Extendolino seen going south down WCML

[60163]

Just whooshed through Rugeley Trent Valley about 13:51. I'm well aware it's not really that special and should be with us for decades to come, but I'm
Just reporting it.

Getting info that it is out tomorrow on Euston Birmingham diagram tomorrow ?

Cannot 100% confirm, 90046

Sorry, I'm talking Pretendolino, my error, above stated by myself is what I have been informed though

AndyS has been saying on another forum that 90046 will do the following :

0T27 1000 Crewe-Wembley
5T27 1407 Wembley-Euston
1G27 1443 Euston-Birmingham New Street
1B68 1630 Birmingham New Street-Euston
1K39 1843 Euston-Crewe

As usual subject to change due to this, that an t'other

Is this Pretendo run a definite for today?

Ex-tendolino??! Good lord

390 033 Expiredolino?

90046 is out today - just confirmed.

 

[DarloRich]

just departed MKC heading north 90046 ( perhaps 48 - i couldnt see final number clearly) and the MKIII set

Don't suppose anyone saw if it was Brad and Angelina onboard? (the pretendolino, that is)

Just realised that there is a Pretendolino thread in Traction and Rolling Stock section where all our comments would be more suited, OP was talking about the Extendolino.

Is the 90 & Mk3 set likely to be doing anything next Thursday??

 

[MCR247]

1843 to Crewe

 

[I T S]

I thought that was only a Friday diagram?

 

[NXEA!]

No, its become ThFO because Virgin have introduced the previously FO 18.57 to Manchester Piccadilly on a Thursday too, hence the need for the Pretendolino to be out on a Thursday to release an extra Pendolino for the Manchester additional.

Wait a minute...390054 is running as a nine-car unit. So the Extendolino name is no longer valid. Shame.

Shortendolino?
