The 87 flew through Bletchley pulling the sleeper this morning looking in fantastic nick!

Not sure where you've read that, but it's premature at best.

In the latest issue of "Railways Illustrated" iirc
I'd hope this is a nice cash bonus for the owners of 87002.

002 1S25.
Not as though I'm desperate or anyting...

depends what the terms of the contract are for the hire of the 87 ..... i'd have thought it unlikely as I'd assume it's for GBRf to determine how and when the loco is used, and it's not on a 'pay-per mile' basis. it maybe a preserved loco, but this is hard business!
Yeah - that's where I read it.

S26 in trouble, 92028 burst at Colwich. Its not shown as moving yet although 66610 reported as on the front by 0500 so surely its limped forward, youd hope so...

Last reported 02:12 at Rugeley, no further reports. Surely it's not still there

Well fifteen minutes ago they said on Twitter that they don't have an estimate of when it will get moving. Some poor lass and her parent have posted on there about it as they are going to a funeral. By the looks of it the train hasn't moved.

Eek! What happened to the 66 that was meant to help it? And why don't they get 86101 down from Willesden?
Hmm, 92028 - that will breed trepidation into anyone who sees that at the front of their sleeper train after last Tuesday night's effort and then this.
Is this its first time out on the sleeper again after whatever repair it needed from last week?

Reported passing Stafford 2 hours after it should have arrived in Glasgow
Loco change at Crewe? There appears to be another loco sat in P12 waiting.
Edit*
Maybe not, FL 66 is on the front, you can watch it unfold on the Crewe railcam, Crewe Cam 1 is one of the freely available ones and is pointing directly at the train now.

I would hope they let people bail out at Crewe and get on a Virgin?
Not 100% sure, but it looks as though they may be getting ready to switch to another 92 from the siding alongside.

One Virgin just departed, hopefully some have managed to continue their journey on there.

Can only assume it goes no further now, it seems that passengers were advised on board to catch the 1009 Virgin service from Crewe according to the Adam Boulton's Twitter.

Failed 92 has now been detached and dragged out of the way. 90037 (I think) now attaching to the sleeper stock.

There is now a schedule for a 5S26 11:35 Crewe to Polmadie but it does not appear to have left yet.

Assuming it's this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O91479/2015/04/23/advanced It appears to still not have left. Can anyone confirm?
Just left Crewe

74 minutes late! At this rate, it might get to Scotland in time for tomorrows sleeper.

Serco partnered with GB, someone else partnered with DBS.
New stock needs 92s, simple as that. They will just take some time to shake down. What's wrong with the 73s?
Lot's of people sat in arm chairs devoid of facts and/or experience.
90s and 67s also fail. I really don't see the issue.
Surely the difference with the 73s is that they will be fresh from overhaul when they start to be used whereas 92028 is not one of the engines which GBRf have put through Loughborough. Have 92018 or 92033 had significant failures yet?
