Great Northern Fleet - 379s introduction

5T93 05:00 Kings Lynn Stabling Siding - Kings Lynn
1T03 05:14 Kings Lynn - London Kings Cross
1T08 07:12 London Kings Cross - Ely
5T08 08:38 Ely - Cambridge Sidings South

5E28 22:12 London Kings Cross - Hornsey E.M.U.D.

But was it? 379006 arrived at Kings Lynn on 07/10 in a pair with 379003, and departed Hornsey on 09/10 in a pair with 379003. Possibly 379006 was in a pair with 379003 on 08/10 too?

Seen at Cambridge and coupled to 379008 which also hasn’t been reported on this thread before iirc

 

[Kite159]

I see another 379 is currently heading to Horsey from Worksop as I've just passed it (couldn't ID it) with 5Q35 1256 Worksop Up Receptions to Hornsey E.M.U.D..

(Felt strange this morning passing Nene sidings at Peterborough with nothing in them)

you can use https://live.rail-record.co.uk/allox/ (type in the unit number) to work out the October first dates. Data only became live in mid September, so can't accurately be used for those.

Believe it’s visiting the wheel lathe there

 

[60159]

Definitely 2 there this morning, didn’t see which ones though

Are they coupled to each other. Which is at the London end please. From recollection the first couple of coaches are clearly visible.

Reported elsewhere that 379017 has gone to Selhurst for a vehicle lift which can not be done at Hornsey. There is of course a perfectly good wheel lathe at Hornsey !

379018 is currently working 2L30 12.57 Kings Cross to Letchworth. The unit is the other way round compared to the other 379s in that 1st class is at the north end of the unit. It is still paired with 379003 which is the normal way round.
