Locomotive Services Fleet (LSL) updates

[chipbury]

I see there is an LSL outing from Crewe to Southampton on Friday 30th May, pathed as 95mph so probably not steam (3Z44 to Warminster, 1Z44 to Salisbury and 1Z45 to Southampton).

Does anybody know what it will be?

Cheers

Just seen through filton abbey wood looking spotless

Looks like a re-naming/dedication as the nameplate was covered.
Looked very nice.

Looks like some stuff going on around Warminster this next week

Seen it reported elsewhere as a few LSL Mk2s with 99993 and a BSK

Warminster is a pretty important place for the British Army so I guess the "Royal Artilleryman" will be rededicated

Thanks @Class15 Yes, I toyed with asking in the Non Urgent TOPs thread; I put it here for continuity of the topic. RTT data showed as "5 car" - which intrigued me. I had planned a drive to Romsey area ... until my dear wife announced she was off to the hairdressers.

As per SWR this evening:

Today with @NetworkRailWssx, we hosted the Royal Artillery @BritishArmy at Salisbury station for the rededication of the Royal Artilleryman locomotive.

Based locally at Larkhill, the regiment is one of the many @DefenceHQ units served by our network.

89001 has undergone testing. Last I heard was that it needs certification works (and possibly a few tweaks?) to be completed before it can become mainline operational.

Any further news on how the certification works are progressing? Very much looking forward to seeing it operational again.

Today's 1Z60 0521 Northampton-Kingswear appears to be unable to have a steam loco on the leg from Taunton. The relevant workings for the loco change have been cancelled, while the railtour arrived and left Taunton over 30 minutes early.

Apparently according to other sites 34046 failed it's ftr this morning so 40013 continued onwards but the concerns are if it's passed for kingswear or not

I would have thought 40013 would be lighter than a Castle or A4 and tender but perhaps on less axles. Just googled it an it seems a fully fuelled Castle and tender is about 127 tons on eight axles whereas a 40 is about 135 tons. An A4 however is about 167 tons on ten axles.
