Sad to see the move didn't take place to Garston. I have managed to get in contact with a driver and they say it was put back a week due to more training needed?. So it could be 1st Sept or the following Monday 7th Sept before we see a 99 on 6L48/6X41 car trains. Training for WCML North (Crewe-Carlisle-Scotland) is expected to also start soon. It is hoped that the Hams Hall to Mossend and return working will be Class 99 hauled in the next couple months. That's all the info I could gain from the contact.

There is a new 0Z47 0920 Leicester L.I.P. to Portbury Auto Terminal Gbf in for the collection of 99012 + 99013 tomorrow so perhaps an early departure for Leicester?

Almost certainly another earlier path will appear going from Portbury to Leicester and 0M75 Portbury - Leicester will also be cancelled like 0V75 was.

If it helps you and others, the booked departure times from Portbury for the collection of 99003+99004 was 14:38, 99005+99006 was 14:10 and 99007 was 14:44. The 47 is booked to arrive at Portbury Dock stop board at 13:22.

So 14:10, 14:38 and 14:44 makes me predict that if a new schedule suddenly appears, the departure time off Portbury will be between 14:00 and 14:30 and given the arrival time of the 47 more likely closer to 14:00.

Thanks. Plus it’s 35 early which doesn’t help. I won’t get to parson street (bristol) until 1415 so need it to hold on.

Thanks @47286Dan - there's a couple of interesting things to note here!

Firstly, at some point recently 99007-99011 have been moved from the MBEL pool to the GBNX pool.

Secondly, I have 99011 down as being at Leicester depot arriving there on 0Z13 Peterborough - Leicester on 14/08/26. Has it really gone back to Peterborough and if yes, how did it do that? I've looked at Trainlogger and it has sightings at both Peterborough and Leicester on 22/08/26!

The 0Z13 move wasn't recorded in TOPS, so the loco shows at Peterborough since 9th August

99011 ARRIVED PBOROSDGB 1213 09/08 ON 490E992F09

This photo shows 99011 at Leicester on 17th August:

It's not just 011 that's reporting incorrectly. 009 is at Doncaster, other end of 008, NOT at Peterborough.

There's only one 99 visible in Down Decoy today, 99008 on the blocks of the north siding with the 6 sand wagons.
99009 was reported working light engine to Peterborough as 0G31 a couple of days ago (post #2060) which matches TOPS.

99009 ARRIVED PBOROSDGB 1049 24/08 ON 230G312D24

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Another question, has anyone physically seen or seen a video/photo of 99002 or 99005 taken yesterday or today?

RTT suggests 99002 and 99005 swapped diagrams yesterday but I'm not sure this actually happened. Does anyone know for certain please?

The above pics of 99002 on 4M01 and were taken at Water Orton yesterday when waiting for 99012/013.

Hope this helps

Found this photo of 99002 on 4M47 yesterday (Wed) which I rather like:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/justinfoulger/55489814124/ (Photo: Justin Foulger)

Looks like 99002 and 99005 got swapped on TOPS yesterday at London Gateway (99002 shown on 4M01, 99005 on 4M47) but were actually the other way around.

99005 shown on TOPS returning on 4L01 from EMG last night and 99002 on 4L47 from Hams Hall, which put them back the right way round.

Current TOPS locations (06:30 Thu)

99001 Leicester
99002 4L47
99003 4M68
99004 Leicester
99005 London Gateway (arrived on 4L01)
99006 Peterborough
99007 Leicester
99008 Doncaster Down Decoy
99009 Peterborough
99010 Peterborough
99011 Leicester (still shown at Peterborough on TOPS since 09/08)
99012 Leicester
99013 Leicester

Surely they got swapped on Tuesday (99009’s question) and then got swapped back yesterday?

Oh yes... with the picture of 99002 working 4M01 on Tuesday (post #2094) they must have been shown on the wrong services in TOPS on Tuesday aswell.

So in reality 99002 worked 4M01 to EMG and 4L01 return on Mon 24th / Tue 25th, then worked 4M47 to Hams Hall and 4L47 return on Wed 26th.
Meanwhile 99005 worked 4M47 to Hams Hall and 4L47 return on Mon 24th / Tue 25th, then worked 4M01 to EMG and 4L01 return on Wed 26th.
At least I think that's right...
