ROG take over Networker refurb moves

[BRX]

There are weekly movements of Networkers between Slade Green and Doncaster; this has been going on some time and generally worked by GBRF 66s and Arlington barrier wagons.

Today I was pleased to find out this contract has been taken over by ROG - so some more interesting traction on this from now on.

Here's ROG's 47815 today, passing through south London on what I believe is their first working of this move. They are using Mk 1 barrier vans, different from the ones previously used.

ON that note the other morning I saw a the two Arlington Barrier Wagons (ex 508's) with a 313 sandwiched between them. Maybe a GBRf 66 up front. Sat In lovers walk waiting to go later that day.

I think I actually saw a GBRF66 go past (south london line) last night with these towards Slade Green, then returning a few hours later with a Networker.

Come to grief in North London. Best not to schedule trains through closed bits of line like Haringay curve!

Looking at that, I'm confused. Has it been sent onto the closed Goblin only to end up having to run around and go a different way? Equally, I wonder what held it up near Willesden? hock:
