I agree,if SWR currently require more 701's coming out of store,they could have moved 3 sets easily yesterday from Marchwood - Eastleigh in a shift instead of just the one.Not exactly a long distance move and better utilisation of the loco whilst it was down south.
I believe that 37608 was tucked inside the class 93 as either a barrier or for compatibility purposes.
Which in my view,taking the class 93 to Gascoigne Wood in the first place was a pointless exercise as the class 37 could have worked solo.
What is the difference between the east and west sides?331's run in pairs on the west side without any issues.
Units out of service for maintenance/repairs/modifications is the main problem at the moment.
On Monday morning for example 4 class 331 (33% of the east fleet) and 4 class 333 (25% of...
Yes,saw that path earlier.It was booked to run to Chester Middle Yard but terminated at Chester and then moved onto the TMD.
The report I saw earlier from Holyhead was obviously wrong,so apologies for that.
Class 197's not in passenger service today are -
197003 - Holyhead
197004 - Chester...
Could be but 197021 is also stopped there.
I saw a report yesterday that only 197003 and 197030 remain stored at Holyhead now.Don't know how accurate the report is though.
So 197028 has re-entered service working 1V99 Chester - Cardiff on Tuesday (197012 197028 197019)
197029 must have moved...
Could anyone assist with the loco and stock on the following please?
5Z52 Carnforth - Keighley Worth Valley Railway
3Z70 Millerhill - Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
5Q86 Banbury - Eastleigh
5M50 Great Yarmouth - Wembley
2Y61 Fort William - Mallaig or 2Y62 return
and the unit on 5Q74...
Can anyone assist with the allocation of yesterday's 5Z96 Barton Under Needwood - Derby Litchurch Lane please?
Loco was 47739 presumably with a voyager.
Thanks
Thanks for the continual updates.They are much appreciated.
Can I just ask what pool 66552 and 66591 are in now?Both are stored on Midland Road as far as I know.
Many thanks.
A couple of moves yesterday,
197007 and 197011 worked 5Z07 Canton - Chester TMD.197011 was left at Crewe South yard en route for further storage.
197033 worked 5T97 Holyhead - Chester TMD after its visit to the wheel lathe.Still not in traffic today though.
This morning 197049 worked 5K49...
