3Z01 today 21st November: arrives Derby 1002H, departs 1700.
While some freight trains dwell for a long time at known holding points such as Wembley Sidings or Acton Yard, this is the first time I've seen an ECS waiting for nearly 7 hours!

It's the EMR Aurora train launch, in Derby platform 7.

(If anyone knows how to obtain the schedule of 3Z01 (UID J49515) in a nice-to-display-on-the-forum form, please feel free to do so!)

The Rail 200 exhibition train must have some long layovers as well! Presumably, however, they’re not booked in as one single working.
