**There is another Wembley-Long Marston move planned for tomorrow 5Q07.... 350242/43 hauled by 37407

730222 was booked to move to Bletchley as 5Q77 today, but for some reason that move has not taken place.

For some reason the system is still showing 244 as an asset when, as you say, its been off lease for a while.
The Wolverton move today saw 350111 swap places with 350130
Yes 250 is back, 254 is now stopped.
