What time was the Pullman (VSOE) and was it today's working or yesterday? Headcode is usually 1Zxx

Also, if you're in that neck of the woods, VSTP paths have gone in for the 'beer train' (usually runs early Saturday morning). Two alternative paths, the first one was manually Activated, second one auto-activated. A GB Shed is just on its way down from Tondbridge (not sure which one). Also a 92 may or may not be tucked inside on this.

Running on the 4B20 path and 66764 the loco I believe.

Pullman was 1Z30 to Ashford, 1Z31 back to Victoria. I assume it was the two VSOE/Pullman-liveried 67s on it? (67021 + 67024)?

Thank you! Correct 66764 and 92043. Past Nunhead at 15:34 did the 92 fail?

And yes both Vsoe 67’s looking very smart!

92043 won't have failed - it's a 66-hauled working currently, but it's also used to bring the 92s back up to Wembley (then Willesden) if needed (e.g. for the Sleeper). Due to the weight of the train, 92044 and 92043 will have hauled it through the tunnel in multi, then 92044 will have been taken off and 66764 put on top of 92043 for the onward working to Wembley.

UPDATE: 92043 straight onto the Sleeper... (5S95 Highlander ECS then 1S26 Lowlander)

Afternoon all, sorry to be a pest! Does anyone happen to know what the 2 ATW Pacers are on 2G57 (the 1619 Cheltenham-Cardiff service)? Saw them pass my train just now.

Hi, off my travels again.

Can anyone let me know what type of unit is supposed to work the following (1x158,2x170 - that sort of thing)

1A50 1057 INV - ABD

1H29 1013 ABD - INV

1A30 1020 VIC - BTN

1H41 1514 LIT - VIC

And the ABD portion of the sleeper. Is it 73/9 or 67 at the moment?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Caleb

ABD portion is a 73/9 currently and likely to be in the near future at least (73967 did it last night).
Had two on it last week (969 + 971) but back to one loco this week...

You're welcome. Will probably be 967 still, if not 966. 969 and 971 are both on "X" at Craigentinny, 968 is at Polmadie Mk5 testing and 970 still in Brush for CAF mods etc.
