Looking for some help in filling some blanks from my day out to Yorkshire today.

These all relate to services/sightings today - Wednesday 5th September 2018:

1. Does anyone know what was pulling 6S94 through Lichfield this morning please?
2. Can anyone confirm that 08943 operates at the Bombardier Central Rivers depot please?
3. I saw 31233 at LORAM in Derby. It was attached to another 31 but couldn't see the numbers - anyone know it please?
4. What classes 08s are stabled at Wetmore please?
5. Is 66783 currently stabled at Roberts Road? And also, what number would the 08 have been that I saw with it please?

Not sure if this is the right thread for most of these but thought I'd start here.

Thanks in advance

Edit: 1 more - was 88010 on the Tesco this morning (499U on RTT). I got up especially to get it and a pendolino got in my way.....again

Last night (Tuesday 4th) around 2230 I was stopped at Willaston Crossing (between Nantwich and Crewe) expecting a 150 to rattle past.

Instead it was a Colas 70 on a loooooooooooong timber train.

Can anyone identify the train and loco please?

Thanks.

TimboM, that is superb. You're a gent, thanks very much.

I've also just caught 92042 on the back of a triple with a 66 leading and a 67 in the middle. I believe it was 047D 1946 Wembley to Crewe electric - you wouldn't happen to have the details of the 66 and 67 would you please?

Morning all! I travelled on 1S10 (0930 KGX-EDB) yesterday (i.e 1/9/18) behind 91125, and I think Mk4 rake BN20 (that is to say 12224/12477/12439/12440/12326/10321/11241/11320/11420/82200) was in tow. Could anyone confirm that that's correct?
Thanks in advance :)

Real headcode 0K06 - 66124 + 67013 + 92042 (92041 should've been on it as well, but that's a whole different story...)

Looks to have been 220026, but I’ll confess TRUST is sometimes a bit ropey when set swaps are involved.

Thanks for that. I was worried that TOPS would only display the first unit as far as Birmingham New Street, so glad to see it is different

It's a shame 041 wasn't there as well as I need all the 92s for sight but shouldn't complain at 92042 as it was a nice bonus at the end of a good day.

As always, thanks very much for getting back to me :)

Can anybody help me with the Loco type, or even its number, on 1Z48, UID U10847, or it's return 1Z51 UID U10852 on 11th Sept. I don't know whether TOPS would have detail on West Coast excursions, I suspect that it would be a class 47 or 57 as WCR has plenty of both and the journeys are timed for 95mph haulage, but am curious to know which. TIA
Edit: the two RTT entries are:
Outbound
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U10847/2018/09/11/advanced
Return
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U10852/2018/09/11/advanced
I am aware that north of Hellifield, haulage should be by steam loco.
Thanks for any info.

I know I've provably used up my available TOPS credits for this week but wondering if I can squeeze a couple more requests relating to yesterday please:

Does anyone know what partnered 43239 (on 1Y84 1202 York to Kings Cross I think)?
Can anyone enlighten me as to the number of the 08 I saw sat outside Etches Park on my journey home last night?

It did a trip to Gatwick and a trip to Redhill this morning then it’s on the Reading - Basingstoke shuttles this afternoon.

Thanks. I hadn’t realised it ended up back in the Reading area. Thought it was somewhere operating on any routes in and around Bristol.

It does seem to have been on it for quite a while now! But, at least, people know where to find it.

Been on it since 19th July. 6L48/6X41 is one of those flows that can have the same loco on it for weeks on end. 711 had an exam at Tuebrook over the late August Bank Holiday weekend, so is likely to stick around for a little while yet too. If TOPS is to be believed it has a C Exam up next, so after this stint may get replaced.
