Thanks both.

Is it possible to confirm how many of the "Kirkdale" units are yet to enter passenger service? I believe it is 021, 027, 032 and 034 - is that right? TIA

That's really helpful - thank you both

Many thanks

Sorry to pop back up again, but I have two more renumbering dates that I am not sure about. When WD73799 was renumbered 90774 (I understand it was by October 1949, but I don't have the exact month) When Powlesland & Mason 0-4-0ST was renumbered from 696 to 1150 Thanks in anticipation.

59002 still in the same location at Leeds Midland Road yesterday

Many thanks for the 2-10-0 information. The 2-8-0's I have more detailed dates for (sourced from Railway Observers and SLS magazines) WD77171 to 90143 - March 1949 WD77226 to 90194 - September 1951 LNER (6)3173 to 90494 - September 1950 WD77481 to 90619 - May 1950 These may be of interest to...

I am trying to track down dates for the renumbering of some of the WD 2-10-0 from the WD to BR number series. The ones I am looking for are: WD73779/90755 - I know it entered BR service at Grangemouth depot in Feb 1949 WD73784/90760 - I know it entered BR service at Motherwell depot in Mar...

If anyone is interested, I overtook 153371 heading north on the M42 near Tamworth (on a low loader!) at around 12:10 last Monday. It was in unbranded LMR livery

IIRC, 4tph to Windsor was dropped in favour of retaining the through service between Weybridge and Waterloo via Hounslow. The two alternatives use the same paths between Staines and Waterloo via Hounslow.

Thanks

Many thanks

Is it known where in the "North" they are?

My records show 444 there as well. I think 431 was moved to Booths by road, but not 100% sure. I also have 409 and 432 still at Worksop, plus 402 at Millerhill. Updates welcome.

707020 and 707021 were being shunted around Clapham Yard this lunchtime in unbranded condition.

Many thanks. I note that all four coaches are owned by First rather than leased from Angel or Porterbrook. Seeing the storage of various coaches from different nominal formations begs the question as to whether there is an updated list of the trailer formations still in service - can anyone...

I passed 86612 and 86637 in convoy northbound on the M1 north of Nottingham today around 1045

Can anyone identify the specific trailers please? TIA

According to posts in these forums 153307, 153328 and 153352 were moved from Ely to Landore in 2022 and now belong to TfW 153317 was moved to Bristol Barton Hill in 2022 for conversion to a Network Rail inspection vehicle Did these moves not take place in the end?

The timing of my question is too ironic !
