172 332 was out doing mileage accumulation runs yesterday 2nd November 2011, this included running over the Chiltern line from Banbury to High Wycombe and return. It was scheduled to depart from Banbury at 12:22, running as 5Z01 and due to arrive at High Wycombe at 13:14. It passed Haddenham &...

67015 ran light engine, as far as I'm aware from Doncaster to Moor Street on Tuesday. It worked up to Marylebone yesterday double-heading with 67012 on 1F91, the 06:55 from Moor Street, photo of the train at Princes Risborough: I don't know anything further with regard to 67015 replacing...

It looks like another set of Chiltern stock is en route to Doncaster, presumably for the fitting of plug doors, running at the moment on Tuesday 13th September 2011. 67015 is leading 5E00, 09:33 from Wembley LMD to Doncaster, presumably Wabtec, via the Chilterns to Tyseley and then Tamworth...

Thanks for that RPM, 121 034 worked the first two shuttles this morning which I saw, I presume it worked the rest as well! Cheers, Geoff

67015 worked down yesterday, Sunday 4th September 2011, from Wembley LMD as ECS (headcode not known), departing at around 15:30 in a rather unusual formation. This was 67015, GFW (RFM), DVT 82303, RFM, 4 x TSOs and 67012 on the rear. This move was to get the ECS into place for the start of this...

I went to Princes Risborough this morning, Monday 5th September 2011, to see what use was made of the new through line. The first train I saw on arrival was 2A05, the 06:00 MYB - AYS above, which arrived slightly late with 165 037. It wasn't until it departed that I realise that 172 101 was on...

Thanks for the various replies above. I didn't cotton on to what was being said about 67018's up trip on Tuesday, not realising it was actually carrying passengers. As the down ECS working had had problems en route and the train ran non-stop through Princes Risborough, I presumed it was running...

Thanks for the above replies Cherry_Picker and 150219. With regard to the signals at Princes Risborough, the photo is taken from the car park. I do have other photos taken since, but the number on the up platform loop signal is not visible in them, but should be ME164 as you state. The signal...

Thanks, a few pics are now on my site, starting with this one: image is "clickable" to take you to my site where this pic is followed by a few more. Thanks RPM for your confirmation of the dragging brakes problem on 5U08 - was the problem on the loco or one of the coaches? As far as...

Yes, things running almost to plan this morning, though early down trains were subject to some delays. I went to Princes Risborough station to see what might happen and whilst en route, by car, I saw 67018 heading north with presumably a late running 5U08 through Longwick (just north of...

On the days the binliners were diverted, the booked time of 6A58 at Bicester was 11:57 to 12:02, so well clear of the passenger train which is scheduled to depart at 11:30. 6M22 was booked at Bicester at 13:52 to 13:57 so in theory just ahead of the passenger train due to arrive in Bicester...

67018 together with two Mk. 3 coaches and DVT 82302 worked as 5Z67 on Monday 22nd August from Willesden TMD to Banbury. I don't know the identity of either of the coaches, but presumably this move was to replace other coaches in set AL02. The train ran via the WCML and reversal at Coventry to...

121 034 certainly worked on Tuesday afternoon as I saw it at Princes Risborough arriving with 2P12 at 17:57. The weather on Wednesday and Thursday was awful so I didn't go out, but sunny today. I went to see 2P10, 15:41 from Aylesbury, its first booking on the diagram, but 165 027 turned up...

Hi, I think this is 5Z67, 10:40 from Willesden TMD to Crewe. 67012 is leading 67015 (DIT) with 82301 on the rear. It passed through Cheddington at 11:23 where I got some shots of it. As I understand it, 67015 is to be dropped off at Crewe, presumably IEMD, for repairs after its failure last...

Hello tec, welcome to the forum. Sadly, you didn't choose a very good day for your trip! On Monday 8th August 2011, the first up loco hauled train of the day, 1H06, 05:43 from Birmingham Moor Street to Banbury passed Princes Risborough on time at 07:06 with 67014 leading the newly...

Chiltern ran a charter today in connection with the Community Shield match at Wembley Stadium. This was 1I28, 09:03 from Birmingham Moor Street to Wembley Stadium, worked by 67014 with the Chiltern Mainline branded set with 82305 on the rear. Because this departed prior to the engineering...

A few photos on my site of today's first runs with the newly re-branded coaches, including this one: They look quite good, though the signage for wi-fi and the business zone rather spoils things to my mind. Cheers, Geoff

Apparently there were some problems at Willesden yesterday whilst the train was being put together - it seems that neither the sleeping car nor the BSO wanted to talk to the ETS systems. As both of these vehicles were essential to the train's running (sleeping car so that crews can work the...

Many thanks for the times above, much appreciated! Cheers, Geoff

Have heard that this should indeed be worked by 86101 + 67013 for the initial leg - does anyone have more detailed times for the Euston - Crewe run, please? Many Thanks, Cheers, Geoff
