Back at it again in yorkshire today, maybe we will see it return to NH on Sunday, will soon find out. Also I wonder if it came over via hope valley line and stayed overnight and ended up on diagrams for the next few days, my best guess.

Apparently if it runs it (150270) should be heading from Neville Hill back to Newton Heath later today as 5N32 operated by Rail Operations Group.

Any ideas what this is? Judging by dilligentdaves very helpful list, nothing is due to be finished this weekend, and certainly nothing going back to Heaton.

Thanks, as always, to DD for his regular updates. Any news on when 156401 (came back from Wolverton C6 four weeks ago now!) might be ready for service? Also noted that 156420 (C6, came back in January) has managed all of about three and a half days service this month, before returning back to the Newton Heath care home! The other two Porterbrook recently C6'd 156's, 452 and 466 are giving excellent service to those of us who pray that our morning / evening commuter trains aren't short formed!

Will anything replace this at NL or is 142 due to come back?
