Day 11 - April 18 th 2011:<br />
Leaving Antwerp(en) en route to the coast and<br />
home, we called in at Merelbeke (Gent) and<br />
were refused, but picked up 35 around and<br />
passing.<br />
Grand Synthe (France) only had 3 in the yard<br />
and we got permission at Sollac as long as we<br />
did not take any photos!<br />
Due to the above we spent less time than<br />
anticipated and therefore managed to get on an<br />
earlier shuttle and that was the end of the lad’s<br />
week 2011.<br />

WAGON UPDATES (to UKRS No.3 UK Wagons 2012) by Trevor Roots:<br />
To allow members to keep their copy as up to date as possible, it is intended to provide changes via<br />
this spot every month. It is known that various wagons reportedly withdrawn or missing from previous<br />
editions are still in service so if any member can provide information please let Trevor know, contact<br />
details on page 2. With preparation of the 2013 book underway please forward any amendments /<br />
improvements via the editor email asap. I have the missing wagons previously reported over the year<br />
but I would appreciate as much info as possible from the active members amongst you.<br />
Nothing to report<br />

Belonging to ICRS tells us you have an interest in vehicles involved in travel, whether it is to do with<br />
their design or simply number-crunching. That being the case, have you also got an interest in buses<br />
in the UK ? GBBG may already be known to you from its link with ICRS in the past, but if you haven’t<br />
thought about joining us before, why not reconsider? Our annual membership subscription has now<br />
been reduced to a modest £13.60, so why not visit our website www.gb-bg.co.uk or write to our<br />
Secretary, Hazel Roberts, at 37 Abbey Place, Crewe CW1 4JR for further information? It could well be<br />
of benefit to you as a fellow transport enthusiast.<br />
