You're a star.

I got 451, but unfortunately the fatality at Edinburgh Park means my planned move on 433 (1400 ex-EDB) is no longer possible as now I have not got the foggiest idea what it will turn up on. :(

I may ask tomorrow morning again.

As it turned out, I won't need it for tomorrow after all.

Thanks to a very fortunate twist of fate, we managed to catch it somehow on the 1944 Waverley - Inverness service. Very happy tonight. :D

Can't see anything allocated yet. I'll try and look later on for you, 1S15 is the headcode.

Yeah you did but I didn't know if there was any changes due to mechanical problems to trains or whatever! And it was a change of set!

A little early to ask yet. They will probably be allocated during the night. It could be possible to track from what is in diagram today but that would not be reliable due to factors such as failure, step up to work something else, exams, service disruption.

Ok then,

Could you try and post when they are allocated?

Thanks!

I'm not able to do it myself as I have no access tp TOPS. I think the only thing is to ask again in the morning as nobody with access tp the info is going to keep sitting up all night and periodically check. It may seem harsh but that is the way of the world.

Signalling problems on the Berks and Hants. A diversion would not show up on RTT, any times for missed locations are obviously missed. The diversion would have to be planned and timed to be able to show any details off route.

The issues were around Newbury (I got caught up on the 1704 from Reading which arrived into Newbury 32 minutes late), so I suspect it would have been the 17:33 from Paddington (http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C40341/2014/11/21/advanced) going via Swindon/Chippenham/Trowbridge to avoid the problems as it's got a gap in the timings between Reading & Westbury [and would have been around the right time at passing]

The 158 which was running the 1416 Manchester Victoria to Leeds service today please?

I wrote down 158753 but looking in my book that is a 3-car 158, and the 158 which ran was a 2-car unit (with 153316 attached on the rear).

Unless 158753 has been reduced to 2 cars?
