Would someone be able to kindly assist me with the ScotRail workings 158712 did today, specifically between 1800 and 2100?

It appeared to go from Aberdeen P6N to P2 and back without appearing on Real-time Trains.

Thanks

Bit of a variety from today (Thu 8th). Any ideas, please? I was out in the heat in GW-territory...

1. Current trailer formations/numbers of GW "Castle" sets GW03, GW15 and GW16 that were all out today.

2. Ditto for Cross-Country sets XC02 and XC03.

3. Vehicle numbers of the barrier coach, three HST trailers and (dead) power car on 5L46 0957 Laira - Ely Papworth.

4. Units numbers of the two TfW 756s on test on 3Q33 1240 Newport - Swindon.

5. The three 66s on 6M50 1040 Westbury - Bescot.

6. the two 68s and the number of the two nuclear flask wagons on 6M67 1408 Bridgwater - Crewe.

Think that's the lot. Thanks as ever.

Those are all of your requests that I could find on Railcam, someone with TOPS will presumably now fill in the rest!

Many, many thanks to class 15 and beasty Rhys; between you, you got most of the info. Really appreciate it.

There seems to be a slight difference of opinion on the 68s on the Bridgwater - Crewe, but I'll sort that out.

Numbers of the TfW unts currently being tested between Newport and Swindon, seem to be more elusive to track down.

My mistake on the 68's, it was 68005 and 68009, was still half asleep

Cheers again, Rhys for all your help, so freely given. And "Topper" for confirming the wagons.

And here's said train passing Filton.P1480158 (2).JPG

Awesome thanks Rhys!

Would you also happen to know if a DB 66 was sandwiched in the middle of:
6V00 1214 Newhaven Day Aggs (Flhh) to Willesden S.W.S.?

We passed it quickly and I couldn't tell

Most likely to be a 325 drag, they are dragged to Toton usually for attention on the wheel lathe
