Right then, time to clarify a few things and ask some questions based on the discussion above.
99001, after working 4M47 yesterday, should have gone with 99003 on 0F75 from Hams Hall to Leicester. That's why 99003 worked 0F75 Wembley - Leicester via Hams Hall. The post by @Adrian Barr above suggests that this either wasn't recorded in TOPS or didn't happen. So, first question, can anyone please confirm whether 99001 is currently at Hams Hall or Leicester?
99002, after working 4M68 yesterday, has remained at Birch Coppice as I expected. This will go to East Midlands Gateway on Monday morning as 0D72 Birch Coppice - East Midlands Gateway and then work 4L72 East Midlands Gateway - London Gateway on Monday. Then, for the rest of the week, it will be on the 4M68/4L68 diagram again.
Assuming that 99001 did indeed go on 0F75 from Hams Hall to Leicester with 99003 as it was supposed to, one of 99003 or 99004 or 99005 will work 0Z48 Leicester - Hams Hall this afternoon and then 4A47 Hams Hall - Wembley this evening. Whichever 99 works this today should then remain on the 4M47/4L47 diagram all week.
Now for the big question. Where is 99010; Old Dalby or Peterborough? There was an 0Z95 Leicester - Old Dalby working that was cancelled at Melton Mowbray and this was worked by 99008+99010. This was immediately followed by a VSTP schedule 0Z95 Melton Mowbray - Peterborough. I have assumed that both 0Z95's were 99008+99010, but now I'm unsure if this is the case, so can anyone help please?
And finally, 99012+99013. Now, I'm unsure if this is still the case, but the original GBRF plan was 2 99's arriving in the UK every month, but some 99's (such as 99011) arrived on their own. So, assuming that the plan is still the plan, 99012 (either on its own, or with 99013, or with 99013+99014) should arrive in the UK this month. However, if the plan is for them to arrive at Avonmouth this month, they may stay at Avonmouth docks for a while, as Network Rail are replacing a level crossing at Avonmouth docks between the middle and end of the month.
