Gas Factory loop

[wls1]

Bit of rare track for service trains this evening.

West Ham are playing in Stratford and returning ECS services are turned into passenger services as extra services.

This service: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/F20026/2017/06/16/advanced

Appears to run into Gas Factory loop to let trains overtake.

Probably the first passenger service for a very long time to go into the loop, but if West Ham play games again then this will happen again then.

The big question is will Axl Rose actually appear on stage at the specified time?

Very busy last two days at Norwich. Never forget...

The train was empty, I was on it. 003 & 018 did the honours.

Not a chance.

Not a chance.

That is so bad considering people have to get home. Can't believe anybody still bothers with such a lack of consideration. Rock & Roll my backside.

 

[Kite159]

Not a chance.

According to one of my managers who is heading to see them tomorrow night, Mr Rose has been good this tour so far in terms of timekeeping.

Might have matured with age

Good to see C2C making an effort for events, although at first I thought it was the connection between Limehouse & Stratford rather than the loop

 

[alholmes]

The same timetable is due to operate, with the run into Gas Factory loop, next Friday (23rd June) in connection with the Robbie Williams concert

He did indeed!
