Apologies also for how poor yesterday and today were; this was due to a quick journey and tight connections respectively.

During enginnering work between Gillingham / Rainham and Faversham on Saturday 5th April 2014 there were two 4-car class 375 Electrostars (I didn't get the unit numbers as I was on my way to Italy

) on the Sheerness Branch which is unusual as 466s usually operate on the line. It turns out that no 466s were available to operate on the line as no 466s could get to Sittingbourne from Slade Green or Gillingham because of the engineering work and there were no 466s at Faversham either.

Well I've finally caught up with reading posts on here, and I'm up way earlier than I expected today so I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to get my observations typed up! Gonna take a while as I've got to refer to RTT a fair bit so bear with me. In case anyone's wondering how come I was able to make such early morning observations, Monday's day out followed a 'norm' night out in Hereford, which finished around 0300 and I was booked out of Hereford at 0526.

Pairs of HST power cars noted, aside from those already listed above (you might have guessed I was having a very busy day so didn't have time to note passing times or whatever to get exact service details, so these will have to do!): 43135+43024, 43022+43079, 43179+43181, 43127+43155, 43033+43183, 43151+43032

That took about an hour and a half to process, took about 3 notepad files on my phone to keep note of it all, if I'd noted passing times etc of the 332s and HSTs it would have been even worse!

Two reactions immediately come to mind there, the first:

*Goes off ranting and raving that I was only going to break when it was getting to Llwynypia* :lol:

The second, well it involved a hand gesture...

I can't wait to get that infernal thing underlined in the book, although that said 150105 will re-replace it as the bane of my life! :lol:

I have no idea what has happened to 150105; apparently it's been at Tyseley for about two years!

Your right. Every time I pass on the train to Birmingham (Moor Street) it is sat there and you can easily get the number.

Yes. Two of the four diagrams on the Coryton Line are now booked for a 153, as of the December 2012 timetable change

Only 3 Diagrams for Radyr to Coryton not 4

PHILIPE said:

Oh, I always thought there was four.

Oh wait, I know why. 2A60 1842 Bridgend to Aberdare is booked for a pair of Pacers. Upon arrival at Cardiff Central, they split. Only the first unit continues onto Aberdare. The rear unit then forms 2C51 1951 Cardiff Central to Coryton.

Earlier in the day, I thought it was two Pacers and two 153s.

As for sightings today, just ONE from me today as I've been in work all day. Pathetic I know.

It was 175116 on 1B92 2015 Cardiff Central to Milford Haven.

I was hoping it was going to be a double 175, which it normally is, but not today sadly! Most disappointed as double 175s are rare these days!

It was in use the other week on the Hereford route, when I was last going to Cardiff it was out and I was really annoyed I didn't think to check it before going to Cardiff but hey!

No more sightings from me for a while I'm afraid as I'm not due out on the rails until the 19th. No idea where yet either as I've not actually got on with booking it yet!

Not a bad 45 minutes at all, if I do say so myself. Would have been even better if the North Blyth to Fort William Alcan freight working was also running, but you can't win them all.

Ah that's annoying!

Just a bit!

220006 or 220008 (was going so fast I couldn't see!)

That was a good thing about each Voyager having a name way back when, made it easier to ID Voyagers by some way. Feels like a very long time since 220s carried names!

The Colas Hoo - Whitemoor passed Ely at 14.20 last Monday (12th May) double headed - 66846 with 70802.
Is this the first time a 708** has been up here?

(Hope this is the right thread this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

ValleyLines142 · 14 May 2014

Unfortunately, as one of the regular posters on this thread, I smashed my phone last night, which has all of my sightings on! Yesterday I had a heck of a lot of sightings which I was going to upload. Luckily my phone is insured so I'll receive a replacement fairly soon, although I just hope that I haven't lost any of my personal data!

Hi Percy Main, yes you are indeed on the correct thread for this sort of thing

I really couldn't comment on 70/8s, I have absolutely no gen on what they do, although I was flabbergasted when I read the other day that Colas are getting some 37s!

hock:

DanTrainMan185: Ouch! I've got a damaged screen myself so I know the feeling. Shouldn't have affected your data on your phone though, I use my phone a LOT too for noting my observations. Much easier than digging out the notebook sometimes!

They own four (37116/175/219/421), all of which are stored at Washwood Heath. As they were bought out of preservation, they should all be operational (219 recently appeared at the Mid Norfolk Railway diesel gala). And they still carry heritage colours (Mainline blue on 116 and 219, BR Blue Large logo on 175, and Regional Railways on 175), but for how long?

As for the 70/8s, I've not heard much on them operating in the Whitemoor area. I believe the Hoo-Whitemoor is dominated by 66/8s. The 70/8s seem to work out of Eastleigh, working services to Westbury and Bescot
