1) KWVR doesn’t have any drivers that sign 55s. So a conductor driver would need to be sourced via the owning group that signs the traction. 2) a daily hire charge would need to be paid so if diesels were required, the 14 or 47 would step in as there is no daily charge for the use of these...

The 14 is capable of it and has done it, it pulled 7 up over the Christmas period when the kettle failed at Keighley but isn’t something that should be planned for but can happen in cases of failure etc

1054 is available but is based at BLS at Ingrow and will be returning there after the gala. 1773593059 The idea is now to have 2x Class 4+ locos available so there are enough heavier locos to pull the heavier trains (6coaches) that are often required.

52044 is undergoing a retube. Hopefully will reappear next month.

It is definitely planned for 78022 to take over from 1st Jan. website will be updated in due course. 1766933197 Not part of the core fleet but is under overhaul

Evidence?

75078 until 31/12 then 78022 01/01-04/01. 1766865407 Not quite I’m afraid. 90733 technically replaces 5820 which was withdrawn early (and 90733 is slightly late coming back in)

I booked mine on the Avanti website (the only place I could get it to work)

Well it’s not. I went on Avanti website to book a ticket on it, no seat reservations available. Just sells you an Off Peak single.

Although rumoured to be withdrawn from service, I am on a hunt for 142016, 142022, 142046, 142021. Can anyone help me and tell me if they are out at all? Also, Any sign of 142005 coming back into service for one day only? Many thanks

I wondered if anyone could possibly help me. I am looking at spending a number of upcoming weeks which I have landed free trying to catch all Northern 142s & 144s before withdrawal. 142s are obviously a much larger class, so I wondered if anyone could give me some definite diagrams that 142s...

Could anybody tell me what northern 153s are diagramed to work? Many thanks

Does anyone know of any booked 333 workings from Leeds to Doncaster? Thanks :)

About 3 weeks ago I did post a list on here detailing what was moving when.

Interesting, half there half straight to northern maybe
