seem unprofessional.
    He will endeavour to use all information/photographs (where he sees as relevant to class 47's) when he has time, amounts of information are occasionally overlooked when editing time runs out (due to personal life/working life reasons). Contributions are always saved and are usually used eventually (even known to be several years later!).
