Yup. You obviously knew him !!!

D213 booked to work the diesel leg of the English Riviera Express on 1st June

Dang, a Peak on the mainline in Derby on the evening of 29th May… Reaches for diary!

 

[Iskra]

Interesting, are all those paths likely to be used or just some of them?

These paths seem to have been removed, but there are some Sheffield-Worksop light engine moves in?

The paths have changed a little, just the 1 run between Barrow Hill and Worksop then back to Crewe earlier than before. I believe the Sheffield paths are for 93001 testing.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunate for me, as I finish work in the area at 1400 tomorrow so will just miss it

Possibly related to the Bucket & Spade charter that runs that Wednesday over that route to Scarborough?

Here's BLS's info, if any reader is curious at the "bucket & spade" reference:

I did manage to catch this loco move, and 93001 while I was at it in the end, although not the best footage ever:

 

[Skymonster]

After so many years - a Peak hauls a train up the Midland Main Line again, and what a fantastic sight it was (although it so nearly got bowled by a north-bound Meridian!). LSL 45118 leads a class 40 and a class 37 on 0Z44 Barrow Hill - Crewe on Wednesday 29th May 2024.

 

[08221]

Is there any reason the Barrow Hill to Crewe LE workings usually go via Lichfield. I often think via the North Staffs line through Uttoxeter would be a shorter route.

I’ve always assumed - but only an assumption - that its because the line from Stoke to Crewe (via Alsager) doesn’t offer direct access into the former Crewe Diesel Depot and thus a potentially difficult to path set of reversals would be needed at Crewe. Whereas the northbound WCML offers much easier access to LSL via Basford Hall.

Thanks, that does make complete sense

 

[Skymonster]

By the way, I’ve nicknamed the formation “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” The order of the locos seems to make it entirely appropriate!

Whatever your opinions, it’s certainly quite the collection of locomotives

45118 has been out on test today between Crewe and Chester with 47593 (itself having been out of traffic for a few months) for company.

593 for the Weymouth on Saturday then.!!

 

[12LDA28C]

Possibly.... It should certainly be back in traffic before the end of the month

 

[Forty29]

I see today on a YouTube video 37425 and maybe 37424 couldn't quite make out number though is in large livery on LSL depot.

 

[Breadface]

37424+425 are destined to HNRC, Barrow Hill or Worksop.

 

[12LDA28C]

593 for the Weymouth on Saturday then.!!

Quoted now, along with 47712.

All being well, Bubble Car 121034 should be running in passenger service on the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway this coming Saturday, 15th June.

More likely to be top-and-tail to make the shunt easier at Weymouth and to save running round but it has been a pair in the past. No idea about the Steam Dreams, assume one of 47805/810/828.

 

[SuperLuke2334]

Whats happened to 47614 at the moment?

 

[MiNi]

614(853) is having 501's power unit fitted

47828 on steam dreams

It's 47853, not 614 despite what it says on the side of the loco.

Ah ok thanks.
