70812 (70801 has gone to Rugby for some well earned TLC!)

Colas have had 66544/549/551/553 on hire from Freightliner (as it was then) since this time last year.

Looks like they're going to have another try next Tuesday (September 8th): https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:GRSTCTG/2026-09-08/0000-1717

As far as I am aware, the Port Talbot furnace won't be operational until 2028, so until then any workings from Handsworth will presumably run to Liverpool.

Stone traffic to Sizewell from October/November.

Fixed that for you! ;)

Should be 37425 working UTU-1

Weedkilling train, as far as I am aware.

The Scottish PLPR has been 43-hauled for a couple of years now. 37s still work UTU trains to//from/around Scotland - they are easy to find on RTT because they run with class 3 headcodes, not class 1. If anyone is interested in these workings, Freightmaster provides detailed weekly test...

Fly spray is the worst for this - even a direct just mildly annoys the fly rather than killing it. I've had to resort to one of those electrified 'tennis racquets', which is admittedly far more satisfying than an aerosol!

There is a long running discussion about the need to double-head these trains during Autumn and Winter to reduce the likelihood of failures on Shap and (especially) Beattock here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/delayed-due-to-failure-of-tesco-daventry-coatbridge-drs-service-17-12.296248/...

It's been like that for several years - if you want 'clickable' headcodes, you need to use the Traksy, Railcam (or Freightmaster!) maps instead.

Yes and yes. All diagrams run daily from early October - 3S84 is the usual path out of 3S84 and 3S86. 8Yxx are 'as required' de-icing runs used in the Winter months (January to March) as far as I am aware. The exact start date differs from year to year depending on weather conditions during...

It sets off from Liverpool at 20.55 on Wednesday 2nd, getting to Lincoln at 08.44 on the 3rd. Overnight trains on RTT always give the data as the date of departure, even if a train is booked to depart from its origin location at 23.59!

Further to Turbostar's reply, here is a photo of one of last year's runs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimnisbet/54872426460/
