When will the next workings up north be? I'm down Hampshire way for a while and I'd like to see if I can get one of the scrap moves.
Nothing, as yet, inputted into the system for this week.When will the next workings up north be? I'm down Hampshire way for a while and I'd like to see if I can get one of the scrap moves.
So the locos are being dragged by other locos?It'll be the locos travelling to Bournemouth. They're being dragged by diesel locos, not running on their own power.
442403 & 442409 according to RailcamHere's today's first scrap move.
Anyone know the 442 numbers? I took photos but annoyingly none of them got the unit numbers in focus.
2420 from Wolverton. 2409 left behind.I believe that was from U.2416 at Wolverton according to my mate who lives in the vicinity and saw it leave on a low loader.
Today there is 5Q81 0422 Bournemouth Depot to Wolverton Centre Sidings 66703/10 442 (Unsure which units are going)/73201/119.
Thanks for the gen, appreciate it.2420 from Wolverton. 2409 left behind.
Must have been the same one we saw near Slough, on an Allelys loader. Can only assume it was Newport boundLast Friday AM saw a driving coach from a 442 on the back of a lorry on the M4 around J19 for Bristol, heading West ,wonder if it's for scrap
I love the peaceful nature of it all before and after. I take it you hard a tripod?Here's today's first scrap move.

Best place for them. Get the job done and over with.I feel sorry for stock going to Sims Newport. They get the most violent of deaths. I did indeed have a tripod, and was holding my SLR (you can hear me take a few photos as the train comes into view).
No worries, thanks!There are workings between Eastleigh East Yard and Bournemouth Depot every day this week.
U.2420 + 66703/73119/201 are in Eastleigh East Yard waiting to move down to Bournemouth Depot.
My mate suggests next move will be on Thursday with U.2404 and either U.2410 or U.2420 as brake force.
I'm pretty sure whatever data is sent to RTT from its various feeder systems is automatically posted in RTT as soon as it's received, so it's more likely that the operator of the train decided to cancel the train some time after its scheduled departure time. Not RTT's fault! This could have been for a number of reasons, eg perhaps a fault / issue was discovered prior to departure, which it was hoped could be fixed to enable the train to run, but it later became apparent that the fault / issue couldn't be quickly fixed and so the train was cancelled, albeit some time after the intended departure.what happened to the run yesterday? as went to branksome specially and it never turned up, waited from 7 to 830 (as dont have access to the internet so guessed it might be late) so wasted my time, wont be doing that again will just see it locally instead
edit - just saw it got canceled, but as ive said before and ill say again, it appears these trains dont get canceled on rtt till the time theyre supposed to get to their destination as it was still showing up as running before so are the rest of them going to be the same? just so i dont waste my time
