Foxton Exchange Sidings

[ExRes]

I notice that both RTT and Rail Record are showing a few DCR services to Foxton next week, namely 0845 0Z60 on monday, 0900 & 1600 from WEFOC on tuesday and 0900 from WEFOC on wednesday, the one thing that's missing is any detail of the return trips from Foxton, is anyone aware of whether that info has simply not been uploaded to the systems yet or if the return trips are classified as originating from somewhere else?

Thanks

Return put in today at 1400. Inbound working didn’t run however. There is later arrival in there now.

Spoil from crossrail .
I think there should be several trip workings in the system from Wembley to Willesden F sidings where the train is loaded.( or at least it used to)

Every probability that it is for Crossrail spoil although it's worth a tiny bit of speculation that Cappagh ownership may have produced other spoil sources, from what I can make of it there are now quite strict environmental rules on the Barrington site that have stopped older locos, like the 56s that DCR used to use to this destination, whereas the 60s meet the noise level requirements

These are route learning turns. Given that the Crossrail tunnels are all dug I can’t imagine there is much spoil from Crossrail, and that went to form a new nature reserve on the Thames Estuary. Maybe it is HS2 spoil.
