37 667 Flopsie is on route training this week between London and Didcot. Travelled down from Crewe earlier in the week
More than likely providing carriage heating / shunting duties - don't forget that both 046 + 055 are at Eastleigh Works for further modifications at the moment.Somebody uploaded today a video onto Facebook of the Intercity power car before the Midland Pullman stock.

Speaking of Eastleigh Works, the GMPTE Pacer has exited the Paint shop :

We were asked this morning by the Chairman of the CFPS to close down this group. This is due to some comments that have been posted over the past few months causing concern to the CFPS and its operating partners.
The intention of this group from the outset was to encourage people to join the CFPS and where possible raise funds for the upkeep of three remarkable locomotives. Whilst in the main we have achieved that stated aim, It was never the intention for the page to be used to debate CFPS strategy and decision making.
It is therefore with regret that the group will go into archive from the 1st January 2022, allowing time for group members to have the opportunity to see this post. Many, many thanks for your support in recent times, especially those who are now fellow members of the CFPS.
That's a pity. I wonder whether the perpetrators travelled down from Manchester specially. Previous court cases have involved 'tag artists' travelling the length and breadth of the country by car with all their paints and other equipment in the boot. Doesn't say much for the security at Eastleigh Works.GMPTE livery 142003 at Eastleigh Works has been attacked by graffiti artists

Artists? These people who carry out graffiti are certainly not artists! They are simply mindless vandals who have no respect for the property of others.GMPTE livery 142003 at Eastleigh Works has been attacked by graffiti artists

This is (allegedly) the DRS Class 20s 20302 and 20305, plus DRS 37 37067 (37703) heading to Crewe, in convoy with either additional 20s or 37s. DRS have apparently sold the 'Choppers' to LSL.
The accuracy of Facebook gen will be tested on Friday!
The convoy of four 20s plus 37703 ran today. 37703 is apparently going to Harry Needles rather than joining the LSL fleet.
Yeah that was my first port of call!Railway Herald tour info says TBC..
So the "artists" (in the loosest terms) gain access to Eastleigh where their is a multitude of units stored, purely to attack a GM liveried 142?Artists? These people who carry out graffiti are certainly not artists! They are simply mindless vandals who have no respect for the property of others.

Why the 142?
Because they want their work photographed and shared without them having to do it themselves. I actually believe it is part of their 'game' as they compete with the like minded idiots who think it is ok to damage other people's property in this way to see who can get their 'work' shared and viewed the most. They know the shiny looking trains will garner the most interest compared to ones falling apart on the scrap line and every time someone in the enthusiast community shares the photo, it is a win for the cretin who caused the damageSo the "artists" (in the loosest terms) gain access to Eastleigh where their is a multitude of units stored, purely to attack a GM liveried 142?

Morning, I see the LSL are providing traction for the Settle & Carlisle circular on Saturday.
Does anyone know what 47s are allocated to it please?
Morning, just wanted to bump this to see if anyone knows what traction is allocated to it tomorrow
Is this a closed group? I’ve never heard of it before!Still nothing I'm afraid and usually see something on the Cl47 WhatsApp group by now.

Understood and thank you for the info.It's not my group and is closed. They ain't keen on new joiners either due to people who've clicked send before thinking what they type on too many occasions. The main admin can be a real grump too and barely speak to him these days so it's not worth me trying to get more people onto it sadly. Most of the posts on there are just GBRF emu drag allocations so I've got it set not to receive notifications any more (just check occasionally). Many people stopped posting too now as there's a tendancy for a few on there to jump on anyone who posts anything that turns out to not be true or they disagree with.
593 and 810 just confirmed on the unfriendly ish WhatsApp group!
