This is 37405. It's doing two round trips then taking RHTT wagons to Coleham on Wednesday.0Z56 is scheduled to run again tomorrow on a round trip from Barnetby Sidings via the Scarborough branch from York.
It's scheduled as a light loco, so is this likely to be a 56 again? Is the clue in the headcode..?
It's been ages since I've seen an original, non-class 69 on the mainline!

I think Totton and Southampton routes will be MPV’s as they have a specialist yard in Totton now for those, only time I think we get anything remotely loco hauled is the SITT with top n tail GBRf 66’s

as mentioned its 37405, its also on tomorrows (26th) 0Z56, makes sense as 56s are not permitted on the 3J51 circuit, also in this case the headcode is far from a clue, 0Z56/57/58 has been running on and off for a few weeks on the Humberside routing always using 70009 or 708160Z56 is scheduled to run again tomorrow on a round trip from Barnetby Sidings via the Scarborough branch from York.

When does the King's Norton On Track Plant Depot RHTT start please on the Salop Line and also when does the North Wales circuit start?
Kind regards.
Kind regards.
29th September for the Chiltern ones, running through to the end of the Summer timetable on 13th December. Though LU leaf fall season on the Met is extended to 11th January.

I just noticed the signs have changed at Wigan to GB Railfreight Seasonal Maintenance Depot. It was a rather tatty looking DB sign previously.

Previously ran by DRS, the North-West/East RHTT's are now in the hands of Colas Rail. This been 3J11 Carlisle Yard to Carlisle Yard via S&C, Carnforth, Blackburn, Preston to name a few, 3S77 Carlisle Yard to Nunthorpe, 3S78 Nunthorpe to Carlisle Yard and finally 3S95 Carlisle Yard to Carlisle Yard via Dumfries (MFO).

Sorry to ask again, has there been a definitive answer as to what's running the 3S20/3S21 etc. runs please?
Lewis LJ

there is no definitive answer but its looking like both 3S20-29 and 3S11-15 might be Colas 56s this year, maybe, hopefully.

Looks like 3J51 and 3S71 wont be the only 37/97 operated RHTTs this year as 37419 and 37425 have been placed in charge of 3S93 from Carstairs taking over from 66846 and 66849.

Thank you
56s will do from a personal point of view, much better than the dulcet tones of a 66 powering up after crossing Burley Viaduct.

well for now expect the usual 66s, 66846 and 66849 are now freed up being replaced by 37s and 66847 has been active around Doncaster, i too really hope that at the very least 56s are used but its still very very possible that the usual Colas sheds will appear.Thank you

37099 and 37254 have been dispatched on 0Z37 to York Thrall today (18th), looks like thats 3J51s locos sorted, there is 0Z56 from Barnetby Sdgs on Saturday but my best guess is thats the one or more or even all three 56s going to pickup a set and take it to Coleham on 6Z71.

Same as last year - Colas 66s, although they may be 'hire-ins' from Freightliner or DB
rather than Colas's own 66/8s.

Does this mean I'll be getting 37s on the Scarborough branch?

Should be the same as last year - only the new Colas workings (i.e. those trains won
from DB and DRS) will be any different.

So will the Airedale lines (3S24) be colas 66s again this year and anyone know what 3J11 will be?

Colas operated 66s yes, but they may well use hired in 66/0s from DB or 66/5s
from Freightliner rather than their own 66/8s - it's a bit too early to tell right now,
I'm afraid.
I imagine the fact that one of the Carstairs based 37/4s has come to grief already
after only three runs will make Colas extremely reluctant to use 'classic' motive power
on their RHTTs any more than they absolutely have to!
