67021 was in Wembley Loco Holding sidings this morning, from what I can tell the other EWS 67s aren't in the vicinity, so suspect that's your 67.

66097 was reported as being on 6W40 Wootton Bassett to Westbury, arriving Westbury Up Yard at 14:09. Not sure of its movements after that or whether feasible it could've been back in Wembley for when you saw it.

However, 66017 was at WEFOC today (and last couple of days) and is DB Red - so maybe that's what you saw? It was repainted a couple of months ago, so is still looking pretty 'shiny' I believe.

No probs - just seen some updated info and 66017 reported as still at Wembley just after 5pm. Pretty sure that was your loco. (66097 still at Westbury at c.6pm, so definitely not that!)

To continue:

Was 66002 at Southall this afternoon? (Tucked on wagons on Down side)
What's the maroon Warship at Old Oak Common?
Distracted by the Warship I failed to id the 57 standing in front of it - possibly 57603?

And finally (for GW) a GBRf 66/7 up through West Ealing at about 1220?

Many thanks in anticipation.

To answer you currently unanswered questions. It was 66102 at Southall TC and 57602 at OOC - I passed by early evening. 57603 is at Long Rock.

Many thanks. Going to London on Thursday afternoon to try to find it!

I'm sure others will pop up to disagree, but the best place will probably be Willesden Junction, that way you can keep an eye on the North London Line workings (including the Clapham - Willesden shorts), and be in a position to overlook the DC lines below in case it pops up on an Euston - Watford service.

For the East London Line, probably one of the stations on the core section to see movements both directions.

Good luck hunting it down, hopefully it will come out for you and not be sitting on the depot all day to come out during the evening peak as I think a couple units do.

Silly question, with the 'Dumfries' block on at the moment, is there any Scottish 156s on the Carlisle side of the block working Carlisle - Newcastle services at the regular times they would normally work (i.e. the Glasgow Central - Newcastles), or are those services getting covered by Northern units this week?
