Yes. Locomotives can either top n tail out off the sidings. And then haul to Kingsbury . Via Burton on Trent and Tamworth and then at kingsbury sidings one locomotive comes off and the other just pushes them in.Its awfully easy to get to EMR Kingsbury from those sidings....

Interesting news. Don't suppose there is any idea what the diagrams from May will be? Looking to arrange a visit so might wait until May if they are better diagrams.Fair enough....there is apparently another move planned for tomorrow......
No, there is booked working for them as 8 car sets in the May timetable.....three 8 car circuits per day utilising six of nine remaining units.
Again nice to see 57310 and 319216 and 319460 through berkswell on it's way to Burton Wetmore sidings in burton on Trent for storage.57310 came for another visit today and departed with 319216 and 319460….

ISTR Orion were having ten 768s and nine 326s when they announced the project, AFAIK two 768s and a single 326 have been converted so farParcels. The usual routine is you get some vinyls stuck on, get some PR in a tame rail mag, do a trial run and then scrap the trains anyway.
Ah right ok.No, we can be very confident that no further 769 conversions will happen. The production line is now closed.
Any ideas to what happened to the ROG Parcel service? It stopped all of a sudden.Parcels. The usual routine is you get some vinyls stuck on, get some PR in a tame rail mag, do a trial run and then scrap the trains anyway.
No idea. I don’t think any of the dedicated threads about parcels trials explain exactly why either. I just assume despite the hype they’re not competitive?Ah right ok.

I assume that current electricity & diesel prices wipe out the thin margins available for this type of work.Ah right ok.

Oh right ok. Guess time will tell on this one as nobody is really sure about it.No idea. I don’t think any of the dedicated threads about parcels trials explain exactly why either. I just assume despite the hype they’re not competitive?
Maybe. Like I said time will tell on this one.I assume that current electricity & diesel prices wipe out the thin margins available for this type of work.

Apologies I see above someone else has.Thanks. 217?
Bit of a OOPS moment thereI think you mean 218 rather than 018?
Do you have a link to the pictures please?Seen pictures taken this morning of a Northern 319 being broken up at Sims Newport... Anyone happen to know which one this is?
They're in the 'Railways of South Wales' group on Facebook, taken from onboard a ship entering or exiting the docks. I would share the images on here, but am reluctant to without the owners consent.Do you have a link to the pictures please?
Seen a photo of a cab car from 319374 on a low loader on a motorway.319374 I think I seen on facebook ?
Happy to be corrected
One DTSO vehicle was taken away for scrapping it would seem having seen a TikTok of it. I'll mark it on the list as scrapped.Appears that the stripping and eventual scrapping of 319218 has started at Burton Nemesis.

I am certain that the morning peak diagram still runs as you noted. Not sure of the evening, a set can appear on 2N73 or 2K29.That seems to have changed as 2J95 and 2J96 do not run any more.
