One from yesterday - Monday 6th March.

What was the DBS 66 on a ballast train southbound from Basford Hall around 1405? I think it was 66009 - but (is it my eyes?) I find the new DBS typeface really hard to read!

There are so many TIPLOCs for Crewe that just Basford Hall is rather hard to pinpoint, not to mention the many services passing through each of those.

If it was the following, then yes it was 66009
Train 5248694 (H15973) 6V11 10:00 Briggs Sidings Steetley Company to THEALE HOPE CEMENT

Hi. Heading to Birmingham tomorrow to try clearing some LM units. The workings of the following in advance would be great if anyone is in the know.
323201, 205, 209, 210, 243, 172222 and the PPM on the branch.

Also... Does the 1649 to Hereford still get 2x172/2 or has that finished now?

I'm afraid that nobody will be able to tell you until the early hours as allocations are made during the night. Suggest you give the request a bump early tomorrow.

Quick question, where and how do you find out these allocations people are asking for? I might seem a bit stupid asking, but just curious as to how people are finding this info.

At my desk
Hi all,

Had a excellent day today (09/06/2017) from London to Toton and back via Leicester.

Wondered if anyone can help with the following bits:

@ 12:29 a Red DB class 66 passed Through Toton I think it was 66113 on 1017 Scunthorpe Trent T.C. to Eastleigh East Yard. Can anyone confirm the loco and the Train ID: 6????

5Z53 0902 Nottingham to Nottingham Eastcroft was a cl.153. Can anyone ID this one please?

What was at Leicester Yard at 13:55 please? I have a few numbers taken from the photos I got and viewed as I passed both North and South. If anyone had a full list it would help tie up a couple of things especially the 2x Blue cl.56s and the two Railfreight cl.56.
Behind 37670 is a EWS and DRS 37. Also there is a green 37 there too.

59201 was at Kentish Town at 15:10, Any idea what it was on please?

Many thanks in advance for the help :)

A little late but if you are still after them.
201 = 13:13 BHM - Longbridge, 14:05 BHM - Litchfield cty, 15:23 BHM - Redditch, 16:55 BHM - Litchfield TV
205 = 13:55 BHM - Litchfield TV, 15:33 BHM - Longbridge, 16:25 BHM - Litchfield TV
209 = BHM - BHM international shuttles all day
210 = No allocation (at soho 09:29)
243 = 13:52 BHM - Longbridge, 14:45 BHM - Four Oaks, 15:43 BHM - Redditch, 17:15 BHM - Four Oaks
172222 = 15:17 Snow hill - Dorridge, 16:16 Snow Hill - Worcester F st.

Not sure of the PPM but think it is 002 and the 16:49 is now 2x170

Thanks for this. Regrettably trip was cancelled due to being unwell overnight. I've only just looked at my computer. Will try again another time..

Just two requests from me on my way home, in both cases fleet numbers were blocked by intruding services!

2D62 1632 Penarth to Bargoed: 142+143?
2C85 1700 Cardiff to Taunton: 150265 plus another 150?
