Double Colas 70 at Ely

[Danieljj21]

Hi, I was passing through Ely at about 2045 yesterday (7th July), & saw two Colas Rail 70s with a rake of Network Rail wagons, but was unable to get the numbers. Was anyone else about the area at the time & managed to get the numbers? I believe the train was working Whitemore to Hoo Junction. Many thanks if you're able to help.

Have you looked at realtimetrains.co.uk ? If not, tt may give you some more information?

Maybe it wasn't doing the whitemore to hoo junction, but that was all I could find on rtt that would've been in the area at that time, but it was definitely two 70s

...but it was definitely two 70s

As above, TOPS shows Monday night's 6O36 as 70801 and 66846:

66846 COLO WHITEMOOR 466O361Z07 D * HOOJNUPYD
70801 COLO WHITEMOOR 466O361Z07 C * HOOJNUPYD

(66846 had worked 6L37 to Whitemoor earlier on Monday and
70801 had been working off Whitemoor over the weekend)

I suppose it's possible that 66846 was erroneously consisted
on 6O36 on TOPS, but it was seen working off Hoo Junction
(to Ashford) on Tuesday, so that seems unlikely...
