99001, 66705 and 66754 are all in Toton now, presuming for the RHTT, possibly a mix and match between the 66s and the 99, or the 99 is there for another reason, will find out on tomorrows shakedown.

705 and 754 on 3J88 so can only assume the 99s there for something else

Tobytrain10 · 2026-10-01T06:46:15+0100

Looks like the 2 peterborough circuits are both using class 69s, 69008 and 15 are currently on 3J41 circuit, and 69010 and 13 are on 3J30

ajwffc · 2026-10-01T07:24:33+0100

the Inverness to Inverness (via Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth) started last night with TnT 99s

Amos390 · 2026-10-01T07:36:55+0100

3J84 on the move today with the same 2 sheds as last nights 3J88. (66705/754)

Is the Swindon RHTT circuit runs starting by today?

Railrecord has 3J41 scheduled to run. Departs Swindon transfer for about 1405

Amos390 · 2026-10-01T12:38:24+0100

Just seen 3J84 over Lenton North Jn, 705 leading back towards Notts and Newark

Yes - all three Swindon diagrams (3J41, 3S31/32 and 3S59/60) have commenced operation today;
in total, 16 loco-hauled diagrams (out of 30) are now running.

It doesn’t look like 3S32 commenced today.

The 3S31/32 diagram is activated to run from Swindon this evening, as is 3S59/60.

Sorry for any confusion - once a train is activated, I count that entire diagram as 'running',
even if it the initial working hasn't set off from its base yet.

No worries! Hopefully the 68-67-66s stay stuck to their diagrams

Is there a way of pinning this post at the start of the thread or keeping it near the latest ones? It’s really useful information that will probably get lost as the thread grows.

If you talk to @CDM Transport nicely, they might pin it to post 1

the way the signaler talked about it last night it sounded like it was the first full run (that's my excuse and i am sticking with it)

Amos390 · 2026-10-01T22:42:35+0100

Toton MML 3J92 flow running now too, same locos as the 3J84 run (66705 + 66754), 66723 (ZA723) "Chinook" and 66778 "Cambois Depot 25 Years" arrived into Toton on 0Z84, presumably will run tomorrow's 3J84 run.

Shrewsbury RHTT running today with the 56s. It was cancelled yesterday.
