Just to throw my tuppence worth in yet again about outrageous price hikes under Serco with no improvement to rolling stock. A single fare from London Paddington to Penzance (8 hours) is £66 and looking at the videos of the GWR stock it is a whole lot better than the clapped out and frankly...

Thank you Tim. I only noticed it because the 73 was blocked by the 2 67's. As I said I was half asleep and gazing into the middle distance!

This may be interest and other more learned members can add flesh to the bones - 73961 was in Craigentinny around 1700 today in a siding with two DB Cherry red 67's blockng the exit. I think one of the 67's was 014 but I was half asleep so don't take my word on that. Also a Colas 47 with a black...

Surely the Aberdeen sections low load is due to the pricing? I for one don't use them anymore. £95 single one year ago and now £160 in the same stock? Dream on Serco.

Love this one 47271 - ye cannae beat the quote - "ah'll hae a peh an an inyininina!" although you could substitute "pletty" for "peh" :D

Thanks for this info 47271.

Thank you! I just assumed that the northbound loco came in attached to the rear end of the ECS. You never think of these things as you are lugging your baggage along 16 coaches to get to your berth! Best regards Sarah

Good evening everyone. Might I pick upon your vastly knowledgeable brains to explain the working listed below. As I understand it at the Euston end the ECS comes into Platform 1 for the Highlander and once that has departed the loco on the blocks in 1 nips round to 15 and gets hitched up with...

Many thanks Far North - apologies with my error with the number - it was indeed 88007 - just booking myself into Specsavers.....

Good evening everyone. Could anyone oblige with two deciphered headcodes from yesterday please. Both trains were northbound through Abington, South Lanarkshire around lunchtime. First is 450F Daventry to Mossend Euroterminal DRS working for TESCO. (88008 and 88010)...

Thank you for your request! Just as well I noticed it before I posted exactly the same question! I can confirm the power up front southbound was 66528 with 533 bringing up the rear. Regards Sarah Pics if anyone interested are at link https://www.flickr.com/photos/149563882@N07/?

Many thanks for speedy reply!

Good evening everyone, I would be grateful if anyone could supply the unscrambled headcodes of two workings from Sunday 22nd April. The first was a Scotrail ECS working from Haymarket to Aberdeen Clayhills MD. Lead by a Class 43 sporting a new livery...

Thanks to Chrism20 and Scotrail84 for replies on Aberdeen section being short. Regards S

Good evening everyone. I forgot that all this excitement was ongoing at Queens Street this weekend! Sounds like fun all round! I was out last night to capture the Up Highlander sections using the East Coast line down through Fife. I was rather surprised to see that the Aberdeen section (behind...
