352g

[Pseudonym]

Hi All,
Can anyone shed any light on the nature of 352G which just passed Bolton le Sands?
Very dark and grainy on Railcam - looked to be possibly 3 vehicles with some lighting in part of one.
Described as ... 352G (PX) : Class 3 - Specially Monitored Train.
SCHEDULE NOT FOUND ON RAILCAM SERVER.
I couldn't find it on RTT either.
I should probably just go to sleep now but curiosity has got the better of me.
Thanks

That camera is on my roof(!), and the train you saw was 3J11,
the nightly RHTT which covers lines in Cumbia, on its way from
Windermere to Armathwaite.

The reason the schedule "cannot be found" when you click on it
is because of an ongoing problem with the Network Data Feeds
whereby if two freight services are running at the same time
with the same headcode anywhere in the country*, the code that
Network Rail uses to scramble headcodes on the Train Describer
feed throws a wobbly and rescrambles the headcodes of both trains!

*in this case, the 'other' 3J11 is a St.Blazey to Penzance RHTT!
