Will be in PAD at the same time as 43185 which is country end on 1530 Bristol- PAD which will form 1752 PAD - Worcester.

43098 is partnered with 43185 on OC53.

Both unallocated this morning.

Might be 43098

To be honest it was dark and if 098 was on the back I couldn't remember if the back power car was green or not. But defiantly 43185 on the blocks end.

I saw 43185 at London end paired up with 43098 at Bristol end at London Paddington today. I think it was working 1C01 (?)

[co-tr-paul]

That's what this thread is for ! Cheers !

 

[Siemens Staines]

Given the significance of next weekend perhaps 43172 should be added to this list?

[PudseyBearHST]

43002 front power car of 2145 1C32 (hasn’t left yet so looks like it’s delayed)

It would be gratefully appreciated if any guys or gals out there could give any info on 43172 Harry patch for sunday or monday. I live in northants so a bit of a trek and not knowing where to go and when, all advice will be most welcome.

It might be worthwhile posting that request on the TOPS request thread:

https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ns-traction-etc-instructions-in-post-2.86602/

It should be pointed out that generally GWR HST Power Car allocations are only actually known on the day but if you find out where 43172 is finishing its diagram today then that might be a bit of a pointer for tomorrow.

@wilson

43172 - No Allocation.

 

[co-tr-paul]

Previously, it has been allocated on a service that's been at Pad for 1100 on Remembrance Sunday but not heard anything for this year.
002 pm SPM ?

 

[wilson]
