I assume by publicised, he means becoming known about amongst enthusiast circles like these sorts of things usually do. As for CS, they only advised me (and presumably other unsuspecting customers) of the anti-social alarm call two days ago.I don't think it has gone any further than allusions on forums, let alone being publicised.

Mildly. It's not uncommon for northbound trains to use the sub when there's engineering work between the north end of Waverly and Haymarket.[Travelling via the sub is] interesting to me and I'm sure many others on a railway forum.
And what is the interesting traction?And it isn't just the route that is interesting.
Because it feeds off the Lowlander which is 1S72Why is it re-numbered 1Z72 rather than 1A25 on Monday morning?
Deltic maybe??Mildly. It's not uncommon for northbound trains to use the sub when there's engineering work between the north end of Waverly and Haymarket.

Yes, and those trains don't use almost any of the track that this one will, going in the other direction and towards Dalmeny! I've just remembered why I prefer the 'other' railway forum. As for the traction, I can't say, but it will require two drivers as it can't multi with the 73. It will also be on load two, with the two sleeping cars left in Clayhills last night.Mildly.

It’ll be the stock brought from Aberdeen last night, 1 lounge and 1 seated coach. I can’t say what the traction is either although it should become pretty obvious soon enoughYes, and those trains don't use almost any of the track that this one will, going in the other direction and towards Dalmeny!

Yep, 73967 brought just those two coaches in last night, also via the sub. Presumably to counteract the run via the sub Monday morning in terms of orientation.It’ll be the stock brought from Aberdeen last night, 1 lounge and 1 seated coach.

Like we both said, we can’t say what the traction is. Again, it will become relatively obvious soon enough though. The Aberdeen portion fully sold out ages ago anyway.So when are you lot going to actually stop beating around the bush and tell us what's working it? Interesting is a vague term, and to be honest it's not like telling everyone a 47 (for example) is going to work it will mean we all rush to book travel. I'd imagine most of us can't afford to book one of the limited berths at this short notice anyway!
Presumably because there is no guarantee that the rumours are actually going to play out. I'd expect there to already be a STP path in RTT from another location to Millerhall or Craigentinny if something is going to be used that isn't already there.So why the secrecy?
Well whatever was meant to move from Kingmoor to Millerhill on the RTT link didn't happen (and there is no move from Bo'ness either).Well if its 37422 I think we an all relax, I was hoping for something more glam than that
How would a 37 couple to the CS coaches if it doesn't have a Dellner coupling?The path, presumably for 37403, has now appeared on RTT, as a Caledonian Sleeper working.
A 73 inbetween them...How would a 37 couple to the CS coaches if it doesn't have a Dellner coupling?
That's what I thought, but I've seen no mention of it in the last several posts.A 73 inbetween them...
I understand its going to be working with a 73 on the morning Aberdeen tomorrow morning to test possible usage in future as a rescue loco.That's what I thought, but I've seen no mention of it in the last several posts.
Anybody know what happened with 1M16 last night. Seems it was delayed in Edinburgh for an hour or so. I'm on it tonight and just hoping there's no consequential issues.
But the formation was two class 92s at the front. Does that mean a spare 92 was being sent North ?.
Ahh I see it was not the normal WCML route.No that's just the top and tailing from Euston to Wembley. RTT does not show a 92 at both ends which I assume is due to a system limitation.
Ahh I see it was not normal WCML route.
1M16 is the southbound.The screens at Euston last night showed the 21:30 to Glasgow & Edinburgh as delayed departure. The platform gates were closed by 21:40 though !. RTT shows it leaving at 22:13 but arriving Glasgow OT. But the formation was two class 92s at the front. Does that mean a spare 92 was being sent North perhaps for 1M16 ?.
We really will have come full circle if thats true. I've noticed the talk (read: rumours) of 67s coming up to help the 73s has also seemingly died off.Here's that 37 to Aberdeen. I've read elsewhere that part of the test was to see if the 37/4 could provide ETS for 4 coaches (with the 73 there only as a translator vehicle) and this was successful. Don't know if that's accurate.
