2023 New Haulages

[Techniquest]

I'm trying to resist the urge to mention I had 67022 years ago, but no I can't! It's good to hear that it's back in service, hopefully I will soon get a ride with it again

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Thanks! Bit of a weird numbering system but otherwise that's very useful

I think it's done that way so that if they eventually have reason to convert the rest to battery extension working as well, they can do so within the existing numbering system.

I'm about to copy you, waiting at Abergavenny for it

I was rather comfortable so it was a shame to get off at Newport, but I had limited time to get a Costa from the station and back on a dud 197 to Cardiff where I only just made my appointment!

104 by any chance? I had that down from Hereford to Abergavenny!

Last gettable 197/0 for now. Once 045 gets its backside into gear, that’ll be the Non-ERMTS 197/0 fleet completed.

Impressive. I was going to do 049 and 050 this morning, on a Hereford to Newport journey, but changed plans and went north!

Good sir, you've put Step's 5, 6, 7, 8 into my head with that

Nice work with securing a 3-car KitKat Carrier though, I should be back out fairly soon with my red pen. I considered trying to do so today, but that was not deemed sensible. From the sounds of it, that's just as well if TfW are up to their usual tricks!

Units needed for renumbering from 450/5s:
450044
450064
450066

Just leaves 450065 of the former 450/5s to try and intercept. Probably will be easier than my last few overground units needed for mileage.
