The Pretendolino thread

[ValleyLines142]

Rumour from Crewe is that when 90045 goes on exam next week in Crewe it will be swapped with 90042!

Clearly 90042 is now back up and running after it's slight 'torch' at Wolverton earlier this year!

Delete... I just replied to a post from the first page!

 

[Blindtraveler]

wow. 056 next month? Fairly chucking them out arnt they?
Not that im moaning. Pendos to BHM are sure far nicer than vomits for all there shortcomings.
Appologies to earlier posters, had forgotton the earlier posts Re the pretendo set. I take it that during extentions then that the set wil be pritty much a perminent BHM EUS feature

You might want to check the date the original post about 90042 swapping with 90045 was made (31/12/2010)

One of the two 90s that had a recent fire ( can't remember which one but it was the second of the two ) was back in traffic about 3 weeks ago. It was a minor bogie fire.

Not sure if they made one good one out of the two bad ones though?

90044 was one that was repaired and back in service shortly after its incident.

Does anyone else have any gen, is it doing the full diagram or was this just a one off working, or is it running south in readiness for the evening trip to crewe.

82126 was the DVT coincidentally Pendolino 390049 was in Euston a couple of platforms over from 90049

 

[Blindtraveler]

spooky!

Have pendo extentions started yet? If so how long should they take per set?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

First one is due to be done in April, as I understand it.

 

[DarloRich]

Pretendolino tonight - yay or nay after hemel disruption?

 

[Pumbaa]

Haven't heard - probably been canned with crews all out of place, especially as not all sign the 90s/Mk3s.

 

[DarloRich]

It was a negatory - 1849 was cancelled got a wedged 1910 voyager to holyhead as far as mkc

Heard it wer 390050 tonight, glad i weren't booked in Crewe

 

[saracen43]

Does anyone know whats happening with the pretendolino set tomorrow, is it doing its usual friday run.

 

[DarloRich]

is it on a full ruin or only the 1843? Does anyone know? I ask as i am in London for meetings and fancy a bit of a trip out

 

[33056]

Knowing my luck it will be out all day as I am at work. Was off Friday last week so went out for it in the expectation it would be doing the same as the previous two weeks only to find out that it didn't come out all day
(unless it went on its usual spin to Northampton)

 

[43094]

90049 allocated, not sure if all day or just 1K39 though.

 

[tcm1106]

Shouldn't have left my laptop at work and I could have checked

 

[sprinterguy]

I hope that it's working the 18:43 today at any rate, I'll be able to work three loco-hauled mark 3 rakes into my afternoon

 

[phil281]

[33056]

Typical :roll: 06:43 Euston to New St is showing as WB64 set - no loco on consist but believe it is 90049.

 

[phil281]

Yeah I think its 49

 

[87015]
