Thanks for posting this info. Hope to get out to photograph 1Z18 during the week probably somewhere between Berkhamsted & Cheddington. Do you know if it's booked to run on the Fast or Slow line or is it the luck of the draw?

Good chance, there's still more A-stock than S-stock in service.

What was the purpose of that ECS trip?

Definitely around 15.40. I didn't get to Watford General until 15.10 and had been there some time before I saw it, and checked my watch at the time - so guess it had been delayed between Bletchley & Watford.

Thanks for the quick reply, Eagle! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sorry I can't oblige on this occasion; saw it from a distance while visiting a friend in Watford General Hospital.:(

Evening All Saw the Pretendelino at about 15.40 this afternoon going in the up direction between Watford Jn & Bushey with green FL 90 pushing. Anyone know what working this was? Thanks in anticipation!

It passed Berkhamsted about 08.53 this morning.

Thanks for the loco information, guys. Forgot to say it went straight thru the down platform at Risborough - no middle road manoevres this time!

Thanks for the info, saltley 1394. Saw it pass Risborough about 10.07 this morning, but couldn't make out which (silver) 67 was pushing it. Anyone know the number?

With Didcot-Oxford closed next week for engineering works, presumably there will be at least some freight diversions up the Chiltern Line? (I guess Dec 28-30 most likely) Would appreciate any info on this, if anyone knows workings and timings. It would be novel to see a 70 powering through...

SX trains as follows: 4M60 - passes Bicester Town at 0538 or 0714 towards Calvert 4V60 - passes Bicester Town at 1202 from Calvert 6V/6M49 - passes Bicester Town at 2026 from Calvert or 6V35 - passes Bicester Town at 2036 from Calvert 4M60/4V60 (the Avon Binliner) last ran on April...

On the subject of ambiguous notices, try this one:- At a public foot-crossing on the (single track) Princes Risborough - Aylesbury line is a notice "STOP LOOK LISTEN Trains Pass in Both Directions on Both Lines".

I understand that these runs will be repeated on Friday 4th November and Saturday 5th, though whether with the same unit or not, I don't know. Anyone know whether the timings for Friday and Saturday are the same as for Wednesday?

Thanks TDK. If it was on its way to Crewe, would it have started from Wembley and reversed at South Ruislip?

Anyone know why 67015 was travelling south LE on the Greenford loop this morning? It passed Castlebar Park at 11.00.

Passed Berkhamsted this morning about 10.52, ahead of schedule and going very well, looking very smart!:)

You're right - it is wishful thinking! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Today 1H33 (10.55 BMS - MYB) passed Risborough on the through line about 10 minutes late. :)

Went down to Princes Risborough this morning hoping to see the new through road in use. All three Loco-hauled trains went through the up platform loop(obviously 1H08 has to), so no joy there! I guess we'll have to wait till next week to see regular use of the through road; nevertheless the...

Thanks Mark. I broke my own rule (never assume anything!) by assuming it would run its usual TWFO schedule. Today it left Calvert about 09.50, but after running round,was still sitting in Claydon loop at 11.20 when I had to abandon things to go and collect my daughter. Hope to have one...

Thanks Mark Looks like 6A58 is roughly in the same path as the former Avon binliner. Hope to get up there next week to take some pics, so long as it isn't raining like today! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Anyone know whether 6A56/6A58 ran yesterday and today? No sign of the...
