Evening all,

Simple (hopefully) request from me - yesterday (18/08) 2E25 15:23 Warminster - Grt Malvern.

It was a blue 158/9 but can't remember which one.. I believe 158952?

Thanks in advance

(On RTT did you update the settings to "Actual Order" rather than the default "WTT Order"? Actual Order can make it easier to find ones like this which are running early/late...)

Thanks for the correction.
Garbage In / Garbage Out as they say! (where some data sources are concerned) :lol:

Other than big thumb errors, which I know I've made, I think the only ones I come across regularly are those who assume allocations like these won't change and 'report' accordingly!

To be fair, TOPS itself has some interesting ideas of where locos are sometimes...!

I think as long as folk know that as with all data it's not 100% accurate (and if they want that level of accuracy it needs corroborating, preferably with Mk 1 Eyeball or other photographic/video evidence!) :D

Thanks, original service (2L67 1745 Cheltenham to Maesteg) was cut at Cardiff due to trespassers. 150230 was working it but left Cardiff towards Canton depot. Would have been immensely annoyed if it was sent direct to Bridgend to pick up Maesteg from there!

The trespassers were at Pyle so wouldn't have affected this route. The problem was a widespread signalling failure throughout South Wales which affected Signaller/Crossing phone communications.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if 456015 is running today? Was wondering if it was back in service following the Waterloo derailment.
Thanks in advance!
