Looking at previous moves that appears to be a path that gets to Long Marston at 10:02

The Class 87 Movement, from Wembley to Long Marston, was planned for
today but has now been postponed until Wednesday - this is due to Staff
Sickness at Cotswold Rail.

I'm in Oslo, just a bit out of position then!!! :lol:
Good odds on S96 next week at some stage aswell with them both being down south again, be helpful if it was sent back north on S96 rather than some 0Zbungle mystery move!

That's a bit far for a mad dash back really! :-P

It's a bit of a mystery why 28 came back light but to quote a certain person "GBRf are just a load of f*cking cranks" so who knows...!

22 has been given fresh gold buffers, some new depot stickers and a steam clean on the underframe. No time for white tyres though. The headboard was even requested (by a GBRf driver apparently) for tomorrow but it is unavailable unfortunately...:sad:

No afraid not...other priorities and all that...!

Besides, it was pointed out to me that it would be on the front of a rancid duff tonight (if the move ever leaves WB) and that's reason enough not to bother!

Even those at GB can't pull that one off!

ECML is fine for me, being based in Donny now is ideal! :D

Keeping things on topic, no movement last week (been watching them like a hawk!): 22 has stayed put at WB and 28 is at the PRDC.
Oh and the 325s are now allocated to WB so wait for the stickers and gold buffers...:lol:

I would have thought an 87 would have appeared on 1S96 again as there is no stand-by 87 at Warrington at the moment

Come on GBRf kick one out on S96!!! 7th June was last time out, a rather large gap methinks.
325s viewed on Ilford last week - same reason they have become so reliable??

This day last year was the last straw with G21/B05 first go - 87002 collapsing at Bletchley, shortly after this http://www.redcow.fotopic.net/p31850661.html Don't think 90031 blew up today, it was just viewed and abused:lol::lol:

Both 7's were on repairs at WB today. 0% availability for GBAC.
325s are in Ilford for overhaul unfortunately.

And didn't I know it...:shock::sad:

Was it 90031 today then? It wasn't shown as allocated when I left work earlier - indeed WB64 was shown on G21 with no loco...!
