LSL have bought a class 50 i hear, dunno which one but I could have a guess at the one that was up for sale last year
Got to be fair the pick up at Birmingham int is a bit confusing,is it running round or T&T with a reversal?The Peak tour on July 27th (Bristol-Duffield/Chesterfield) has now been advertised.

I think the pick-up there may be incorrect.
50050 is being collected from Colwick today

Thats exciting! Would be great to see that loco back on tours.
Here's the RTT link for anyone's interest. She's being hauled by the green choppers

Posted several hours ago in post #667. Also, I wouldn't assume 45118 has been 'fixed' or is yet ready for traffic just because it's been advertised as traction for a tour in almost 5 months' time.

Oh did it? I think I remember VT tours being advertised as a 50 of some sort, just don't remember hearing that loco
How true

Rumoured to have completed load bank testing and due out for mainline testing soon. I am pretty confident that LSL have learnt their lessons from the last time this was advertised to be at the head of a tour (even though LSL actually covered themselves perfectly for the back up option for that particular tour) and won't have announced said tour without having a high level of confidence that the loco is ready (of course, in the world of heritage locos nothing is ever guaranteed)
It was, I believe it is now amended to New Street instead of International

Indeed although there is still plenty of time to get the loco completely fit for traffic and tested prior to the end of July. No doubt it will be tested on the Crewe / Chester / Salop circuit prior to undertaking loaded test runs.

They are the preferred paths - the Deltic was using those paths recently so fingers crossed that's on an Intercity branded tour soon as well

Looks like 60081 has finally departed Toton for Margate today

Possibly replacing 47841 which has left Margate by road to return to Crewe for component recovery.

Does anyone know what's happened to 37688?
Are they desperate for spares/component parts so much that they would bring 841 all the way back from Margate,or is there method in their madness.?

This is LSL, they do seem to operate in unusual ways at times. But yes, 841 is being sent back up to Crewe for component recovery. A little surprising considering the ex Freightliner locos and 501 have all contributed parts, but obviously 501 will take 841s place in Margate and space has to be created for the 60.
Speaking of LSL, 57003 (LSL) plus 20302 / 311 (HNRC) headed down to Eastleigh today for a trip to Arlington’s paintshop.

In a word, yes. Class 47 parts are extremely scarce and they have another demic 47, 47501 which will be sent to Margate to replace 47841 in due course.
And 47810 is due out of Arlington any day now in a fresh coat of two-tone green

Do you know which path this was?
Also, I presume this means that 57003 is now confirmed to have returned from GBRf? I had it down as heading back on lease to them in Oct 2023 so does anybody know when this officially ended and it returned to LSL please?

Was thinking that myself a few days ago, though their locos have a habit of going AWOL for a while then reappearing.

I've heard a rumour that 43050 has moved to Crewe to join the LSL Midland Pullman fleet - anyone got any confirmation of this please?
