Afternoon all. Does anyone have the front 37, barriers and tfw unit on 5W78 Crewe to Landore today please? 'Mirlees Pioner' was on the back but surprised me at Ludlow. Thanks in advance.
Passed a couple of coaches of (I think) either 197 or 231 on lorries. They were southbound on the M40 around J12 at about 1230ish? About to get snarled up in about 4 miles of stationary traffic.

National Rail gives the validity of an East Midlands Rover for weekdays as AFTER 0900.

Hi,
Saw 4O57 Wentloog to Southampton around 1630 near Didcot from a distance. I see 66532 was allocated but also appeared to have a Colas 70 behind. Could someone confirm the number please?
Thank in advance,

Hi everyone I am on my last day of a Scotland trip tomorrow and would love to try and knock off these, if anyone knows and could post any known allocations for tomorrow if they show up for 156430, 156485, 158712 and 170412 (does that still exist?) I'd be very grateful. Thanks Pete
I was just watching RailCam at York a few minutes ago and I swear I saw a 185 with a very, very pink section on each end, about a quarter of each total coach. Only got a quick glimpse - it was on a southbound working.
Is it a one-off advertising livery? Or have I forgotten my meds again?
