As of 6am the 47s are attached to the front of 387172 in double header formation switched off.

Need to get the 47s on both ends of the train for that to happen, only place that can be done (at least during service) would be somewhere like Eastbourne or Newhaven marine where they can take one of the double headed 47s and change to top and tail, for the onward move to wherever. Considering...

A point I overlooked. I thought they'd collect the front (presumably undamaged) unit where it stands once track fixed. But your idea of taking it to Lewes (or Newhaven sidings even) sounds more plausible

Interesting how it's 2x 47s*. You'd think only one needed to attach to the north end and drag it wrong line to Keymer Junction like the cranes did. Unless a reversal at Lewes is needed for whatever reason, or maybe the front 387 is going to lovers walk instead of selhurst? To get a 47 on each...

Appears the line between polegate and willingdon junction is shut today (Saturday), reportedly due to buckled rail. Obviously caught that one in time. Eastbourne services from Brighton terminating at Polegate VVAR

It's going via Brighton

Not directly related to this thread then, but dB cargo 66 is at marine with its freight . Assume that'll run light engine London via Brighton to release it.

Personally I don't know what the difference is. Lewes has a big curve on platform 1 and 2 and definitely has on board staff to dispatch it

It is, but this is hamsey area so it's still relatively fast. Look at Google maps and you'll see it's still a long way from Lewes tunnel where the 20 starts

This would have had a guard.

I think so, there have been minor derailments and 377442s fire (which involved top and tail 37s), but nothing else down here rings any bells

It's the back based on the photos and direction of travel

Eastbourne bound trains appear to be running as normal, so I assume it didn't get to Lewes despite what websites show. Photos show lots of long grass and tussocks, which probably won't help vehicle recovery. can't imagine it'll be open any time soon, Hopefully no serious injuries. While no...

It's possible, but it's worth mentioning that southeasterns 377/1s are designated as such, while southerns 377/1s are put into a 377/4 fleet. Guessing the easiest thing to do would be to chop the last 2 digits off the unit and stick a slash before the third. Over a year of data and it's...

Thankyou I notice that in the feed, many assets (such as an example 377/1) are given a fleet of a different subclass, Ie 377101 is in the fleet group of 377/4. I notice this with some 158s as well. Does anyone know if there's a particular operational reason for this or if it's likely just a...

If it came from the settle / Carlisle line, there is limited signalling technology so I'm guessing that when the train enters it's next signal berth (which could be many miles in a non-TD area), it shows as in platform. I don't know how approaching and in platform differ but I'd guess it changes...

Yes been getting it all over forums

Thanks yes I must have pressed ignore on someone it's showing now

Appreciate the list, but does anyone know where to find this thread? It says allocations diagrams and timetables but when I go there it's nowhere to be found ? Can only find it for me when it's up on New Posts

Nice idea and I hope it goes well. Maybe if it goes well it could help boost the viability of some sort of bluebell railway connection between east grinstead and Haywards heath
