**NEW LOCO** 68031 Felix working 1E37 1254 Liverpool to Scarborough. Just seen on time at York working with TPset04.

dan4291 · 29 Jan 2020

When are the Nova 3 sets due to start working to Middlesbrough? Have any been up there already for testing/training?

gledhill56 · 3 Feb 2020

Does anyone know which end of 1E29 the loco is at today please?

Jamesrob637 · 6 Feb 2020

1F52 0534 Scarborough - Liverpool Lime Street terminated at Manchester Victoria today as it's over half an hour late arriving.

59scot · 7 Feb 2020

Confirm that at least three of the four loco hauled diagrams listed above were in operation yesterday with locos 68.023, 68.025 and 68.027 observed. Absolutely no problems with timekeeping on the two trips I made from Leeds- Man Vic and return

nicolaboo · 12 Feb 2020

023/w7 on 1F64 - ex1134 Scar Liv {term ar Vic 35 late}
025/w6 on 1E37 - ex1254 Liv Scar {started at Vic}
1F66 is Nova3 (audible confirmation)

nicolaboo · 12 Feb 2020

021/e12 on (surely the most appropriate tpe diagram) 1F68 ex1634 Scar Liv
That's all four running currently*
*Last time I reported that, it went downhill quickly.

rg177 · 12 Feb 2020

That pieces things together well.

1134 ex-Scarborough indeed 68023
1234 ex-Scarborough was 68022

They aren't running services through Piccadilly as yet, other than at the start and end of some diagrams. Once they start on Redcar-Manchester Airport they'll be running through Castlefield and round the chord. For now, Victoria is the place to be as they're running on Liverpool to Scarborough services.

As mentioned, you will need to be up early or stay out late to catch them at Piccadilly.

1E23 0627 Manchester Piccadilly to Scarborough

1P92 1932 Scarborough-Manchester Airport (Piccadilly 2207)

1F60 0934 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street is cancelled as far as MCV due to a train fault. Presumably they’re getting a fresh set from Longsight.

Edit: There’s a unit coming from Ardwick (Probably a 185)

Late notice sickness, and yes it's now a 185(138).

Today's 1F60 started 10 down as 1156 Manchester Victoria to Liverpool Lime Street. Cancelled from Scarborough to Victoria. 185140 working it.

Good haul. Was that all was out or were there more which were wrong place wrong time for you?

Johneaton · 22 Feb 2020

Didn't see any more on my travels .. pretty new to this game ..worked out a move between Leeds Huddersfield stalybridge and Manchester from all the great information I get of this website .... really enjoy the class 68 ...
Only need 020 024 029 and 032

37201xoIM · 22 Feb 2020

Given there are only four diagrams at present (and they often don't all work, and rarely all day) you can count that as a reasonable success...

Are there any trains running today? All earlies from Scarborough seem to have not appeared.

Looks like only 68019 out with set 08. 1F52 and 1F54 are both cancelled from SCA. Starting at MCV (both with 185s) due to issues at SCA with a 68.

Maybe a schoolboy error in design of the new depot, whereby if the first unit fails then the second unit is trapped.

No, there’s a safety issue on depot and until it’s solved it’s job stopped.
