Has 68008 or 68009 being working any of these services recently?

i have not long been doing this again and i went there a couple months ago i was there at 1030 - 1pm and saw 2. I was only asking which are deff 68's. I apologize if i caused offence.

 

[Sarahs_Railway]

Good evening everyone. I have a few questions to ask tonight so please bear with me! My first concerns two workings this afternoon which I presume are route familiarisation training for Scotrail drivers using the revamped ex-GWR HST units.

RTT lists the following working which is diagrammed as a 125;

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G93306/2017/12/22/advanced

However this was finally cancelled. There was a 125 movement soon afterwards that appeared southbound as 2W82 (Aberdeen to Dundee) and northbound as 2W83 - links below.

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G69983/2017/12/22/advanced

Is there a reason for a 125 working operating under a "2" headcode? and also is it purely coincidence that the cancelled movement happened so close to an actual movement.

I hope this ramble makes sense!

Regards
Sarah

These are, as you said, the HSTs cascaded to ScotRail from GWR now they're using IETs. Less route-training, more HST familiarisation. If they're not Express working then a class 2 could apply.

Arrives 0910. Departs 1000. Hope you see it in time and can get down there!

Sadly missed it by a few minutes. The hunt continues for another day. Thanks for the assistance though.

 

[High Dyke]

Thanks. The 471j one did run yesterday it came threw Stratford at 1016

Sorry for the delayed reply.

The 4L89 that departed Coatbridge on Monday 18/12/17 commenced its journey hauled by: 86612 / 86622 as far as Basford Hall. The train went forward to Felixstowe behind 66525. This is the working that passed through Stratford at 10:16 on Tuesday.

 

[High Dyke]

Hi,
Followed the forum for a while but first time posting,
Could anyone help with what was working 1E05 0858 Newcastle-Kings Cross (Cancelled between Edinburgh and Newcastle) with 43238 today please?
Thanks

43272 / 43238

 

[Triumph]

Could someone tell me what the units were on 2K59 1324 EUS-MKC today please. The rear one is in the new livery.

 

[Toad2017]

The 10:40 is no longer hauled since the timetable change. You asked for services out of Marylebone, which explains why the arrivals weren't posted. Why ask if you already know and/or are just going to contradict what has been said? The above diagrams posted by TT-ONR-NRN are correct for departing London Marylebone: all Chiltern 68 diagrams can be found in this post: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/frequently-requested-diagrams-thread.84997/#post-1478545

I was reading the above list for Marylebone and class 68's.

I went on real time and some don't match

1h33 on realtime shows it terminating at myb at 1431 pt3 but on the list on here it' saying term 1243 pt1

1h45 listed on here to term at 1443 pt4 but on real times the train is lisited term 1709 pt4

1h48 term 1540 not show on realtime

66132 was the other “EWS” 66 - this and 66184 are two of the ones GBRf have just bought from DBC.

66709/718 were also at P’boro first thing (05:15) this morning and 59003 is there too. May have been movements since then.

718 is the black London Transport Museum one, so you’d know that one if you saw it.

 

[Far north 37]

Excellent tim thanks a lot, yes i clocked 66718 66725 and 66765 i managed to id as well im sure i seen 66745 as well but it could well have been 59003 coupled up to 66132 and 66184 and a train of redland wagons looks like they were getting ready to be moved.

 

[Far north 37]

Couple more from today as well please if anyone can help

ews 66 coupled up to 66162 at the front of an engineers train south of kentish town approx 12.30 was to dirty to make out the number looked like it was just on rhtt work.

drs 66 coupled up to 66023 in york station about half an hour ago again too dirty to make out the number.

59003 is there for repair by the looks of TOPS so not sure it’ll be going anywhere.

66745 was showing as being at Tonbridge first thing this morning.

66119 and 66199 were listed as being at Kentish Town with 66162. 66119 was on the train with 66162 that arrived overnight from Toton so probably that.

66421 at York

Good afternoon everyone. Can anyone please advise on unscrambled headcodes for two workings yesterday. Both were captured passing through Monifieth and involved SBRail Switch and Crossover Tampers.
