Can anyone assist with the following please for Tuesday:

0Z14 0812 Doncaster Robert Rds Shed to Crewe H.S.
2Q30 1005 York Skelton Otm Sidings to Doncaster C.H.S.
0Z15 1745 Castleton Hopwood Gf to Doncaster Robert Rds Shed

I’m assuming the second one is probably a NR class 153.

Thank you- the train or just the loco’s? I’ve previously seen just the loco’s head off to Donny.

66710 & 66719 are both at Donny so both should be involved in the 2 moves you mention. They will be collecting the Inspiration exhibition train from Crewe and taking it to Castleton.

And your right in saying that the 2Q30 will be a NR 153.

For reference, all the NR 2*** headcodes are 153s except 2Q08/2Z08 which is the 950. And 2Z03 which is Caroline with 37418/37508

Dan

Hi @47286Dan

According to a friend the 20s worked on Friday under a different headcode (0Z20) per these below. Any idea why that was?
