Hi all,

This is probably an unusual request:

I’m currently away from the UK, returning on Friday morning. I see that the very elusive 88010 “Aurora” is on the Tesco Train (4L48 Daventry-Tilbury). Just my luck it should be while I’m away! But does anyone know whether it’s likely to stay on the circuit until Friday? I can’t see any Daventry-Crewe STP light engine moves yet, is that a good sign? Thanks!
It's on that circuit today.

Any news regarding 50008 + 50021 off Alton (following Gala) for Eastleigh?
The booked departure was 11:21. Data fed to RTT shows not yet left. I see no alternative path (e.g. via the SWML)

Told the 50's are waiting at Alton on MHR side but no-one seems to know why they arent moving.

Thanks for that. The delay and worsening weather, means I won't see them today.
It makes a marked difference to when they passed me last Thursday (photos are near top of this page of my thread)

Latest news : Train not leaving today owing to a guaging restriction on Class 50's between Aldershot & Aldershot North Jct.

There was an issue with the paperwork which once is sorted out, should allow the train to run under restrictions.

Thanks for the insight. Curious about that. The Hoovers ran the same route last Thursday. I wonder if the gauging issue is only specific to the actual running line they'll run along.

Afternoon, could anyone tell me which GBRf unit was at the quarry near Horton-in-Ribblesdale? Thought from a distance it was 60021 but my eyes could well be wrong

Hello,

There is a loco working from Shildon to Carnforth Steamtown on Thursday, I was wondering if this would be a 33, 37 or 47.

Thanks

A curiosity from today (Monday 15th).

At around 1530 something (3 car, TfW livery) left Crewe on the Chester line. I don't think it was the 1521 Crewe-Chester which left pretty much to time and it didn't look like a 197 - I saw it through vegetation so didn't get a clear view.

Can anyone identify what it was?

Have looked on Trust and it doesn’t show any trains leaving Crewe towards Chester between the 1521 and the 1621 (197113).
