Formation for anyone interested as leading from Victoria

66769-4998-4991-4946-1671-3147-3146-3123-3119-80042-3141-3110-35469-73963-73965

 

[LRV3004]

37407 + 37425 planned apparently

Those two were paired up on Gresty Bridge last night. Allocated to 6G94 to Bescot this morning. They end up back at Crewe later on tonight so could well be a possibility for the tour.

Hey guys
Do we know when the overnight leg is meant to leave Acton Sidings tomorrow evening yet? Hoping to film the 86 but cant find anything on RTT at the moment?

no timings on there yet but generally as an estimate it will be 30-40 mins after arrival.

 

[50002Superb]

Refused entry to Bow.

changing ends at Stratford station

 

[306024]

Just left Stratford between the 14.30 Liverpool St - Norwich and the 14.36 Liverpool St - Colchester Town so about 25 mins late.

 

[LRV3004]

Looking like 37425+37407 for the DRS 37s - they are allocated to go dead in train on 6C02 from Crewe to Carlisle Kingmoor tomorrow morning.

I saw them heading for Crewe this afternoon with 66426.

 

[Nickdeltic01]

Do you know what is reason that GBRF Charter can't go to Bow West Depot Yard? and Stopping at Stratford?

 

[DanNCL]

Refused by signaller. Believed to be down to paperwork issues, but I don't know anything more than that.

 

[ainsworth74]

Bow West Depot Yard? and Stopping at Stratford?

Complete guess on my part but they were running 35 down and arrived at Stratford after they should have left Bow so I wonder if permission was refused to avoid getting in the way of any depot activities? I note they were only scheduled for a sixteen minute visit which suggests a tight schedule to me!

This is what we were told on the train

we were ahead of time I believe, the reason it was 35 late into Stratford was being held due to the paperwork issues

66426 will also be in the consist of 6C02! For the sake of completeness, 68007 will be the main loco for 6C02 tomorrow.

I hope it will be one of the non-sleeper 92s for the overnight leg tomorrow (the ones which haven't been modified to run with the Mk5 coaches)

Should be 92032 (subject to usual disclaimers).

 

[LRV3004]

The red pen will be staying in my pocket in that case!!! Had 92032 from Preston to Wigan North Western on Pathfinder’s “Calder Revolver” railtour back on 23rd September 2000, so almost 21 years ago!!!!

 

[matt]

And looks like 86101 for the 86 bit.

It has also worked the sleeper on Mk3s too.

Loco wise it's looking like 86101, 92032, 37407 + 37425, 91130, 50007 + 50044 + 50049 & 69001. Not sure on the 60 admittedly.

Saw that earlier while walking through for my train. It’s sat on top of 90001+90002+a rake of Intercity Mark 3 coaches - very nostalgic!

There isn't some magic 92 that is going to please all. I guess a 'non-sleeper' 92 is better from the perspective of all the other ones being easier to cover in the future rather than what people have had in the past.

Not sure on the 60 admittedly.

Or any 66 that is due to operate on Sunday.

Precisely! Still looking forward to the tour regardless, I’ve done the previous two four day excursions and they’ve both been absolutely fantastic - I’ve made new friends as a result of travelling on these tours! I’ll score 92032 for its livery though!!!

Who cares?

[Spirit555]

60 being quoted as 60056

Should be leading the tour blunt end first then? The buffers on both ends have had the signature Mr Corrie treatment too
