I think you're correct - the only other option in terms of Blue 92s at Wembley/Willesden would be 92010, but that was showing "T" (Transfer to depot) on TOPS this morning and didn't work last night (90045 subbed in for it).92033 has brought the stock for 1S25 into Euston, so should be on 1S26. 1S25 loco looks like 92018 although the number was difficult to make out from my train arriving at Euston.

Scrap that theory - it's a Sleeper 92 on the Lowlander ECS as well, so means one of 92010 and 92018 is on 1S25 and the other is on ECS moves. This may tie in with 86101 possibly working the Footex tomorrow morning...?I think you're correct - the only other option in terms of Blue 92s at Wembley/Willesden would be 92010, but that was showing "T" (Transfer to depot) on TOPS this morning and didn't work last night (90045 subbed in for it).
I'm reasonably sure 1S25 is 92018 and thus 92010 is on the ECS - as the 1S25 loco looked filthy (which 92018 is at the moment) whereas the ECS loco appeared decidedly cleaner.92 on front at Watford tonight could not see number.

Aye - 37601 apparently - also a scrambled headcode which suggests it was a ROG rather than GBRf move.The ECS for tomorrows Footex was hauled by one of ROG's 37's (well it was a 37 in "europhoenix" colours)
1S25 (Highlander) showing as 92018 on TOPSI'm reasonably sure 1S25 is 92018 and thus 92010 is on the ECS - as the 1S25 loco looked filthy (which 92018 is at the moment) whereas the ECS loco appeared decidedly cleaner.
92 018 on 1S25

As long as I can claim my prize for loco recognition based on dirt levelsI claim my prize for being able to see out of a train window in the dark!

Footex? Sorry, what's that?Footex
Footex? Sorry, what's that?
ThanksIt's a charter service organised specifically for conveying football fans.
Chelsea were playing in Liverpool today which is why one of the Footex trains ran.
...I think the term derives from a shortened version of "Football Excursion" - I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong.Footex? Sorry, what's that?

Also other variants, e.g. Rugex, Golfex etc
Indeed. There are those on here that still think it’s 1987 ...... or 1967 on occasions!Definitely 'off-topic' but I must defend my corner ! Hopefully those nasty words used in #5400 above belong in the past.I think all football excursions together with 'rugex' are responsibly run nowadays ; whether they are extra trains run by TOCs to keep fans away from scheduled services or charters run and paid for by football clubs with the help of companies such as Thomas Cook and their sports division.

92 033 on 1C11/1B26
90 016 on 1M16.
Any ideas as to why 92 018 isn't involved tonight?Dunno about the Klondyke as the 90 was moved 16 mid road earlier.
