Railway Herald says 20107 + 37, but I don't know how often that is correct.

I don’t know if it’s relevant but the two black 37’s are at Upperby today
37521 and 37667. The LNWR style black as already seen on LSL's 57
Yes that is correct 37401/20107

Are you sure? Real-time Trains says 37521 + 37667!

Does anyone know if there is a steam ban in place today? I heard someone saying there is but i cant find any information saying there actually is
Well, as far as the pictures on Facebook go it seems to be 37401 / 17159 / 6311 / 20107.
As I understand it, 1Z30 from Carlisle to Fort William has the two black 37's and is on its way now, but yesterday 37401 and 20107 headed to Fort William with two coaches as the Class 121 bubble car Flora is poorly.
The bubble car is usually used to run to Glenfinnan for Mr Hoskings nearby hotel.

Definitely the 2 black 37’s. I photted it at Newcastle at around 8:45.
Can’t confirm yes/no to an official ban but the English Riviera Express was diesel hauled throughout

Ok, seems like everything needs to be loco assisted today, but that may have not worked as 44871 may have caused the recently reported lineside fire at acton bridge that is melting signaling cables

I see that the LSL-powered 'Statesman Rail' trip to Portsmouth today has been severely delayed in the Kettering area and is now over 90L. Does anyone know the problem?

57311 playing up. 57302 put on the front in front of 57311.

Thanks. More shunting required at Portsmouth then!

The 57s seem like they have terrible reliability, why not put 47s on?

Looks like the headcode has changed from 1Z81 to 5Z81? Not yet reached Portsmouth either.
Edit: Update: Now gone into the Fratton avoiding line (not sure it's official name/status), rather than the main platform lines.

Is anything being sent to assist 57302?

Appears to have terminated at Havant to allow shunting for the return. Presumably by service train to Portsmouth. My shot from earlier, near Guildford.

Absolutely the 37s on the tour perform much better, even the 50 or 40 would be good too

Recently, they have failed too many times, those people on one of the tours with the 37s on are very lucky

Assuming Nunney Castle isn't running tomorrow because of the heatwave?
It's on RTT but not on Railcam Data.

57308 has been acquired, and was taken to Crewe by 20132 and 20118 and July 8th

Please could anyone tell me where 45118 is on today’s ‘Waverley Merrymaker’ as it seems to be 50050 double heading with 37667 with 37521 on the rear?
Thank you in advance
