    There are always pictures :) Image shows 69007 sporting full BR Blue with Yellow ends and cab window wrap-around. Credit to Rob Tiller for the image.

    GBRF confirms conversion of Class 56s to Class 69s

    Thats a solid looking livery. It also carries '56037' not 69007 and no mention of GBRF (that I could see)

    GWR Class 769 information. (Units no longer with GWR - Off Lease March 23)

    Interesting use of words.. he isn't saying it will never happen but more, not 'yet'? If it was completely over wouldn't he say 'terminate' or 'cancel'?

    Well, 2023 is here, I wonder if any will enter service in these 12 months..

    43384 repainted into Intercity executive livery.

    Glad to hear it. The post didnt have a timestamp so I am, of course, glad to be proven wrong :)

    43384 repainted into Intercity executive livery.

    Many thanks Cowley. I read today that 43184 was involved in an 'incident' where paint thinner (!) was thrown at the front. It was shown in a rubbed-down condition back at Laira Depot. EDIT: Edited for past tense since this is old information

    GWR Class 769 information. (Units no longer with GWR - Off Lease March 23)

    I wouldn't expect to ever see any 769s on that route again.

    Class 230 stock to run fast charge batteries on GWR's Greenford West Ealing route late 2022

    Given that most of the D Stock will be sold off for scrap, I don’t think there’s much chance of any expansion at all.

    Class 230 stock to run fast charge batteries on GWR's Greenford West Ealing route late 2022

    As expected. Although they will need some engineering support for it..

    GwR HSTs to be stood down

    This clause is referring to advertised first class.. which if it wasn't advertised then it will be declassified. Simple really.

    313 Railtour?

    As long as its £31.32 then I'm happy :D

    DfT publishes Cross Country Prior Information notice

    I really wouldn't read into this about service patterns.. The direct award in October will specify that.

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Does anyone have any details on Avanti 9M52 on the 20th Dec? It’s noted as cancelled but I believe it still ran. It should have been 390137.

    WMR Class 196 Build and Implementation

    Looks like 196111 has picked up some graffiti from its travels!

    Does anyone know why the Caledonian sleeper trains are pulled by a 66 now and not a 73?

    Hopefully this fits in here:- It’s been reported that a Mk3 ‘generator car’ with Eastern Rail Services on the side is at Inverness now. Edit: It is Nightstar 96371 1671559626 Image of 96371 is Caledonian Blue Livery

    323221 new livery

    323221 is still base grey of London Midland where as the original was white.
