What 67 was this?

[Temple Meads]

Hello all, can anyone help me identify what Chiltern Mainline Class 67 this was?

It was stabled just outside Birmingham Moor Street on Saturday (10th November) on the rear of a Chiltern Mainline set, suffice to say I'm pretty annoyed that there aren't any numbers on the end

A process of elimination leads me to think (and I could be wrong) that it is either 014 or 015. The numbers are in white on the angled cab side, so if you had been able to get a slightly different angle you may have been able to see them, sadly you can't make out the number on that picture.

I think it is 67012

67013 and 67015 have some sort of antenna above the windscreen

So either 67014 or 67012.

Judging by the pattern on the buffers I would guess 67012 !

Great process of elimination there, thanks

That was quite impressive what you did there!

Doesn't 67012 have the blue and white sticker (rather like the Scottish flag) on the front?

EDIT: And the aerial

So Does 67014

I think its only on 1 end (and is it the GSM-R aerial?)

The aeriel is on one end only, and is the GPS antenna. Same on a 66. On a 66 it is above the drivers obs light (windscreen) at No2 end, also above No 2 end windscreen on a 67 I think I'm right in remembering.

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Ah okay.

 

[Temple Meads]

Now I'm confused again :P

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Do the Chiltern 67s ever get reversed relative to the rakes? If not, then it is a fair assumption that the stabled locomotive would be the same way round as it always is, so this lack of a distinctive end visible in the picture might yet still help idenitify it?

 

[Cherry_Picker]

Yes, they do.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I should have said turned shouldn't I? But I guess you worked out what I meant!

OK, aside from the amazing unit spotting, who on earth specified that lighting? It looks like it should be on decking bought from B&Q!

 

[Cherry_Picker]

The lighting on the walking route? It's excellent mate.
