Ooooooft. Thanks for this info - but i stupidly didn't check this site yesterday and have indeed missed it. Is it likely to be the loco used tonight to go back to London - or would i be best to go to Penzance and try to see it on depot today?
Thanks for helping an old guy out.

Just read the full thread and realised 57 602 was a bit sick last night.
looks like it has only just arrived in Penzance at 11:02.......?
Assuming it wasn't taken off somewhere along the route and dumped in the bushes.
If someone would be kind enough to confirm if it made it please - i think my best bet would be to go to Penzance as it may be a while before they trust it "up front" again and i am only in Cornwall till Monday.
47 337 - still trying it's best to frustrate me.

57602 arrived at Penzance with 57604 on the front. Failed at Langport son 57604 sent from Reading to assis on rear to Taunton where it ran round and both locos arrived on the front at Penzance.
After the seriously delayed Penzance to London HST in August 5 years ago (11:00 service I think) which thankfully I wasn't on, you'd have thought a repeat of a 5-hour delay would never ever happen again. Even Mark Hopwood said it's not acceptable to delay passengers that long, yet it's happened again.
I feel sorry for the passengers who were traveling to the stations the sleeper service isn't calling at - to wait for around 5 hours and then be told that it's skipping stops basically is really unfair to those travelling to the cancelled stops.
However, I guess it's not that simple to arrange for a replacement train in the early hours. I'm surprised I've not read this on Twitter.
So when were the extra 16 Duffs built?all 528 Class 47's
Stuart, I shall show your post to "his boss" when I'm back in on Friday ! Cheers.
That will be good and I'm guessing it will be on a bank holidayOpen day next Easter...... .
I can't wait for it cause when I always pass the depot I'm like they should do a open dayIt was not the depot manager but the person in charge of the shift + shan't mention names on here ! The guard has a personality !!
