...it went past Westbourne Road Jnc at 1304 (1 Early). Must've encountered some issue, as was not timed passing Camden Rd East Jnc until 1637 (189L / 3 hours 9 mins Late). So at 1443 it was sat stationary somewhere near Camden Road (as it did for over 3 hours it would appear).

Please would anyone know what 707 015 is doing after 18.30 today? I'm at a meeting in London and might have a chance if it's around Waterloo at that time...

Can someone tell me what this was?
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U10501/2018/04/19/advanced

Saw it zip past my train between Northampton and Long Buckby. Looked to be some kind of rolling stock empty move, but nothing I recognized!

Would anyone know what this is ?

Probably a 67 as a route Learner/refresher for potential East Coast drags.
It comes back at 1823 from Carlisle

depends how rigid your 1830 is.
it is on the 1827 Waterloo - Waterloo via RMD/WIM
then
2003 Waterloo-Waterloo via WIM/RMD

Might just be able to get that - as long as the meeting finishes on time...

Just to confirm is that the 2K53 off platform 4?

Just say you have a dental appointment.
Meetings never finish on time, there's always one person that starts a conversation in the last 60 seconds

Thank you; will advise on the result later.

Just for reference, which locos will likely feature on tonight's lowlander towards Edinburgh?

Thanks

Should be 90046 on 1S26 as this brought down 1M11 last night. The alternative would be 92010 which brought down 1M16 last night.
1B26 Edinburgh portion from Carstairs should be 90043.

Ta, sadly all 3 are duds for me

Is it still 68006 & 68016 on the Fife Loco Hauled sets?

Both were shown as being under genius control earlier so possibly.

Good news

Fingers crossed the sleeper arrives into Edinburgh tomorrow on time so I can make a +12 onto a service towards Inverkeithing to intercept it (failing that it will be a Haymarket - Edinburgh leap seeing as the service levels at South Gyle decreased when Edinburgh Gateway opened).

Thank you both! I thought it was 67s, but glad to have it confirmed!

Hi, could anyone tell me what the formation and locos are on this service please. Unfortunately I don't know the real head code as I only use real time trains.

Many thanks

Couldn't reach the end of the platform at Euston* to ID if it is indeed 90046 leading the lowlander tonight. Can someone confirm it please?

(*Caught up in a traffic jam when on a bus from Bow)

(It wasn't 92010 as that must have worked the Highlander as it was sat in Edinburgh)

37422 and 37425 with 'Caroline' - picture here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/allan5819/39757565030

Unfortunately I don't know the real head code as I only use real time trains.

For reference, the headcode was 2Z01, although because it ran as a vSTP,
RTT actually showed the correct headcode (under 'identity') on this occasion!
