Thank you. Just had a look myself for future planning purposes. Something to think about...

Has Freightliner stopped running loaded jumbo trains to Acton Yard for splitting and forwarding to the London terminals now? I have been looking on RTT for 6/7A09 and can only find the empty jumbos from Wembley heading back to the Mendips.

It appears Tug 15 has blown it's turbo. Another one bites the dust.

Good morning. Does anyone know if 171808 and 466011 are allocated today? Many thanks Rick.

And now the Newark thunderbird is on the move to Retford to drag the boat South. If its the Duff 47848 again then it's had a very busy three days rescuing stuff.

FLUD and WATR in different blocks are two that spring to mind from earlier this year in the Yorkshire area during some line closures due to been under water.

Thank you Rhysdabeast for the 171s

Hello is there any allocations available for any of these today? 171728, 171808, 377512 and 466011. Thank you Rick.

Hello all. I am heading down to London today and was wondering if anyone could help with any allocations for 171728, 171808, 377512 and 466011? Thank you Rick.

Has been talked about on TPE Facebook groups for a good month now. What an absolute kick in the nuts to the south route crews that has been through it all. The only upside is that two of the missing services have been reinstated from September. July 27 is quoted as the last day.

Correct until July 28th when locohaul out of Cleethorpes will once again come to an end.

Because TransPennine have a habit of cancelling services leaving 6car 185s occupying platforms. That has had the knock on effect of them having to cancel Cleethorpes bound serves as far east as Scunthorpe then bussing passengers onwards. Also the 68 and mk5 training set ties up a platform all...

I've read elsewhere it's failed, don't know exactly what has broken on it though.

Apparently the 37 overheated and shut down.

I did wonder if that was the case. Is it still just two sets of stock that's currently fit for traffic? Is there any power cars that are stopped and never to return?
