Future Of Caledonian Sleeper Class 86s/87

[50039]

I've noticed a LSL Eastleigh Arlington to Crewe path on RTT for Thursday 23rd, so could there be the possibility that 86101 is finally heading north?

There was a Crewe to Eastleigh move today of 90001/2 from what I can see on the railcams... maybe just the 47 that took them down returning?

If what I've just read is correct, it should be 47805, 86101 and a Mk2 coach on the 5Z37. Fingers crossed thats right

I can also confirm that. I just caught it on my daily exercise.

47805 + 86101 | 5Z37 At Milton Malsor 23/04/20

47805 'Roger Hosking MA' leads freshly repainted 86101 'Sir William A Stanier F R S' and Mk2 5366 past Milton Malsor, working the 5Z37 1556 Eastleigh Arlington (Zg) to Crewe H.S. This went via its booked route along the Northampton Loop rather than the mainlines despite it having a clear run...
