Yes 4Q43 ran last night. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R21106/2025-11-13/detailed#allox_id=0 The 99s did the Prestonpans move again last night to get back from Waverley to Millerhill. I watched on Traksy to see them arrive at Millerhill, where they ran through the yard and...

Thanks for that, answers all of my questions concisely.

Only thing that annoyed me yesterday was 4Q38s ability to avoid my attempts at catching it!! What should have been a simple 30 minute walk turned out into a couple of hours as it seemed to get the freedom of the network. I’ve a couple of comments to add. 4Q38 arrived at Slateford and the route...

Now I like that idea, drag the 92 along for ETS!

Here they are:

0Q99 just departed Leicester 41 late, 99001 and 99002 showing on RTT.

Thanks!

Anyone know if 93006 worked back to Daventry on 4M30 yesterday? The other loco with it on its travels, 66512 is showing there on a TOPS list this morning.

Then we have truly lost essential abilities in this country, when compared to these two being brought back to life after the state they were left in during 1970 as shown in this Rail Express report: The bizarre – and genuine – sight of No. 368 damaged in a light engine collision with classmate...

Same happened with 43030 at Carmont, despite looking unscathed it never worked for ScotRail again. Doesn’t mean the contemporary insurers are correct though. In contrast Southall crash 43163 in 1997 was utilised afterwards. That would have experienced a far greater force on impact. 70012 was...

Here’s a more up to date photo this year, it’s now even in Avanti livery...

Better using this from 390033 surely? https://www.flickr.com/photos/153521554@N06/43504371092/in/photolist-29hkgRE-2gbpmCv-2ocfzRF-2ocid5T-2k4EvGU-2ocktMV-znCEsm-qWngWh-21BucG7-aAaYEt-fn7mve-m9ey9v-fn7jZP-arkK3i-M4xL96-5GvAgZ-7A9dVM-2Gs3Tu-2rmXp1W-2jJxeiZ-2rmRpGz-2rmVFQs-2rmRpFh-22zSBSU-ezY52J

There’s a programme on TV about preparing Locomotion for this historic run- Guy Martin: The British train that changed the world Sunday 7.30pm channel 4 From the trailer it looks worth watching.

That’s my photo that I posted to the previous ScotRail enthusiast site at the time (2004). It was on the 0705 Glasgow- Edinburgh and was wrongly routed into platform 16 which was not electrified at the time. Good to see the photo resurface after all this time!

I’ve just received my ticket for the Polmadie open day. Full instructions included on boarding the bus to the event. Rolling stock display* including:  Caledonian Railway No. 419 (No. 55189), the oldest preserved steam locomotive to have been based at Polmadie Depot, courtesy of the...

I’ve seen 769448 today but not 769446? Currently on 769434 on 2O74. It looks in ex works condition externally! The windows are all open from Southport for some nice thrash in the driving car until it switched over to electric.

Much appreciated, thanks.

Locos on this would be appreciated please: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R15814/2025-10-03/detailed Locos return on this later: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R15813/2025-10-03/detailed
