Do these fields have a postcode or name  Laughing
Last time we drove passed the entrance on our left then turned left up a long road and walked through some fields to the left of this. Are these the ones you mean?

I'm sure Gaz will correct me, but as you drove past the entrance, the field on the right is where the coal trains are staged. Regarding the maintenance shed, the one you walked across was in Sleaford Lane, which i believe, is where Gaz was on about.

Thanks guys.

Gaz - just make sure you keep 888 on site until a week on Saturday please! And park it in full view of the fields as well  Wink

spoke to the coal driver he has told DBS he wants to keep 08888 at ketton instead of 08784 . coz 08888 cant go mainline now as it has no TPWS on it

Managed to see 888 a week last Sat (20th). Partially hidden behind the trees. Why couldn't you leave it out in the open where 613 and 870 were  Laughing
