Hi please can anyone tell me what will be working the 15:57 Scunthorpe Roxby Gullet to Willesden Dc Rail Sidings today? I'm not sure of the headcode, sorry (where can I find these out?) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R05196/2020-04-03/detailed Thanks

Were they bought? I thought they were just hired!

I haven't travelled on a huge amount of the UK network, but out of where I've gone I think the ECML between Finsbury Park and King's Cross is at the top of my list. It's the bush forest and the grafitti which do it for me. Like where you see bushes growing out of the lineside masonry and in...

Thanks for that. :D

Looking at RTT listings for Doncaster today, I came across a schedule for a STP 6M35 11:25 Arcow Quarry to Elstow Redlands Gbrf. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R04894/2020-02-28/detailed Have I just missed this before or is it a new thing? It isn't showing for the last 7 days. The...

DCR have a path in the system for a new overnight service, 22:10 6Z60 from Carlisle to Willesden. ExRes, on the DCR locos thread, notes that 60028, after working the 1546 6Z20 Chaddesden to Kingmoor yesterday as its maiden run, looks to be working this new flow this evening. Does anyone know...

Thanks very much

Please can anyone tell me which Gbrf 66 was on the 4E00 0440 London Gateway Gbrf to Masborough N&W Gbrf this morning? Saw it near Huntingdon around 8am. Thanks

Here's a link to a slightly more up to date article (02/09/2019) - the article above appears to have been written only shortly after construction commenced. https://www.hanson-communities.co.uk/en/first-train-arrives-for-cement-load-at-padeswood-in-three-decades The point of posting this...

That's interesting, for a long time it seemed as though that plan had fizzled out. I presume this is a move from road transport? Also, on GBRf's fb page there was a post today saying that GBRf have got the job of delivering the new Merseyrail 777 units from Frethun, Calais, to Kirkdale Depot, in...

A post on DB's Twitter page today: ''@URMltd sent our 100th train via @DBCargoUK from our Tilbury plant, carrying furnace ready cullet for remelt in Cheshire!! ..4561 lorries not clogging up the M1 / M6 ..Choo Choo!!'' (bit cheesy... :)) For anyone who doesn't know, the cullet goes to Ince &...

Yes, that flow does exist but is operated by GBRf. Note that the flow I was talking about is operated by DRS (clue in the destination: South Bank Tees Dock DRS). Also RTT shows the DRS flow running alongside the GBRf one, proving that it's an extra working.

I know it's off topic... but does anyone else find that when they read the quoted sentence in Indigo2's post (number 2), the image below the sentence seems to flash? I find the faster I read it the faster it flashes. Probably due to lots of dark areas being separated by bright lines.

Just looking at RTT listings for Doncaster today and came across a Doncaster iPort to South Bank Tees Dock (DRS) night time path. I looked further and from the 9th these have been running somewhat sporadically from Daventry to iPort, then from iPort to Tees Dock, as separate workings (though...

8 new rail freight terminals (4 DCR hubs, Newhaven, Salford, Lowestoft and Washwood Heath terminals) and a recommenced flow discussed so far today! Rail freight certainly seems to be enjoying a resurgence after the coal crash, and what's more the situation also seems to be quite stable and...

I found an article elsewhere from April 2019. It indicates that this will be entirely new business. This is a link to it: https://intermodality.com/2019/04/12/newhaven-port-network-rail-completes-first-phase-of-brett-aggregate-railhead/ From the same article there's a link to another article on...

RTT is showing that all trains so far have been cancelled, but I suppose it's very early days. Has this involved any relaying of track, etc. or was it all there already? Also nice to see that the DB and FL flows to/ from East Midlands Gateway have started, though somewhat sporadically with some...

Thanks for your help. At least I now have some idea of what it could have been...

Anyone know which FL Class 66 is on the 20:06 (yesterday's train) Doncaster Up Decoy to Huntingdon engineers' working? (I don't know the headcode, sorry). It's just south of Huntingdon station today as part of an engineering possession (with at least 3 track machines very busy too), but too far...

That's great news. There's a bit more information on WNXX (subscription section): 'The terminal is expected to open fully on 6th January 2020 with a Freightliner flow from Felixstowe, followed the next day with a DBC operated service, also from Felixstowe' Also on WNXX there's information about...
