Good summary here. https://www.railfreight.com/railfreight/2020/08/20/london-thamesport-flushed-to-receive-first-train-for-tideway-east/

Concrete sections for the mega sewer are being made in Tallington DB have the contract to deliver them. they dropped off some wagons at Tallington last month as per photos on Flickr. Dont know if any service has ran to Tallington to Thamesport yet.

I was assuming that Porterbrook would be responsible for delivery.

I take it GBRF have the GWR 769 delivery contract which seems odd as ROG had the TFW and Northen gigs.

According to well placed Feight sources on another forum WCR are operating this on behalf of Colas which makes a lot of since as Colas regulary hire drivers from WCR. And Colas operate all the other timbet trains.

Sail Rail tickets issued in Ireland. i.e. Rosslare Harbour to Cardiff. Or Dublin Port to Chester. Do these count in the Fishguard Hbr or Holyhead stats?

I know the Caledonian sleeper stock stabled there once or twice before due to engineering work blocking access to Polmadie Depot

Seen on Flickr 3×397 will now be temporarily stored at Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.

Yes. it is great to see progress in the new fleet arriving.

Thanks very much for explaining it.

Reading the well put together diagramas above can someone answer this re ECS trains to and from Barton Under Needwood. Is there a depot/ecs drivers grade that drives voyagers ECS to Crewe/Chester, New Street and Euston or do Virgin drivers book on at Barton Under Needwood? Thanks for any replies.

I didnt know Barry was only closed at night but my points still stands tfw has a lower unit requirement this week and is still cannot resource the daily diagrams. Presumably waiting for wheelsets for pacers as production had stopped is one of the issues.

There are 14 full cancellations and 5 part cancellations listed on tfw journeycheck for tomorrow all down to more trains than usual needing repairs which is pretty normal for leaf fall season but this week 3 different routes are closed with bus replacement. Conwy valley, Milford Haven branch...

Plenty of them on the highland mainline couldnt name them all. Anyway its clawed back 11 mins to 40 late.

All looked to he going fairly well on this mornings sleepers but 1s25 northbound Highlander to Inverness has just hone gone from 16L at Blair Atholl to 51L at Dalwhinnie
