Cumbrian Coast Loco Hauled Stock

[43094]

37218 / 409 will work 1435 CAR - BIF then stable.

37423 is heading to Barrow (no rear loco) to work 1731 BIF - CAR.

How's that gonna work? Loco run-round at Barrow?

It is coming via WCML and Carnforth so it will be a run-through at Barrow.

 

[bb21]

Same questions though. Loco run-round at Carnforth?

I can't see a route with no reversal.

Yes, RR at Carnforth loop, already completed and on its way.

 

[bb21]

Just gone past it at Kents Bank. Looks really odd without an engine at the back.

 

[enrag2000]

37606 failed this morning at Ulverston on 2C47 (10.04 Preston-Barrow).

Empty stock returned to Kingmoor via Carnforth and WCML with 37423 leading (double-headed from Carnforth).

2C47 14.37 Barrow-Carlisle again 153 vice 37s (supplemented by road coach from Millom).

Dear oh dear. I hope things have settled down somewhat when I come to travel on these trains on Friday.

For future reference, that's what a "proper train" should look like.

 

[bb21]

Looks like everything's running smoothly so far today.

Was 606 put back on last night seeing that the rake ended back at Carlisle?

I would doubt it given that everything's running smoothly!

37423 took 2C42 back to Barrow solo last night. Don't know what it is working with today but doubt it is 37606 unless the load regulator fault has been properly repaired this time (failed with same fault on Monday).

37603 has been added to the set with 37423, starting with the 0842 ex-CAR.

 

[RochdalePioneers]

Are services running reasonably reliably? Going for a ride in these on Saturday is an option but a burst tractor stranding me somewhere coastal doesn't appeal as much....

 

[bb21]

Excellent! Another chance to score a new 37 tomorrow assuming that it stays on. Fingers crossed.

 

[BantamMenace]

How big is the pool of 37s that they keep pulling these replacements from? I'm entirely unfamiliar with the DRS fleet and where they base their locomotives.

Presumably the /6 is on the south end if 37423 worked alone from Barrow this morning?

Given this should be the pair at Carlisle tonight and the need to have the /4 on the south end for the last train to Barrow tomorrow evening, I guess that a swap at Kingmoor tonight or between the sets at Barrow tomorrow morning is needed?

 

[winefarm]

The DBSO sign off (9707 not 9710 as i previously mentioned) to admit it to traffic is imminent, as is the arrival of 9705.

I've got a day off work on Monday for doing this, can anyone tell me what the chances of a the DBSOs being in place on Monday is? Is my hope of a 37 on each end next week still realistic?

 

[JonathanH]

There seems to be a very comprehensive list of workings for 37s at http://www.c37lg.co.uk/2015/1507work.aspx . From this, it should be apparent which DRS 37s are available and what else they get up to.

I think that the complete list of 37s used so far is:

37402, 37409, 37419, 37423
37218, 37603, 37605, 37606, 37609, 37611, 37688

 

[bb21]

Interesting that I was just looking through the whole thread last night trying to work out how many 37s I missed. Your list tallies exactly with the one I have.

I'm going for them today (9th) again so if anyone has allox this morning, would appreciate it.

From what I have seen reported elsewhere 423 and 603 stayed on but changed ends at Carlisle last night (or the whole train was turned) and 218 and 409 are still working on the other duty.

Thanks. I got gen this morning and was very glad that it was turned. Otherwise I would struggle to get it today.

Back to Barrow to try for it on the 1437.

[barrowjack]

Just wondered if anyone knows if 423 & 603 are working to their diagram and so 603 will be working the 17.31 from Barrow tonight or if diagrams have been swapped please? Thanks

 

[Chester025]

423 & 603 ended up at Carlisle tonight.

Nice video, that shot off pretty rapidly for a diesel powered train! Could just be the impression of the video but I don't believe the 166s I've been getting to work take off that rapidly.

 

[Newshy37]

Hello, does anyone know which what is on the Lancaster turn this eve', kinda lost track. Is it 603 nth end, 423 sth end. Ta.

Driver's changed at Lancaster then just went after the whistle.

I gather their were more cancellations yesterday due to a door issue.

Can anyone expand on what these door issues actually are and whether they are the same recurring problem.

Well reading Wnxx would suggest door opening on the move, so presumably either the door wasn't shut in the first place or there are issue's with the CDL and the Standard lock?
