Had read that 89001 would be used but thought it’d be the light engine move from Crewe H.S to Euston https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U88405/2026-07-14/detailed

Saw light engine 66023 overtake 143611 by Kennaway tunnel a few years ago

Generator issues for 50008 I believe

Only caught a glimpse of it & was wearing my dark shades as I pulled onto the A5

Think it was this one that was parked up in the abnormal load bay on the A5/M42 island earlier this evening Finished work hoping for a photo as I needed one of it but it’d gone presumably heading back down to Somerset after being at the NYMR

Saw it at Norwich during a layover then heard it departing Sheringham while we were outside the pub Finally scored 37099 Paint job on 422 too for photo Thanks guys

Good morning Hi I’m in Norfolk on a week’s holiday. Noticed that there’s a 1Q94 Cambridge to Lowestoft calling at my local station Sheringham this evening. Was just wondering what maybe on it Thanks for any help Carl

Young chap dark hair? We arrived around 10am I had a white class 50 alliance polo shirt on. Anyway we thoroughly enjoyed our visit there thankyou

Had a potter along the MNR today as we wanted to visit Wymondham Abbey in the lovely weather. Nothing special about the service, it was 142061. When we got back to Dereham I did a short vid clip passing 50019 Ramillies outside the shed. She’s coming on nicely The class 03 was in the bay...

The mule finished them off. Constant hard acceleration from frequent stops did them no good at all. They were high speed locos & were fairly happy going full speed. The shove duffs that replaced them were no better apparently at matching them Went up the 1 in 37 from Exeter St David’s not long...

As I’m in Norfolk I thought we’d pop down & have a day there on Sunday as 37175, 50050 & D1015 were supporting the home fleet Never had a Western or a Hoover there. D400 was awesome as was D1015, D5631, D3935 & D3940 Didn’t bother with the 37’s Very well attended by ale lovers, enthusiasts &...

Still like it when I saw it in October 2024

Good evening everyone This could run tomorrow from Crewe to Rugby. The headcode only interests me as class 93’s have been known to use it Was just wondering if anything was in the system? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R46886/2026-06-04/detailed Thanks Carl

LoadHaul on 50035 Had me spitting my tea 50044 in two tone green from 2009 Not preserved at the time 50007 Brunswick Green Plenty of spoons carried it but why a 50 & then rename it too!

Defo 50049 Defiance

Had 57010 which was required on the Friday (first off Kidderminster) as a positioning move for the Clayton at Bewdley. The 57 sounded quite meaty on the run up to the tunnel. Back coach to Kidderminster behind the Clayton so front coach with 50033 for the run back to Bewdley which was...

Defo quieter & more enjoyable on Friday. We left around 4pm Craziness was building then, people probably finishing work/school etc.

Luckily I’m only 20 mins from East Mids Parkway from Ashby-De-La-Zouch Still, as you say an early alarm call! Did think about waiting until just after 9am to join it but never had a 31 or 20 to Bedford or a 50 back up the Midland Mainline so it’s an early start.

I couldn’t tell you wether the mk3 set has a kitchen. The advert says a well stock buffet car & there’s no first class dining available
