RHTT Season 2026

[XCTurbostar]

My apologies!

 

[Amos390]

99001, 66705 and 66754 are all in Toton now, presuming for the RHTT, possibly a mix and match between the 66s and the 99, or the 99 is there for another reason, will find out on tomorrows shakedown.

705 and 754 on 3J88 so can only assume the 99s there for something else

 

[Tobytrain10]

Looks like the 2 peterborough circuits are both using class 69s, 69008 and 15 are currently on 3J41 circuit, and 69010 and 13 are on 3J30

 

[ajwffc]

the Inverness to Inverness (via Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth) started last night with TnT 99s

 

[Amos390]

3J84 on the move today with the same 2 sheds as last nights 3J88. (66705/754)

 

[Freightmaster]

the Inverness to Inverness (via Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth) started last night with TnT 99s

First run was actually Monday 28th (it's booked to run MWFO this week)

 

[Iskra]

Can anyone confirm if the 37’s are meant to be out tomorrow please on the Yorkshire Coast circuit?

 

[yorkshirerail]

Can anyone confirm if the 37’s are meant to be out tomorrow please on the Yorkshire Coast circuit?

Yes they should be it’s running today

 

[CDM Transport]

Can anyone confirm if the 37’s are meant to be out tomorrow please on the Yorkshire Coast circuit?

[Iskra]

Is the Swindon RHTT circuit runs starting by today?

 

[jondr3]

Is the Swindon RHTT circuit runs starting by today?

Railrecord has 3J41 scheduled to run. Departs Swindon transfer for about 1405

 

[Amos390]

Just seen 3J84 over Lenton North Jn, 705 leading back towards Notts and Newark

 

[Freightmaster]

Is the Swindon RHTT circuit runs starting by today?

Yes - all three Swindon diagrams (3J41, 3S31/32 and 3S59/60) have commenced operation today;
in total, 16 loco-hauled diagrams (out of 30) are now running.

 

[XCTurbostar]

Yes - all three Swindon diagrams (3J41, 3S31/32 and 3S59/60) have commenced operation today;
in total, 16 loco-hauled diagrams (out of 30) are now running.

It doesn’t look like 3S32 commenced today.

 

[Freightmaster]

It doesn’t look like 3S32 commenced today.

The 3S31/32 diagram is activated to run from Swindon this evening, as is 3S59/60.

Sorry for any confusion - once a train is activated, I count that entire diagram as 'running',
even if it the initial working hasn't set off from its base yet.

No worries! Hopefully the 68-67-66s stay stuck to their diagrams

Is there a way of pinning this post at the start of the thread or keeping it near the latest ones? It’s really useful information that will probably get lost as the thread grows.

 

[Freightmaster]

...in total, 16 loco-hauled diagrams (out of 30) are now running.

18 now!

If you talk to @CDM Transport nicely, they might pin it to post 1

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: Yesterday at 19:20 ==

3S70 also operated in the WTT path today as well as 3J01 in STP

[ajwffc]

First run was actually Monday 28th (it's booked to run MWFO this week)

the way the signaler talked about it last night it sounded like it was the first full run (that's my excuse and i am sticking with it)

 

[Amos390]

Toton MML 3J92 flow running now too, same locos as the 3J84 run (66705 + 66754), 66723 (ZA723) "Chinook" and 66778 "Cambois Depot 25 Years" arrived into Toton on 0Z84, presumably will run tomorrow's 3J84 run.

 

[Jacob Porrett]

Shrewsbury RHTT running today with the 56s. It was cancelled yesterday.

Apologies, I haven't been able to find a way...

 

[Peter Sarf]

Apologies, I haven't been able to find a way...

I suppose you might be able to EDIT the first post in the thread as it is yours and in that quote the post that is kept up to date with the information.

I could have pm'd you but at least this way others can correct me if I am wrong !.

 

[cats_five]

Apologies, I haven't been able to find a way...

A lot of people get taken to the first post they haven't read, so several pages down. How about a separate pinned post of it's own, with commenting turned off? In the top section of the forum?
