not as much as you might think, used to move a lot of coal but nothing now. Mostly cement and materials for engineering work.

well light engine would run as a class 0 so its max speed is 75mph if the line speed us 90 or above, if below 90 then max speed is 60mph.

no cd or sat nav but a kettle/fridge/microwave etc never go hungry

I drive freight and engineering trains. 125 in a passenger train feels fairly slow, I find it far worse doing 60 in a freight/engineering train that doesn't want to stop.

hmm I should correct that as he would be our electrician and kitchen fitter/supplier?. I'm in Horsley atm route learning, I think that's your way? Unfortunately someone's been hit so I guess its paperwork today

I get it a lot, no, wheel signaller sets the route so you need to know where your going, as you can't go where you don't sign. One girl asked if they have wheels because she's had only been on the underground.

Yer we stayed there for 7 years to try and recoup some, ended up with 32k of negative equity. Luckily got a job driving trains (not southern), so now we're back at square one.

Hey, We're only looking atm, found a few sites that are a possibility. Might need to find a site that can fit two houses now, as I've also managed to talk my bother in law into self building. Currently spending some time in Surrey for work atm and wish my wife would move this way. What I've seen is very nice.

Hi I've been a long time reader here and ebuild. I'm renting in a town called Keynsham near Bristol with a wife and two daughters. After losing a lot of money by buying a house in December 2007, we refuse to buy another new build and I have convinced the other half we should self build. So just a thanks and apologies for the bombardment of questions I will send your way.

I had the same problem and fixed it by spraying some silicone lubricant on it, never had a problem with it since.
