With huge thanks to Freightliner, Sunday will feature 66621 and 66622 operating in multi! Now the hot topic of debate is will they be in the correct numerical order?! To enjoy a ride behind these locomotives, you can book on shuttle five OR shuttle six.

Shuttle five will see the Freightliner pair work from Barrow Hill to Derby (having taken over from the pair of DRS Class 68s), whereas shuttle six will see the much sought after locos work from Derby to Barrow Hill before handing over to EPR Class 37 37407.

Just a reminder, we have been advised that it is expected Derby station will be exceptionally busy and a queuing system may be in place. Access to the station will only be permitted for ticket holders / special ticket holders only. East Midlands Railway advises that you should allow extra time to navigate the station. As such, we advise all tickets for Branch Line Society special charter trains are purchased in advance on www.branchline.uk as pay on the day from Derby will not be available. We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time, so please be respectful to station staff and fellow passengers, and obey instructions given by staff and stewards."

That is interesting because it suggests 37716 has vacuum brakes as well as air. I was under the mistaken impression that DRS had isolated its vacuum system when owned by them.

Unless of course the 31 or the 45 would translate the brake for it, to control the vac only system on the 44s.
The 37 was 37516 I believe

As unsurprising as that is, I'd hope that doesn't lead to people, especially those with advance tickets, missing services as a result.
Is something happening in Derby then? Good evening everyone.

Anyone know what 730, 398/0, 360/1, 99/0, 68/0, Railadventure's 2 HST's and WCR's 58 and 47 are going to the gathering?
Some of those could be educated guesses.but no idea on the 730/0 and the 360/1.
Did a 398 get moved from Cardiff to Asfordby last week ?
The 99s will be 001 and 002 as they are the only ones in the country - maybe one will be named ?
No idea on the 68 but is there a pretty one > 004 maybe ?
Railadventure wouldn't send the undercoated pair so that mean per any two of the four which seem to be "glued" together
I guess your reference to WCR is a 57 rather than 58 so presumably somethin already on its way to Derby with exhibits. Maybe 57314 which dragged 86401 from Csrnforth for the event, and which has had it's Dellner couplers refitted.

68001 is one of the 68’s apparently and 034 has already been mentioned.

57008 dragged two class 91’s to Derby today, so is present.

Haven’t seen 99’s as being announced as going on the official TGG social media channels ?

The 398 suggested as todays move is 019 which was moved to Old Dalby on 8th July, Oddly enough the 'glued' power car pairings were changed in mid June, 468 & 484 should be the pair involved as 465 & 480 are at Loughborough Brush for ETCS fitment and 423 & 467, in conversational blue, at Kidderminster SVR

Thanks. Someone said the 398 is Metro branded 398019. And I did mean the 57 which was 57008. But yes 57314 also there.

I got the 68 down as 68034 (Rail Riders).

I can't figure out how to PM you. If you see this could you message me please, am really keen on going, have been trying all the links throughout this thread- I've left it rather last minute I know :(
I see this as as a sign being a Milton Keynes resident myself! All that said though I do hope your step father is okay.
