Good morning

Does anyone know which class 387s are in the sidings at Reading, Maidenhead and West Ealing around now (1005) today (02/09)? Many thanks in advance.

Also, I have just seen a load (around 8) of class 800/801/802s near North Pole. Anyone know what these were?
I couldn't ID them all but I can tell you that 387133/142/148/149 are among those at Reading

Thanks Tim.
PS you were right about the Royal Scotsman going to Kilmarnock yesterday. In a script that would have graced any Ealing Comedy I skillfully failed to capture it at Leuchars, Invergowrie and finally at Gleneagles. Sometimes it just aint your day....

Good evening

Could I also ask the same questions for this evening (around 2010)? I assume that much is the same from this morning.

I also saw two GWR class 57s at Old Oak Common, and around 5 locomotives in Acton Yard - does anyone know what these were?

Many thanks in advance

142072 hasn't worked for nearly a year following a fire and eventually went to Wolverton for assessment. About 3 months ago it returned to Canton by road and the last I heard of it, it was parked outside Canton. So far as I'm aware it hasn't returned to traffic but we don't seem to have any Forum members who are in the know . Just have to watch this space.

Ah okay, I've heard mixed things (someone even reported it in service a few months back) but if it's out of use then my request is just for the other two.

Hello again, does anyone know what units worked the following services on the dates specified:

1M44 1617 Shieldmuir Mail Terminal to Warrington Royal Mail(Dbs) - 01/09/17
I know that 325005 worked the front of this and 325007 was on the back, but I did not get the middle unit (It was a 12 car set).
2F49 1023 Motherwell to Glasgow Central - 03/09/17

Thanks

Good morning

Can't help with the 387s as not in work for a few days.

When I passed North Pole Saturday morning about half eight there was:
800004 nearest the main line
UID green IET behind (800003 was over at OOC so possibly an 802)
800001 & 800002 were furthest from the main line and coupled together.
On arrival at Paddington 800010 & 800013 were platformed and headed out shortly afterwards so could have ended up in NP as well.

Does anybody know when 800003 made the move to OOC or the whereabouts of the 802 units, please?

Nice easy one...

The two red locos at the Old Oak Open Day Saturday, which ones were they exactly?

Hiya, has anyone got the second 465 that was operating 2B51 (1201 Dartford-Cannon St) today? 466021 was on the front, and 465162 was on the back; I think the middle one was 187 but I can't recall!
Also, does anyone know which 315 was working with 315820 today?
Thanks in advance!

Just to bump this again:
1/9/17
2B51, 1201 Dartford-Cannon St: 466021 + 465162 + 465xxx (poss. 465187?)
and
the 315 leading 315820.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)

Hello All

I hope I'm not too late for someone to look up the units / power cars that operated the following trains on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August 2017:

2P37 0819 Peterborough - King's Cross (a single 365) and
1C10 1030 London Paddington - Bristol Temple Meads (the front power car is what I need as I'm fairly sure it was 43168 on the rear).

Thank you for any help as always...

You're correct about 43168 and the other one was 43034 - here's a photo of the set later that day having done a return working to Paddington from Bristol (1A18), then heading west again on 1C86 to Penzance... https://flic.kr/p/Y7hTMy (not mine)

Can't help with the 365 I'm afraid. Others might though.
