http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/C56018/2012/10/25 Just came across this on OTT. Is this normal, as I'm not aware of this service.
Technical tab in OP link said:Runs: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from Tuesday 13th December 2011 to Thursday 6th December 2012
Looks like an ECS move or similar. The Technical tab will tell you all you need to know - also to the best of my knowledge passenger services can't enter Good Loops (like it's booked to at Skew Bridge (Preston)), which is a slight give away

Looks like a Voyager too.
Why does a light engine or ECS move wind you up? That must be one of the most bizarre suggestions I've ever read.So it isn't. Mind though, given that ECSs like this wind me up, couldn't a passenger service be made out of this, without the wait at Hellifield?</myoldself>
It's not hauling anything!It's 75mph though. I understand that that may be the speed limit but it could be a 57 as it's diesel hauled.
ryan125hst is right, and the headcode is a giveaway!

0A99 on the other hand has never run.
You'd need a guard, and a safety case, and you'd need to have firm timings. They may not run at precise times and can run early/late. What if the vehicle isn't ready to go to/from Wabtec? ECS trains have to exist as empties for many good reasons. If you know it's ridiculous, why say it?It just drives me around the bend knowing that ECS moves go from say, Greater Anglia land to Doncaster Wabtec, surely they could allow passengers on as ridiculous as it sounds?

Fair enough, I don't want to sound too critical, but some things are best looked up and, if possible, run through a 'common sense check' firstI'd rather say stupid things to learn from my mistakes than not say at all.
