There are of course at least four soon to be off lease EMR 156s, plus the four Angel ones in store at Ely, which could go to Northern to allow some 150s to be loaned/sub-leased for the Marston Vale services.

It is already not grey...

406 & 434 if my records are right.

156909/917 moved from Barrow Hill to Etches Park this morning.

They, along with 360, were quoted somewhere for a Newton Heath to Long Marston move yesterday, but I've not seen any confirmation that it ran.

Thank you, missed that move.

Are 365508 & 518 still at Peterborough or have they also moved to Doncaster to join the rest of the even numbered ones?

All of it can be done on IC services. As it happens, I have friends who are doing just this today - IC511 Lisboa SA to Guarda via the Beira Alta, lunch break, IC542 to Entroncamento via the Beira Baixa, then IC731 north to Porto, thus covering the section as far as Pampilhosa twice in one day...

It is no coincidence that the eight 2600s returned to service so far (or perhaps nine from this week or next, given 2610 is ready for testing) are already fitted with multiple working equipment, from their days working in pairs with CP Carga. The tenth loco, 2612, is also MW fitted, but the next...

Do you know which ones? Seems I have 11 on my list... Must have missed a couple. 40807 40900 902 904 41161 189 42167 176 231 563 565

Has there been any progress with 769426? Last reported moving from Cardiff back to Brush in April, but with one driving car from 319374 (77342) in the formation, in place of 77485.

383 is in store at Burton - 373 perhaps?

Order has been changed - 56031 - 69001; 56057/56311 - 69002

CP Traction Review April 2021 1400s CP; 1429 is at Barreiro for R2 overhaul, expected to be completed around June 2021. 1436 has been active in the Porto fleet since the start of this year and will be joined by 1461 soon. This was released from overhaul at Barreiro earlier this month, but has...

44029 was moved from Wabtec, plus two others, but can't confirm which ones. 44032/44086 were possibles, but there are at least two TSs and 7 TGSs at wabtec as spares donors.

Here in Portugal, four from the five daily services between Porto and Pocinho, along the Douro valley are booked for class 1400s, as mentioned. Only the 1525 ex-Porto and last one back off Pocinho in the evening are units, with even this turn meant to go over to 1400s soon. There are currently...

142047 still the only one at Gascoigne Wood? Or have I missed that one moving.

A 142 reported as having left Heaton by road transport around lunchtime today - unit and destination not know yet.

Lisboa-Porto is cheaper for two people on the train than it is the car - based on just the return trip costs - with three people when car depreciation/maintanance costs are added in. Prior to Covid, passenger numbers were increasing year on year, reversing a downward trend that we had for manys...

That is 4007, damaged in March at Santarem. The driving car from 4005 remains as it was, dumped outside the works at Entroncamento, in full view of those passing on the mainline, as I do every week.
