    Potential future uses for class 68 & Mk5 sets?

    Personally I can't see DOO being signed off for LHCS. (Yes I know they do it in other countries, but this is England).

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    Anyone who has left it until the last week to have a bash is a fool. It was widely reported accross forums and social media that the week of the overtime ban would be a farce. I thankfully enjoyed my last run on Tuesday with 68030, totally veg-free.

    Chiltern loco-hauled sets on unbooked workings

    Yes, it does happen, very occasionally. What is more regular is normal unit diagrams being STP Mk3 sets for a specific day due to WCML closure, or football etc. I've had 68s on Princes Risborough shuttles, and the 2102 Stourbridge for example. A common one for football at the moment is the 1445...

    Not always, there are certain routes where two engines are required if the train is over a certain length. Also can be to transport an engine and save a light engine move. I've certainly had many tnt Re 460 trains.

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    CAF397, I can assure you that is out of date already. Correct restriction mentioned above by 68011.

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    Fitting silencers really seems like something that should/would have been done years ago if it could be done easily enough and without compromising performance. I expect the class the see occasional passenger work, but nothing regular or intensive enough to warrant fitment now. It would be far...

    What work at Stoke Marcroft? They go there all the time.
