Many thanks both.

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know what headcodes are used for LUL adhesion trains?

This makes absolutely no difference to its operation.

90MPH freight has previously ran as Class 3 headcodes under EWS. Changing the headcode classes has heavy implications e.g. rule book changes, so this is extremely unlikely Class 93s have received 110MPH ORR interoperability approval...

Doesnt look like that one ran today: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H57890/2026-09-29/detailed Its always a DB 66.

The trees outside Waterloo General Office haven't given the green light yet :D

As @sad1e stated above, 3S81 (Broxbourne Circuit) first ran today with 66719 & 750. Shame this circuit doesn’t have 69s!

One West Coast is the project name not the operator name.. the structure will be amalgamated but the operators will stay separated.

I've updated Post #150, I'll try and keep track of the locos in use throughout the season. Let me know if something changes! Separately, 3W01 ran today using 69s - I believe this one is an adhoc RHTT.

3W74 doesnt appear to be running daily either yet. The GW circuit from Swindon seems to be operating fairly consistently.. so far.

Depends what you mean by RHTT! https://flic.kr/p/e2qsGh https://flic.kr/p/ee5Sru

Certainly keeping the fleet utilised! Cant wait to see them in full brown livery :D

I don't this is correct. Grand Central stated when the lease begun that 142 and 143 were leased to add 'resilience to the fleet, facilitated a heavy maintenance programme on the Class 180s'. GC have 10 180s which should be more than enough for the two routes.

I suspect so, the path is marked as NSC/RHTT https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R62474/2026-09-27/detailed

Seems to be a lot more Tanks in use on these trains that I remember previously, is no sandite used?

68014 and 68015 currently operating 3J41 70816 and 70801 currently operating 3J11 All four 68s are now in the COLO pool

Sort of.. basically, the 2 HC is because it is a DMU path. 2Q's are pretty common and together they indicate a train on test, this could be 730s, 345s, 153s etc.
