RHTT Season 2026
Which specific train(s) are you interested in? (I have a record of all the 2025 start dates for each diagram) MARK Hi Mark, I’m only really interested in the 3J84 Toton circuit if that’s OK for you to check. TIA, Amos

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does anyone know what will be running around Bristol this year, specifically the Clifton Down line? Last year it was just 66's, so hoping for a bit more variety this year!

I don't think anyone will know for sure until they start running next week.

69014 seems to have been allocated to the returning 3J42 RHTT STP from doncaster to peterborough
Most likely means the chance that the Peterborough doncaster RHTT circuit will definitely be class 69s i think

I suspect so, the path is marked as NSC/RHTT

Are the Carlisle RHTT running to Silecroft this winter and turning round? I thought they ran to Barrow and swapped back over there last year. With the line still being closed. There was a movement over the crossover there yesterday. It was running behind the passenger train up to Corkickle I heard it as i was walking home after I got off.

66544 apparently worked 0Z59 Westbury Down Yard - Swindon to join 66549 that arrived from Bristol St Philips Marsh the other day.
Now appears to be a STP 3S59 Swindon Transfer Yard - Moreton-On-Lugg tomorrow & 3S60 return to Swindon Monday, assuming a shakedown run?

Correct - the other two Swindon based trains have already had their shakedown runs.

There's usually been a mix of RHTT formations in previous years, some with sandite and some without (water jetting only). I'm not sure what determines whether jetting only or jetting + sandite is preferred on any given circuit, or if anything has changed recently.
Browsing some photos suggests there are three typical configurations of the RHTT modules (3 modules per wagon),
1) sandite - pump - tank - tank - tank - sandite
https://www.flickr.com/photos/dbs60100/22012344510/ (Photo: DBS 60100)
I think the reason for having sandite modules at each end is so that the sandite can be applied after jetting, regardless of direction of travel (otherwise the sandite could be blasted off by the jets).
2) tank - pump - tank - tank - tank - tank
https://www.flickr.com/photos/se_rail/37434355134/ (Photo: South-East Rail)
3) as per the first configuration (with sandite) but with an extra wagon in the centre conveying 3 additional water tanks

Update on current RHTT wagon locations:
* indicates a change of location since post #151 on 15th September. Presumably most of the wagons at Whitemoor will end up based at Stowmarket?
