Do you think anyone could tell me what HST set for tomorrow(30 Aug) will be on 20:15 Pad to Swansea. Should be the set that forms 07:30 Pad to Penzance. Thank you

OC30: 43079 - 44026 - 42080 - 42251 - 42236 - 42079 - 40807 - 41008 - 41007 - 43131

Anyone know what was on the 1533 Hertford North - Moorgate on 29th August? A pair of 313's but I didn't see which ones. Thanks!

How far back can someone search with access to this system?

It varies. Sometimes it can be a month or so for unit enquiries, but some freight or passenger workings may only be a few hours before the information is unavailable.

Anyone have any idea which 67 did 1R34 1315 MYB-BMO yesterday? It was an EWS livered one but not 67023, which was parked at Wembley, or 67017, which I had on 1H53 1255 BMO-MYB.

Thanks very much, Adam

 

[1e10]

In that case, can anyone find information for these?

24/08/2013 0600 XC service from Leeds to Paignton.
24/08/2013 1805 XC service from Paignton to Manchester Piccadilly.

And possibly these..

24/08/2013 0812 GW service from Bristol Parkway to Weston-Super-Mare.
24/08/2013 0735 GW service from Taunton to Bristol Parkway.

Thanks

220005 I believe (saw it at Birmingham on the outbound working, 1207 Manchester to Paignton)

24/08/2013 0812 GW service from Bristol Parkway to Weston-Super-Mare.

150122+153333 (passed them at Bristol Parkway on the 0700 Cardiff to Manchester).

I was driving north on the A74(M) early this evening and saw a 20 and a 37 on a nuclear flask heading South on the WCML. Is it possible to identify these, please?

It took me back to 1981 when my interest in railways had just started. I was out with my truck driver father one day and passed a 37 running light in nearly the same location

Looks like the 15:12 Torness - Carlisle Kingmoor DRS.

Hi have a few questions and wondering if anyone could help,

At Crewe at around 09:15 I saw 90020 and a 92 and 67 together but could not get the numbers as I was speeding past on a pendo

At Crewe at 15:35 two green 86s passed just south of basford hall and there was a ews liveried 67 on shed at lnwr

If anyone has any ideas what any of these were I'd be very grateful

Brilliant, thank you.

Never did identify the 37 from 1981, any idea?

 

[bb21]

150122+153333 (passed them at Bristol Parkway on the 0700 Cardiff to Manchester).

24/08/2013 0812 GW service from Bristol Parkway to Weston-Super-Mare. 153325 + 150122

Eh?

 

[breadfan]

Eh?

Is it better to trust the sighting?

On the 19th August I was on the 2313 ex Blackpool North and text a friend to say I was heading his way on 156441. He said the system said it was 156424 on the service. As I had had a few drinks I thought I must've got mixed up. However I checked when I alighted and I was right. His reply was that it goes to show you can't trust trust.

 

[43094]

Done some digging.

TRUST for 24/08 does say 150122 + 153325 - I've double checked just in case I'd made a typo.

153333 is shown with 150131 on 0837 EXD - PGN and 0930 PGN - EXD. Hope that helps.

 

[bb21]

Done some digging.

I think I know who to believe in the case of conflicting information.

His reply was that it goes to show you can't trust trust.

I think you need new glasses.

No, seriously. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that TRUST can be wrong occasionally I guess.

 

[1e10]

Eh?

I'm pretty certain I seen it on the 0812 BPW - WSM at Parson Street, the livery stands out. (Though I'm not sure on how many green sprinters FGW have.)

 

[High Dyke]

Never did identify the 37 from 1981, any idea?

Sorry...no i can't. Was it a blue one? That used to be a popular colour.

 

[bb21]

Unfortunately 153325 and 153333 are both in the LM green livery.

Oh I see, I hadn't any idea there are many around.

 

[43094]

dannyandy – the 86s were 86607 and 86632 on 4L92.

The loco convoy you saw were 90020, 67029 and 92041 on 0K41.

Sorry, I can’t 100% confirm the 67 you saw subsequently stabled at Crewe – however, 67029 is shown as having been stabled on Crewe IEMD since arriving on 0K41, if that helps?

Thanks thats great and its ok if you cant confirm 100% what the 67 was at crewe

 

[Pride Of Crewe]

Afternoon all, a big request from me today. I need the following, all HSTs that ran in south wales between 8.50 and 14.30 yesterday if possible, the plain blue 153 that worked the Taunton Cardiff and the HST that worked ECS from Hereford to St Phillips Marsh. Thanks in advance.

 

[SprinterMan]

67025

Adam - it was 67025, set AL03.

Thanks very much guys It's weird that Chiltern are using so many EWS-livered machines instead of their designated silver ones. I prefer the EWS livery as I don't think the Silver suits the 67s, so I was pleased to get 67017 on my trains.

Adam

 

[PHILIPE]

FGW have 2 153s in LM livery - 125325 and 153333, the two in dispute so could have been easy to get the wrong one unless knowing the individual numbers for certain..

 

[Searle]

Could anyone tell me what was on this service on 21st August. 37612 was on the front and there was another 37 behind it, and what was it running? (looks like track cleaning or something!) Photo of it is here

 

[Freightmaster]

Photo of it is here

That train is actually 6M22 Hunterston to Sellafield nuclear waste flasks...

(looks like track cleaning or something!)

...not a good idea to clean the track with nuclear waste,
but its probably not as toxic as cillit bang!

[richard031]

Is anyone able to tell me the two class 319 units which formed 2E07, the 17:40 West Hampstead Thameslink to Sevenoaks, on 27 August?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Richard

 

[northern156]

Anyone able to ID what Northern Rail 142 was on the front of 2N18 1805 Carlisle - Newcastle this evening? 142068 was on the rear.
Also could anyone please ID what DBS 66s were on 0E61 1910 Carlisle Yard - Tees Yard (which ran 60 early) this evening?


Thanks in advance
Sean

 

[rownd]

Could someone tell me which 185 which was on 1N68, the 1749 Manchester Vic-Blackpool N tonight please?

Many thanks!

Doesn't sound like it'd go well! Should have known from the Sellafield bit!
