Peter, LOROL units do not appear on TOPS / TRUST so unless anybody has access to whatever it is they do use your friend is likely to be out of luck I'm afraid. All I can say is that I haven't travelled in it on the Euston / Watford DC since May but don't read anything into that as I have been out of the country for nearly three weeks!

OK thanks - I was hoping that someone from LOROL might be on here, although given their relatively small size...

That sounds like 1V63 1607 from Manchester, which terminated at Bristol and shunted out of the station to allow 1V64 1306 Edinburgh to Plymouth to drop off a set where ex-1V63 attached to it ready to form 1M77 2000 to Birmingham.

If it was 1V63 I shall find out what unit it was.

Could well be, it was crawling out of BRI slowly.

Would be grateful for the unit number.

Also can anyone get my the unit for 1M83 tonight?

This is more of a headcode/working request (rather post here than start a new thread).
153351, which was at Cleethorpes this afternoon has just in the past 45 minutes departed Cleethorpes empty. Have checked RTT but there is no possible working for it (just the usual Transpennine Express workings).
Would appreciate it if someone could provide info as to where it is/was going.

Thanks, Sam

It worked a 5G51 1710 ECS Cleethorpes to Sheffield VSTP working. Seem to be a lot of changes to services at Cleethorpes today although I don't know the reason other than suspecting engineering works somewhere?

Trains terminating at Manchester Piccadilly. Don't know why (TPE website doesn't suggest why either).

For future reference, Leeds Balm Road Loco is actually Leeds Midland Road TMD these days!

MARK

Ah, excellent - thanks Mark

We saw it yesterday doing what is an unusual move anyway of the Denton Line to the Huddersfield line through Guide Bridge

Leeds Midland Road TMD makes sense. I wonder why the systems still have the old name.

Laziness, probably!

Another example in the Leeds area is the Tarmac stone terminal,
which is still referred to as 'Hunslet Tilcon', despite Tilcon being
defunct for many years now!

Possibly find it hasn't been changed as a lot of the signalling systems still mention it as "Balm Road Sidings" and would mean a bit of hassle for us S&T and the signallers to change it. Probably not worth the cost.
