https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K00058/2026-08-05/detailed Reported as 810023 on Merchant Park-Doncaster

Pan was already up as it approached Wavertree Technology Park

Anyone have the full list of coaches used on this to assist with my photos. For a non SR afficionado it confused the heck out of me when I saw the 2 seperate thumper cars attached! Cracking noise as it headed up the WCML.

Many thanks.

Was that 810019 first day in service?

Looks like the 810019 move was cancelled.

Apologies if this comment upset people but just some context. The person I was with, wasn't a staff member or a rail enthusiast and had zero knowledge of the train or what it was about, so it's a honest appraisal of what they saw for the first time from a distance looking at the front 2 coaches...

Presume it's going to Preston on Thu as an STP in for a 5Q24 from Wembley(surmising, I've not checked).

807010 was at Blackpool North on Wednesday on 5Q80 to Wembley. Saw front 2 cars from.a distance, the person I was with thought the train had been really badly graffitied, and was getting quite annoyed, I pointed it was actually the design that they thought had been the graffiti, it'll certainly...

Very long shot, but don't suppose anyone knows when it left Vienna?

Not my photo(and mods apologies if the link is long)...

Apologies if covered already, a month or so ago I saw a number of Flyer MB0295 Citaro hybrids parked at Blackburn depot, anyone know when these are due in service in Yorkshire?

Delete, covered above.

Eiher fully assembled, or fully bodied in the UK would be my remit(although it's going off topic!).

I was always surprised that once so many operators started placing large orders with Chinese manufacturers(and Egyptian body plants), that the UK Government didnt then start to stipulate that a plant should open in the UK for those vehicles built with funding from government/taxpayer subsidies...
