Hi, Can anyone help with which 700/1 unit was working 9T13 07:18 Bedford to Brighton this (Monday) morning, please? I seem to have managed to delete my note of which one it was.

Thanks.

Tracing it back through RTT, I find it was earlier the 12.46 from Reading to Paddington, which I was on! It was 800 304.

Caveat: This assumes there were no set swaps which went unrecorded on RTT.

No it was nine cars so I agree with you. It was dark so I couldn’t read the number.

I've been asked which locos did this mornings

0103 Crewe Coal Sidings (Drs) to Dungeness British Energy.

What will be the headcode of the return 1629 Dungeness British Energy to Crewe Coal Sidings (Drs)

Thanks

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm what was on this?

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H41003/2018/11/06/advanced

I think I saw 66113 and I'm guessing it would've been 92036?

Thanks :)

Based on this information from @TimboM on the Caledonian Sleeper 92s thread it is highly likely that it was 92036 unless there was any late change of plan

92036 (currently at Crewe; and did work the Sleeper at least once ;)) is showing as NEXT 0A06 on TOPS, so may be on the move south in the next day or two.

0A06 is the correct headcode for the path you linked on RTT. Unfortunately I was busy and unable to get out to see it for myself which is even more annoying because I need the 66 for sight as well <(

Just had confirmation from a couple of guys at Stafford that they saw 92036 pass through earlier :)

Was it your last one? You have all 115 now? I only need 700 051 myself... as you might have gathered from my earlier posts! :smile:
Yes, its been eluding me. I was concentrating on Blackfriars for the Sevenoaks shuttle and Sutton loop as I mainly needed RLUs. East Croydon sees very few RLUs. Three hours sees EVERYTHING repeat at Blackfriars but I suspect plenty of 700s are spending the day on the Kings Cross side. I have been visiting Blackfriars whenever passing through/near but most visits were less than three hours and a waste of time really. But, in the end, it took 45 minutes !. Thanks.

Hi all,

Today (06/11), the 20:03 Paddington to Plymouth was started from Exeter and reportedly ran as 4 coaches instead of 10. Can anyone confirm if 2x Pacer covered for 2x80x?

Thanks.

Thanks for the speedy response. Still quite a novelty!

It’s in connection with the Sea Wall closure 0000 - 1200 Weds. Additional sprinter traction required West of the block for service Weds and preferred not to have 802s wrong side of the block if it all goes really pear-shaped as they only have a few dozen hours before they have to be back in a Hitachi Maintenance facility for exam.
