Hi all,

A train with what looked like oil tanks just went past Coventry Arena with the scrambled headcode of 637H. Any idea what this was?

Thanks

Good evening everyone - no livestock, dairy or otherwise, to spark debate tonight. Can anyone please assist with a deciphered headcode for the working below. It was an engineering working from Barry Links to Millerhill SS yesterday, passing through Kirkcaldy at 1259.

Many thanks.
S.
PS can anyone assist with this working. It doesn't appear on RTT but was sat on the furthest road opposite Carlisle Kingmoor Yard yesterday afternoon. Locos were 90042 up front and 90048 in 2nd place.

6K22 for the first one.

For your 2x 90s assuming it was c.5-6pm you saw them at Carlisle it would be: 4M49 13:09 Coatbridge Freightliner Terminal to Crewe Basford Hall SSM

(I captured that pair on my Flickr heading North on the Saturday afternoon on 4S44)

One last request for tonight. Again it relates to Carlisle Kingmoor Yard yesterday afternoon. 37424 "Avro Vulcan XH558" worked north from Appleby light engine as 058K. I would be grateful if anyone could supply the correct headcode. Thanks in advance as always, S.

Why is 70816 lisited in my locomotives book?

Do you mean not listed? If so, it's maybe that 70816 was one of the last ones to be delivered (70817 is the highest numbered one) so might not have been delivered/registered when your book was published?

Hi

Could anyone find out what's on tonights 4M48 1904 Mossend Euroterminal to Daventry Drs (Tesco)?

It was double headed by 88002 and 88009 on the Northbound 4S43 so wondering if it is the same case Southbound.

Thanks.

Sorry Sarah - gave you duff info above re. 37424 - 0C37 was the outward journey from Kingmoor to Appleby - now twigged you were after the return. I can't find a "real headcode" - went in as a VSTP and all I can see is "Train ID: ∇35313". So not sure if someone else can confirm what the headcode was for the return to Kingmoor?

Interestingly, TOPS has 88002 at Kingmoor and 4S43 was delayed c.40 mins at Kingmoor this morning, so not sure if 88002 came off there?

This pic (a friends, not mine) today shows 4S43 through Holytown: http://scottishtrains.zenfolio.com/p783212074/h993c9256

Any idea where 88010 is? I noticed it sitting in the exact same spot a few days in a row at Motherwell TMD and wondered of 002 was to swap with it.

Aye - I spotted a pic of it too at Beattock with both locos on, so I edited off the comment about 002 possibly coming off ;)

TOPS has had it at Mossend ("Mossend Euroterminal RfD Europe") for the last 4/5 days, but that doesn't seem to tie in with your Mk1 Eyeball, so probably TOPS being as reliable as ever. Either way, I don't think its worked anywhere and is still in the Motherwell/Mossend area as far as I know.

88010 now showing at Kingmoor on TOPS!?

I'm suspecting TOPS info for the 88s is pretty inaccurate for some reason... this morning it has 009 at Mossend, when by all accounts it was on the service last night to Daventry. It has 88010 at Kingmoor, although not sure how it got there (if indeed it was at Mossend/Motherwell over the past couple of days). 88002 is then showing at Crewe, but last we saw of it was yesterday when it went up with 88009 to Mossend...???!!

I think 010 might be at Kingmoor now, two moves happened yesterday:

1st: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R01644/2017/10/16/advanced

2nd: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R01645/2017/10/16/advanced

I also saw a pic this morning that was (apparently, no date viewable) yesterday showing 88010 being dragged by either 68006 or 68007.

Todays n/b Tesco was last reported as 66433 and 434 at Bolton le Sands.

EDIT: Todays 4S43 was actually 66430 and 434, not 66433. Unsure if wrong info reported of it loco change occured.

I think TOPS is having issues judging by posts above aswell as 59003 is shown as being at Drax despite not being there ! And 66040 has worked 6M90 Avonmouth - Clitheroe Castle Cement despite TOPS showing it as 66095

88010 is now heading back to Motherwell, just passed Holytown with this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O35935/2017/10/17/advanced

On that note, would anyone be able to give the headcode of that working?

EDIT: Another headcode request: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O35831/2017/10/17/advanced

Thanks in advance.
