Hi Folks. Does anyone happen to know if this train actually set out from Immingham this morning please? I was hoping to catch sight of it in Basingstoke this evening......

RTT doesn't seem to be working properly at the moment

It's looking hopeful then!! I'm hoping RTT gets up and running on this one to track it.....

WNXX forum reports 59003 sighted at Clay Cross 14:32 (14 late) - the 20s are now up front.

Ooh, 59003 is back! I wonder where I'll find it for sight!

That was my thought exactly - could end up all over the place I guess. A wet and windy evening in Blazingsmoke for me then....until it turns up!!!

Never thought a few years back I'd ever get to see 59003, one of many signs recently that the UK railway scene is still changing and, in some areas, getting better!

Cheers! It's been photted at Chesterfield - as per WNXX Newsdesk - but no time given.

 

[DEAN MURPHY]

I'm in London...my girlfriend is waiting there to take the photo! She is freezing...

Ian Furness who 'runs' wnxx has posted pics on Twitter of the 2x 20's and the 59 heading past Chesterfield earlier today. Welcome back home!

Convoy seen by me at Bordesley Jn at 16:09 - 26 late.
Further report from WNXX: Warwick 16:50 - 24 late.

Cold, wet but worth it.

Arrived at Didcot Parkway at 18.30. As an added bonus it came through platform 5 (rather than via the east curve), and was held at a red for a couple of minutes - great opportunity to get some unexpected photographs.
