GWR Sleeper ECS moves

[westerndave]

I’ve noticed lately a lot of empty coaching stock moves of the GWR sleeper stock during the daytime is there a reason for this as there seems a lot more than ever before.

I think it's due to engineering works that are taking place in Devon/Cornwall.

Just to add to your reply, it’s the Holcombe tunnel rock fall shelter, the line through the Dawlish area is closed overnight Mon - Thur nights for 8 weeks until March 21st.

Yet ironically Plymouth not involved in these runs, and it is Plymouth drivers who have the most refreshers in for the 57s! Work that one out!

I don't suppose anyone knows the plan for Sunday's Up midnight from Plymouth. The set ran down last night tnt with 306 & 603 but it is booked via Honiton tomorrow. I wonder if it will run with a single loco and run round at Exeter or run TnT and save a run round. Any help appreciated, cheers.

Hence tnt on the down.... . Tnt up.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if there was a restriction for DOR when running via Honiton or anything else that might prevent this.
