    Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

    Think something has happened to 807010 this evening. This service has been stuck just north of Rugby for an hour. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W09608/2025-07-24/detailed#allox_id=0

    Can’t quite remember now but I think it must have been somewhere on the M62.

    Does anybody know of 466041’s status ? Is it still in service ?

    Class 67 Locomotive Questions.

    Yes definitely. Apart from occasional Welsh and Chiltern services I’ve never seen them running. Feels like all new diesel locos have been poorly used since the 1980s (apart from 66s).

    Class 67 Locomotive Questions.

    Class 50s had barely 20 years before they started to be withdrawn. Nimbus just scraped 16 years in service. 56042 had 12 years in service.

    The trains at the Mid-Norfolk will be soiling themselves when they see one of those ROG 37’s turning up.

    Cleared a class in 60 minutes, which one?

    Of course. Presumably from Nunnery as there are usually one or two on the depot.

    Marylebone

    Remember visiting the DMU shed in the late 80s. There were a number of steam trains there, including Flying Scotsman. Wasn’t expecting them to be there.

    Southeastern metro fleet replacement/improvement

    I was at London Bridge on a weekday morning early in January and there were very few in operation. Ten or so years ago you’d see half the fleet out on a weekday morning.

    Are 466s still in regular service ? Is there a batch of them stored at Gillingham ?
