055 back past just now, Angerstein to Scunthorpe, sounding a bit odd like the power was continuously coming and going but I'm no expert.

Could it have been a touch of wheelslip? it was raining down here on the sunny riviera last night maybe you had the pleasure in London as well, 6Z41 was a few minutes late as far as Hither Green and then early all the way to Scunthorpe, it's back at Willesden tonight on 1604 6Z42

60046 is due back at Willesden from Eastleigh in the morning and then either it or 055 is currently scheduled for a trip to Westbury

Maybe a total coincidence but 60055 ran as 1202 0Z60 Willesden to Toton TMD today, someone on se-gen described it as "... with square wheels ..."

60046 worked 0749 6Z90 Southampton Up Yard to Westbury Down TC and 1615 6Z91 return to Southampton

An Angerstein Wharf to Scunthorpe is running tonight, in the normal path, but with a DB 66 on the front. I remain confused about whether there are two separate flows going on here, with one worked by DCR and the other not, or whether it's basically the same service.

Yes indeed, 56103 working 1040 0Z35 Leicester LIP to WEFOC to collect 35 new JNA wagons, then 1440 4Z35 to Humberstone Road to split the load and 1758 4Z20 to Chaddesden with the remainder

60046 worked 0815 0Z60 Southampton UY to Eastleigh round trip then 0915 6Z90 to Willesden

60055 in the wars today with 0012 Kingmoor to Humberstone Road, after losing time, reportedly with low power, it had to be rescued by DBC 66149 and made Leicester 137 down, then late running 1508 6Z23 to Chaddesden, a further late running 1700 0F54 to Toton TMD presumably consisted of both locos
