I see there is a 5N31 Wolverton Centre to Newton Heath working for Saturday, which i guess is 156466 returning. There is also a 5H70 return working. One for diligentdave is 155345 still due for release on 19th June. MTIA

Saturdays output/input from Wolverton won't run. 345 is now due out of Long Marston first week of July.

Is there a new date for 156466 then

 

[dave87016]

Today’s ( 14th June 2026 ) northern class 150 transfers sees the following

5Z51 0929 Newton Heath T.M.D. - Neville Hill T.M.D. 150134 and 150145

5Z52 1142 Neville Hill T.M.D. - Newton Heath T.M.D. 150211 and 150268

 

[diligentdave]

Is there a new date for 156466 then

Should be the 20th June.

 

[Class 466]

323229 has not been seen for almost 5 months.
If the future of the 323s is in doubt (due to potential replacement with fleet that can’t be named) is this going to be repaired, presuming it is broken?
323218 & 323342 also been out of service for 3 months.

I think it's safe to say this in bold isn't happening any time soon

17/6
2nd attempt 5Q36 13.30 Kilmarnock - AN (loco + 769450) - loco coming as 0S08 05.30 Derby RTC-Kilmarnock.
Edit 17/6 Move cancelled. 3rd attempt apparently Fri/Sat

769448 finished at AN last night, is not out today and is the only one left to go to Brodies.
Move in for 18/6 but as above is not happening 17/6 then ??

 

[sbrignall72]

One for diligentdave is there another 3150 due to go to Long Marston soon. I guess nothing this week due to Rail Live at the site

Not allowed to say.

 

[sbrignall72]

Does anyone please know what is on 5H70 Newton Heath to Wolverton. I assume 156466 was on the Wolverton to Newton Heath. MTIA

 

[lesthebus]

I was 156466. Saw it held at Stafford

 

[MrBeanie]

I saw 156466 going through stockport around 13.10. I'm assuming it was 156410 going back, as I saw that empty around 15.20 which seems to match up with the return working on the realtime site

Today’s ( 21/05/26 ) Northern class 150 transfers

5Z51 0929 Newton Heath T.M.D. - Neville Hill T.M.D. is 150115 and 150127

5Z52 1147 Neville Hill T.M.D. - Newton Heath T.M.D. is a single unit formed of 150205

 

[skyhigh]

214+205 are planned to go the other way.

 

[dave87016]

Only 150205 but that could change I suppose

Updated post: as per skyhighs post 150214 has now been added to it so 2 sets being transferred as usual thanks to skyhigh for the heads up

 

[T74]

Is there a 150 transfer today from newton heath to Neville hill

 

[pokemonsuper9]

Is there a 150 transfer today from newton heath to Neville hill

No, compared to previous weeks the whole Huddersfield line is closed today so there isn't space on the Calder Valley line for them.

 

[T74]

Thank you

 

[ENC Rail]

Makes sense, I wondered why there wasn't a move for today!

 

[Mat17]

Did 150205 still go to Manchester alone last Sunday?

 

[sbrignall72]

Did 150205 still go to Manchester alone last Sunday?

150214 accompanied it

 

[Mat17]

Ah, I hadn't realised! Thank you.

 

[skyhigh]

205 was the unit involved in the level crossing collision this week so I suspect it may be out of action for a while now.

 

[GhostManDN91]

I've noticed an increase in 150/2s at Wigan Wallgate since the transfers started. Definitely need to have another ride on one to Manchester.

 

[T74]

Has 150275 been in service since returning

Has 150275 been in service since returning

Just seen it’s out today thanks

 

[MrBeanie]

as far as I know today was the first day that 150275 has been back in service fully. Saw it mid afternoon in Leeds on the Knottingley service

 

[CR165022]

It re-entered service yesterday, with 2A03 from Leeds to Knottingley being it's first service after coming from Neville Hill
