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

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

What coaching stock is on 1Z44, 1Z45, 1Z46 today? Thanks.​

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. o_O

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.

Another stock move has ran today. Railfreight 57003 has spent the afternoon working Crewe to Kidderminster with 3 Mk2s, picking up 2 Mk3s heading to Eastleigh. Formation is rubbed down Mk2 FO 3312 in Statesman, Mk3s 42319 / 42583 in GWR Green and
Mk2 BUOs 9084 / 9809 in Caledonian Sleeper.

The 57 will return to Crewe tonight on a very late night move with the Green Deltic (55022).

Interesting. They seem to not be making brilliant use of the existing two. What might they need 90026 for?

Probably because Mr Hosking wants it. Why do they need 4 Class 20s or several Class 37s? The answer is they don't need them but they've got them anyway.

It’s in the operational pool (unless that is just the pool for all LSL locos regardless of condition?) and has an ‘N’ suggesting it is in normal working condition?
Click to expand...
LSL do have a storage pool aswell as an active pool

Or maybe (and this is very speculative) it could be for GWR, who I understand are interested in using a class 90 from LSL on the sleeper ECS (empty coaching stock) from Reading.

Still doesn't make sense considering how under-used 90001/2 are. Surely they could just lease one of those to GWR?
