Freightliner Class 86s, 2016.

[JackJones125]

Somebody couldn't be a hero and drop me a list of the 'in service' Class 86s and what diagrams they tend to be on for Freightliner. Many thanks.

The 86/6s normally work all trains to/from Coatbridge,
but because of the blockage at Lamington those trains
are diverted via the G+SW and diesel-hauled.

This has led to the 86/6s being temporarily 'redeployed'
on services south of Crewe, although the exact diagrams
can vary from one day to the next, I'm afraid!

Two left Ipswich this morning on 10:46 but I didn't see which ones.

Bumping this up again-does anyone have diagrams for services which are normally 86-hauled on the southern half of the WCML?

Usually only 4L89 to Ipswich and 4M87 back to Trafford Park.

Last year, 4L92 Ditton to Ipswich and 4M42 return were often 86s too,
but that diagram is almost always a class 66 or 70 now.

What about the Tilbury-Crewe runs?

4M54 stopped running last year, I'm afraid.

There are overnight trains between Tilbury and Garston (4M60/4L80),
but they are diesel-hauled at present.

Those two are still booked for Electric Traction. Class 70s are standing in for Class 90s due to Sleeper Work for Freightliner Class 90s. These two have no alternative path via Ely.

Bumping this back up - Freightliner 86s do still work the southern section of the WCML.
The 1113 Felixstowe to Trafford Park was 2 x 86 yesterday (Friday 23-Sep) - photo taken at Tring.
Fairly sure I've seen this one operated by 2 x 86 a couple of times recently.
The one before it - 0932 Felixstowe to Crewe was a FLT 90

Felixstowe - Ditton (O'Connor) is quite regularly a double headed 86. 86609 is the worst one to get ticked off. Been looking for a year now for it...

Not great on numbers - 632 & 638 yesterday

I meant I still need it because it is hard to find it...

I'm pretty sure last month I saw 86 609 in the Arriva works yard at Crewe; don't know if it's still there but if it's not been out and about it might be.

Have you tried asking about it on the TOPS requests thread?

Not yet. Might do sometime soon. I'm sure I'll see it sooner or later in the coming months...

 

[DarloRich]

whatever FL is going north through MK at about 1600 on a weekday is a solid 86 turn.

 

[Tim R-T-C]

I'm still using a 2013 Platform 5 spotting book, it lists 86621, 33 and 35 as stored - based on pictures on Flickr, I take it these are now done for good? Are they still 'stored' or considered scrapped now?

That'll be the one in my photo at Tring - 1552 pass at Tring... comes from Felixstowe

621 was scrapped at Crewe LNWR in March '13, as were 633 and 635.

I'm 99% sure it was on LNWR (possibly in the shed, though there was one in the yard as well) when I left a unit there on Saturday.

86609 is at Garston this morning, arrived on 4M67 last night so it is out and about. It is not allocated to a train at the moment so can't tell what it's next working will be.

 

[50039]

86612 and 86637 today on Felixstowe to Trafford Park.

86612 looking a bit tired, but 86637 running in the updated Freightliner livery, and also with a different pantograph - does this suggest that Freightliner see a future for the 86s and are still investing in them??

Isn't that a Stones Faiverley pantograph? (older then the Brecknell Willis on the 86 at the front).

I'll be honest - I have no idea, I made an assumption that it must be newer, but that was based on nothing more than updated paint job...
