Pretendolino - Rugeley Trent Valley

[dangie]

Sorry if mentioned elsewhere. Novice here again.

Did my eyes deceive me or did I see the Pretendolino passing southbound through Rugeley Trent Valley this afternoon?

If so could someone please tell me why, and if this is a one-off or regular service.

Thanks.

Can't understand the post. Pendolinos are passing through Rugeley Trent Valley all day.

It was running with the loco on top of the DVT.

 

[dangie]

Can I expect it again or was it a one off?

It was running with the loco on top of the DVT.

That must have looked very interesting.

Did it fit under the wires and the bridges along the route?

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I love how it lost 45 minutes waiting to reverse at Wembley Central. North end working is a right pain there!!

Saying that, it must of has a loco run round if the loco was ontop of the dvt (harh harh)

WB64 has been known as the pretendolino ever since it returned from its paint job into the current VT livery.

Any ideas why it had a jolly to Edge Hill?

 

[carriageline]

Maybe something to do with the loco? What loco did it have on it?

It lost time because it was booked to go straight in the north end but couldn't as Carriage North box was closed at the time. I think it reversed in Kilburn loop and a class 47 sent out to drag it back in the south end; no idea why the loco was at the south end but I am reasonably sure the loco was swapped from 90020 to 90026 whilst at Edge Hill for some reason. 90026 is on it tonight and on the correct end now (I think!)

 

[carriageline]

90020 is on one of the sleepers! The loco was on the right end of the mk3 set when I got in this morning

Can anyone tell me if the pretendolino is running today, what are the timings and which class 90 it is.

1G40 1903 Euston - Birmingham New Street
1B94 2050 Birmingham New Street - Euston
5B94 2310 Euston - Wembley

All allocated to 90026

 

[carriageline]

How comes it didn't run tonight? 5G40 left the depot, then came back half an hour later!

I would assume a fault was found either en route to or at Euston.

A post over on WNXX suggests a brake fault on Mark 3 coach 12138
