Yes, you're right. My notebook even says 37800 so I have completely invented seeing 37611 at GG (this must have been the ROG 37 at Derby RTC at 1640).

I saw 37611 at the GG yesterday (Sunday) but not 37800, which I believe was present on Friday. Were these swapped over during the event?

1Z98 was one of the Arriva blue 67s (not sure which) and came back south light engine through Helpston Jctn at 1740. 1Z99 was 67007, coming down from Doncaster mid pm, then set off back north (light engine) passing the Newark cam at 1818.

Any news on an official opening ceremony? I note there's two unusual LNER workings tomorrow (1Z80 KGX-Spalding and 1Z81 Spalding-KGX) but these are routed through Werrington Jctn rather than the diveunder so perhaps entirely unrelated.

I enjoyed watching 66221 on 4L45 being 'overpassed' by 1E09 and 1A28 on the DF and UF lines just after 1pm today. A seemingly knowledgeable local chap told me that an OTP went through the dive under in the very early hours of Sunday to make final checks, and then apparently the first real...

Is the dive under coming into service with the winter timetable on Sunday 12th Dec? If so, does anyone know what the first service is likely to be?

The new section of the Up Stamford (which runs along the east side of the ramp) is now connected at the northern (Hurn Rd) end. Work is currently taking place to connect the new section of Up Stamford at the southern (Cock Lane) end.

Looks like 6Z41 had problems and was last reported 128 late at Doncaster at 0727. It was a red DB 66 on the front (ID would be appreciated) not 60028.

This is really handy, thanks for keeping us updated. It's a minor point but I saw plain blue 156414 on a Norwich-Manchester service on Tuesday and I'm pretty sure it didn't have the EMR Regional logo (yet)?
