    GW 769s to Scotrail?

    The paths only go as far a Barassie Jn then back up the branch to Barclays, RTT doesn't show any other intermediate timing points because there are none. One of the sets is currently sitting half outside Caledonia works in unbranded Scotrail blue.

    "Two male youths, aged 17 and 13, have been arrested and charged in connection with fire-raising following station hotel fire". A 17 year old was charged with arson for the earlier fire, wonder if it's the same youth?

    Gents, thanks for the replies - I've had another look at a couple of weeks ago (16th) when it went east coast albeit from Kings Cross (couldn't find it earlier as I forgot it used a different headcode - 1S72) It only stopped at Carstairs for 4 mins (54 early arriving - 74 early leaving) and got...

However it's still booked to...

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    Brodies were not Hunslet Barclays. Wabtec have taken over the Barclays operation (aquired from Brush a number of years ago). Brodie Engineering built a purpose built depot across from the wabtec site in the former Network Rail Bonnyton sidings. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    156478 is still at Brodies no nearer to being back on the mainline it would seem however it's playing it's own version of the hokey cokey, seems to be constantly in and out the shed. Hopefully wont be too much longer now. Here's a link to a pic i took yesterday while out for 'The Ayr Apparent'...

    Lack of Settle-Carlisle line diversions these days

    Voyagers last ran via the GSW 13th & 24th of May last year. Route learners using the Polmadie thunderbird do still run occasionally but couldn't say when it last ran.
