I like the fact that I can view historical workings even back up to a year, were RTT only off a week of historical data.

Thank you yes I have started that.
Hi all,
I have recently had an issue with Freightlocate which means I have now lost access. I have sent emails to the address below but had no replies.
Does anyone have any contact details please, thank you.

Thanks Bob and is there a way to tell the 756 and 231's apart from the 231's having 4 diesel engines and the 756's having 1 diesel engine and 3 battery rafts, albeit wired as four battery sets connected to each traction motor.
Looks like the first TfW 756 has made an appearance in Hungary. Presumably in the commissioning process of vehicle technical tests and authority checks on the Gyor-Hegyeshalom line. I wonder when we’ll see the first one in Wales. They look so similar to the 231’s

I think 426 is still at Brush Loughborough and unlikely to be delivered now. 421 I don't think I've seen it since about October last year.
769007+769008 5P49 Ystrad Mynach to Cardiff Canton. 769008 failed at Ystrad Mynach on the 2P49 just after 1230pm. 769007 arrived as 1Z99 from Canton and 37418 was sent from Rhymney as cover as 0Z99. Seen passing Llanbradach 7.1.2022
In the early hours of Saturday morning 8 January the 231 should be having what I believe is it's first of 2 runs to Ebbw Vale
3N00 off Canton, 3N01 to Ebbw Vale, 3N02 return and 3N03 back to Ebbw Vale, 3N04 to Cardiff and 3N05 into Canton...
It seems the 231 test runs to Rhymney this weekend 7/8 January are cancelled and new dates scheduled for the 14/15 January.

Not sure what will happen to the 769’s but we’ve got them for a bit longer? Yes a lot of the 142/3 went to Simms but more than expected went into perseveration, the...
They are starting on the right foot with the 231's, hopefully seeing them out and about on the network regularly now. 769's had lots of delays in testing particularly was with us for nearly 10 months before it's first run up the Rhymney and a 4 month delay due to Covid.

Nice video...
The paths for the first 231 run up to Rhymney on Friday night/Saturday seem to have been amended. With 3R02 and 3R03 now no longer showing? Maybe a pause to review how the first runs went?
3R00 2300 Cardiff Central to Rhymney
3R01 0007 Rhymney to Cardiff Central
3R04 0324 Cardiff Central to...
Cwmbargoed (Ffos y Fran) opencast in South Wales was scheduled to close in October 2022, I have now heard from an unconfirmed source that it's now been brought forward to March 2022? Can anyone confirm that date of closure please?
