150018 on the same diagram as yesterday today, I.e. the 06.15 Worcester - Stratford etc. 150103 and 150105+109 stabled on Tyseley at 8am.

Caught earlier train this morning and was rewarded with 150109+105 on the 07.09 Dorridge - Stourbridge Jn. 150018 departed Moor Street as I arrived on 07.30 to Stratford and 150001 will be no doubt pleased to hear that 150001 is on the 06.45 Worcester - Dorridge etc with 153364.

The regular 150 services I travel on into Birmingham for work have now gone over to 172 operation now. The 07.08 Leamington Spa - Kidderminster and 07.56 Dorridge - Stourbridge were pairs of 172s this morning which will most likely mean the 18.02 Dorridge - Kidderminster later today will be as...

Regarding riding on any 150s on 5th Nov, you will be lucky as I normally pop out early on Saturdays on the Leamington line (normally to photograph the liners) but today only produced one (150015) on the 09.09 Dorridge - Kidderminster as all other services were 172 whereas the majority were 150...

150s still out and about. Today's observations: 150125+019 on 07.56 Dorridge - Stourbridge Junc 153365+150002 on 06.45 Worcester Shrub Hill - Dorridge and 08.28 return off Dorridge --- old post above --- --- new post below --- This mornings observations on way into Brum: 150105+107 on 07.08...

Absolutely they are more spacious, because there are less seats than on a 150! Coversely, there is more room to stand up now. Every cloud. :D I had 172333 back from work on Monday night and suffered some serious wheel slip on the slightly wet rails. Its gonna be fun when the snow comes......

153365 with a UID hybrid 150 on the 06.47 Worcester - Dorridge this morning. I assume the hybrid to be 012 as that was the pairing yesterday but could be equally 001/002 or 019, as I was on 015 when it passed me and it wasnt blue! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 153365+150002 on...

150105 out with 150015 on the 07.56 Dorridge - Kidderminster this morning.

150216 out with 150018 this morning on 07.58 Dorridge - Kidderminster. So 216 definitely not in Bristol.....yet. Also, 150109+106 on 07.08 from Leamington. So not all 172s but won't be long I guess.

150005 has finally been split, it was running as 2-car 150105 with 150018 on the 07.58 Dorridge - Kidderminster this morning.

And a time when an Irish Class (141's) didn't turn up for their last run! :-) Still no complaints with 078 that day.

Hi, 172345 worked to Leamington Spa on the 17.25 from Kidderminster (5th Oct). From Monday 3rd October it seems the following trains departing from Moor Street tare 172's now: 18.00 to leamington Spa 18.10 to Whittlocks End 18.25 to Dorridge All were 150's last week. However...

Thanks GM078 seems I had a lucky escape by all accounts. I actually think fixing particular locos for tours is annoying as it happens/happend alot in the UK and usually means if you don't do the tour the loco works, then it won't appear for years afterwards as none of the "top men" in the loco...

It seems 080 is fast becoming for the RPSI what grid 56114 was for Pathfinder Tours in the UK at the end of the 90's, by being "available" for every tour. I understand things are different in Ireland regarding allocating or "fixing" Locos for tours but for the same 2 locos (072 and 080) to work...

The are two main reasons I like (and have booked on the July and this Saturdays) the RPSI mystery tours this year are 1). an 071 is on the front and 2). The sociable timings mean I can fly out from my local airport (Birmingham) do the tour and fly back all in one day without any overnight stay...

As it's been already mentioned, I have been told it's Limerick but realistically the destinations are limited bearing in mind the start and end ti Es for the "tour" and they tend to spend 3 hours at the destination so places like Cork, Galway, Ballina, Westport a non starter. As regards...

150117 out with 150018 on the 07.58 from Dorridge this morning (21st). Still solid 150s on the Leamington line at the moment 172s seem to be still sticking to the Stratford at the moment. Gary

Agree, great day out, lovely engines, lovely thrash and lovely weather! Some pics of the day here: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/gbrailphotos/sets/72157627147048491/

I've just sent my booking off for this and I e-mailed the RPSi before doing so and they are expecting it to be hauled by 2 x 071. I guess that won't mean double headed 071's but 2 seperate ones at some point in the day.
