So, railcam supplys 0 knowledge of the actual paths (both unallocated), and its too late to use rail record so by using process of elimination that you have already done and i have checked over, i think the only 2 options for it is
1: 99013 both ways solo.
2: 99013 solo going, 99013 and 47739 return
It all depends whether
A: 57306 actually ran to peterborough at all on the 10th, leaving 47739 to have worked 0E12 alone
B: 47739 ran togethor with 57306, and stayed unallocated.
Or
C: If they sent 47739 on 0E99 on the 9th
I think it might be worth trying to find pictures of 47739 and 57306 to try and find what happened
Thank you, just done as you suggested and found that 47739 worked Leicester - Leicester via Peterborough, March and Old Dalby on the 10th, so 57306 probably never went there. I think that, given I can't prove the involvement of 99013 or any other 99 on 0Z98/0E99 on 09/09/26, I'll move on from it for now, but make a note of the moves just in case something surfaces in the future.
99002 worked 6X41 Dagenham - Garston this morning but hasn't returned south today as for some reason it was heavily delayed at Crewe. It will return south tomorrow instead!
99011 worked 0Z06 08:33 Peterborough - Whitemoor 09:16 on 08/09/26. 100% confirmed via a photo.
It then, as far as I'm aware, stayed at Whitemoor until working 0H06 20:32 Whitemoor - Peterborough 21:05 on 13/09/26.
There was, as you point out, an 0L57 Peterborough - Whitemoor immediately after 99011 arrived on 0H06. I haven't been able to find out what that was, but given there's a lot of sightings of 99006, 99010, 99011 and 99013 on Trainlogger, I'm guessing 0L57 was a 66.
EDIT: Many more workings involving 99004 and 99005 have been worked by the other loco. For example, I've seen 2 photos of 99004 working 4M01 on 12/09/26. Unless anyone can prove otherwise, this means it also worked 4A01 to Wembley on 13/09/26 and 4L01 from Wembley on 14/09/26. That in turn means 99005 worked 4M47 on 12/09/26, then 4A47 as far as Bletchley Relief 1 on 13/09/26, then 4Z47 Bletchley Relief 1 - Wembley and 4L47 Wembley - London Gateway on 14/09/26. I believe the allocations have remained wrong for the northbound workings on 14/09/26.
EDIT (2): Yes they were wrong for 14/09/26 and 15/09/26 and may continue to be wrong. I've now seen photos that show 99005 on 4M01 on 14/09/26 and 99004 on 4M01 on 15/09/26.

It arrived on 4E00 on the 10/09/2026
Railcam confirms it aswell as i remember seeing 99003 and 66717 allocated togethor last week on RTT but its vanished now

Thank you very much for this about 0D32. I've now seen a video of 99013 on 0D32 passing Gainsborough Lea Road at 15:01 2 early. Might not have realised what happened with the schedule if it wasn't for your post. 99013 almost certainly worked 0H33 on its own as well.
99002 worked 6X41 Dagenham - Garston this morning but hasn't returned south today as for some reason it was heavily delayed at Crewe. It will return south tomorrow instead!
On the Garston runs, does anyone know if the 99s are currently on diesel north of Crewe? My assumption is that they will due to the power supply issues between Crewe and Weaver Jnc.
Once they start running on container/car runs to Scotland, we may also see these runs use diesel on this section for the same reason.
Are they planning to use the 99's for the RHTT diagrams? It seems odd to use powerful electric locomotives on diesel with a light load although certainly not complaining as I didn't think we'd be seeing the 99's up here for a long tie.

There simply aren't anywhere enough 66s/69s to cover all the GBRf RHTT diagrams,
and using the 99s is a far cheaper option than hiring in several DB/FL 66s, as happened last year.
Can anyone please confirm if 99010+99011 worked 4D32 Peterborough - Doncaster Decoy and 4H33 Doncaster Decoy - Peterborough on 17/09/26?
99011+99010 definitely worked 4D30 on 17/09/26 and 99010+99011 definitely returned on 4H31 on 17/09/26. But there's no allocation, photos or videos anywhere of 4D32/4H33, so I want to be more certain it was the same pair.

Pretty sure the idea is that you use 99s that can do the whole journey without having to switch between locos and is not forced to use 66s with the 73s

100% confirmed that 4H80 Doncaster - Peterborough this evening is 99007+69008+69009+66709+66715+4 wagons (6500xx+6500xx+640xxx+640xxx) in this order. There's an 0O72 Peterborough - Wembley tonight, I wonder if some of the above locos might work this next?

This is a reason why they are here so Inverness sleeper drivers are getting a taught during the RHTT season. So when the 99s with ETS fitted arrive then they are good to go!

The sheer scale of the loco-hauled RHTT workings makes them extremely difficult for just
two FOCs to resource; when all the RHTTs are fully up and running this time next month,
60 locos (plus spares) will be required on a daily basis, of which 38 locos will be needed
for the GBRf contracts alone.
As you can imagine, temporarily reinstating half a dozen 60s barely scratches the surface,
hence the need to draft in 99s, 69s, 57s, 73s and anything else GBRf can get their hands on!
Yes. The sleeper - on the electrified stretch - requires 1500V supply, rather than the UK standard 800/1000V. Class 92 can provide the required supply (it was to be used for Nightstar), but currently nothing else in the UK can unless you use one of the ex-Nightstar generator vans.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
