Lucky enough to have caught 56045 on it's run to Willesden through Radcliffe, loco sounded brilliant fully opened on the throttle, picked up a surprising amount of speed too in a not very long distance. Got the video here too.

Good afternoon, would anybody happen to know what will be allocated tomorrow’s 0M56 1521 Rectory Colwick Tmd to Willesden Dc Rail Sidings? Praying for a 56 as I’m not sure how long they have left.

Im assuming 56103 is going to take 60022 on 0F22 tonight and 56103 will go back down to willesden tommorow
Not necessarily as it has automatically activated 3 hrs before departure and there is a VSTP 0F22 late tomorrow. It could however still run as originally planned but we will have to wait and see now..

Yeah i think it will actually go to leicester first on 0F16 and then possibly come back on 0D22 tommorow to do 0F22 VSTP, meaning tommorows 0M56 is not running

It would appear 0F22 got as far as Sheet Shores Jn (after being canned from Chadd mind) then ran 0F16 to LIP from there looking at the timetables

Will that be 60046 coming back to Penmaenmawr to pick up the loaded wagons...?

Dave
Almost certainly I would think, 60099 is a no as it will be busy working 6M51 at 1400 while 60029 is due to arrive into Willesden at 1357 with 6Z20 from Angerstein Wharf leaving 60046 as the logical option


60046 working delayed (0140) loaded 0100 6A26 Rickerscote to Quainton Railhead with 60055 DIT, 1034 6M27 Aylesbury North Loop to Willesden empties with 60055 DIT, 1400 0D45 to Penmaenmawr Quarry and delayed (2145) loaded 1953 6A26 to Willesden

I've seen facebook rumours today that the Penmaenmawr Quarry to Quainton Railhead work is finishing this week, it does seem to tie in with the current lack of paths on RTT for next week, various 'suggestions' are being thrown against the wall including the regular failure of the loading equipment at Penmaenmawr and that GBRf and/or EPR are taking over the work, a more believable reason is that the requirement has been delivered to Quainton, as usual we will see in good time
