Thus proving why TOPS requests are occasionally pointless!

70807 is now allegedly at Rugby D.E.D.

Evening All,

Would anybody happen to know what's going on with 5Z69 Castleton-Southall tonight?

Realtime Trains | 5Z69 1228 Castleton Hopwood Gf to Rugby | 09/03/2025

I was hoping to catch it as it got back to London but currently sat at Rugby since 17:02. Is it anything to do with the line from Willesden to Acton Wells Jn currently showing as closed?

Any info would be very useful, thanks, Chris

Ah, edit to my last post, just on the move now by the looks of it, not sure of the reason for the delay or the Acton issue.

Oh, now having moved slightly it's showing as "cancelled due to a problem with the steam locomotive". That's put a spanner in the works for tonight

Morning all,
I'm sure this is a long shot but would anybody know if 171811 is working in/out of London today? It's been down on the Ashford-Eastbourne run for quite a while but as it's a new week I just thought I'd ask as this week is my last chance to get it before I move up north.
Thanks, Chris

Hi
I've just passed 6X41 0400 DAGENHAM DOCK RECP GBRF to GARSTON CAR TERMINAL GBRF.
66727 was on the front. Were my eyes deceiving or was there a 66 on the rear?
If so, does anyone know which one?
Thanks

Suspect 66764. Not entirely sure though.

If it is on 6X41 with 66727 it’s not showing on TOPS, nor is anything else either.

171811 is currently Stabled at Selhurst T&RSMD

That's great thanks very much, I'll head down there this afternoon and see if I can find it

The only reason I thought that is because 66727 was on the rear of 6Z48 yesterday night to Dagenham, with 66764 at the front. But obviously it’s entirely possible that that was not the case.

Does anyone know what's on the 0K94 0810 CARLISLE KINGMOOR SDG ( DRS) to BESCOT UP ENGINEERS SIDINGS please

From the Non-urgent TOPS requests thread :-

An odd question: Was there a black five steam locomotive failed at Rugby yesterday. I saw a steamer as we passed through but thought I was going mad!

 

[DarloRich]

From the Non-urgent TOPS requests thread :-

thanks!

 

[Bigchris]

That's great thanks very much, I'll head down there this afternoon and see if I can find it

Afternoon, just been down to Selhurst and walked down the side of the depot, identified half a dozen 171s but no sign of 171811. I don't suppose it's allocated to anything this evening rush hour is it?

 

[Peter Sarf]

What would this (5Q33 Ilford to Barton Under Needwood) be ?.

I am vaguely assuming a unit off the wheel lathe at Ilford but to Barton Under Needwood ?.

Hmm - cancelled.

Looks like 66764 did couple on the rear of 6X41 earlier but wasn’t shown on the system.
It worked 0G96 earlier Garston to Basford Hall.

171 811 still showing as Selhurst; it must be inside?

Yes, must be as it definitely wasn't on view outside. Fingers crosed for another day, got 3 more days to get it
