I take it the cab looked like that before the journey started and the lorry didn't back into something...

Yes, was damaged and has remained out of service since being run into by an Azuma.

Collision and derailment at Neville Hill Depot (13/11/2019)

Within the last hour, there has been a collision and a derailment between a HST which was 43300 and an Azuma which is 800 109 according to various Facebook groups. There is considerable damage to both loco and unit, I just hope that nobody was hurt as a result. LNER Twitter has confirmed that as...

Poor thing!

Does anyone know the disposal location? Booths?

Does anyone know the disposal location? Booths?

Not Booth's. It was seen heading west on the M62 in the Manchester area.

 

[Townsend Hook]

Does anyone know the disposal location? Booths?

If it started from Neville Hill (I‘m assuming?) and was then apparently seen on the M62 near Manchester it could be going more or less anywhere except Booths.

A long time coming for 300’s end…

About time!

Surprised it was allowed to travel in that state without a tarpaulin or something over the nose. Presumably they were happy no chunks of fibreglass were going to fly off at speed!

I strongly suspect that the low-loader wasn't travelling at any great speed....definitely an 'inside lane only' job!

 

[meepmeep]

Would have probably had an escort vehicle behind it too

43300 has not gone to a scrapyard, but is in storage at Reid Freight’s yard in Longton.

That sounds very interesting. Any suggestions on the planned outcome?

Nothing suggested but if I remember rightly the article referenced Pitlochry as the potential destination - anything there that would enable 2 and 2 to be put together?

Is this working anything to do with some powercars making one final journey?

That or some redundant Mk3s (if there are any left at Laira)?

There are some redundant Mk3s at Laira, although i have no idea how many there are left. I've attached a photo of one that was visible while passing by the depot on Sunday. (Apologies if it goes off topic)

There is a booked loco move from Leicester to Laira the day before running as 5V56:

Then on the day the loco returns to Leicester running as 5M56: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K00805/2022-05-31/detailed

I don't know if it'll run with powercars or coaches in tow, but if someone knows it'd be good to know.

 

[St. Paddy]

It’s a light loco move, wouldn’t it need barrier coaches to take Mk3s away.

The class 5 headcode would suggest that it is running with barrier vehicles.

The class 5 headcode would suggest that it is running with barrier vehicles.

Last year when the first pair of former EMT power cars were taken to Newport docks it ran as class 5, even though it was just loco and power cars. As I waited for it to pass Severn Tunnel Junction I was expecting some coaches with the power cars due to the class 5 headcode.

Or even both.

There is a Mk3 converted to be a Thai restaurant at Pitlochry, if I recall correctly.

That enterprise went into liquidation some time ago, unless it has been resurrected under another guise.

Ah yes…the classic combination of railways, Thai food and Scotland…can’t imagine why more haven’t found their way up there!
