The only sets you can generally be sure of the next day are the set/s that end up at Holbeck each time, more often than not form the following days 1V44...so if you see a refurb one ending up at Holbeck, keep an eye on 1V44
Very interesting discussion and thank you to everyone for information and advise....am travelling up to Edinburgh, then on to Aberdeen and planning one final journey behind the HST's and looking at doing the 1008 ex Aberdeen the following day to Inverness and return on the 1248 to...
No, 4N93 was worked by 66532 but it could have developed an issue en route so a loco (66510 in this case) was/is required to return from Tees Dock with 66532 (or in place of) when it returns
Possibly connected to the previous arrival of 4N93 with 66532 and maybe an issue with the loco for the return working (on Monday I assume)...seems to have lost a bit of time at Darlington...
All 6 seen yesterday - 2 and 6 by the running lines on arrival in to Leicester from the north, 004 inside (doors were open yesterday), 003 outside to the right of the shed as viewed from the station and 001 and 005 arriving back from Bedford after their jollies on 0Q21
Yes, it ran 5Q63 Old Dalby to St Pancras as a pair with 810003....I think they then split at Kettering with one continuing to St Pancras and the other heading back north via Corby/Melton Mowbray as 5Q65...9 and 12 were also out on test with 6/10/15/16 in service
810015 showing as allocated 1F07 ex Leicester which I believe looks to be a fifth diagram unless its just standing in for a meridian...RTT has 006, 010, 013, 014 and 015 out today
Yes, had a rather cosy standing room only journey in the end coach with 4 or 5 others yesterday when it formed a short formed 4 coach 1S33 to Edinburgh (220018 was also initially showing as allocated up until at least 5am according to RTT when I looked)
