Monday 03-Oct-16 - Sevington Sidings to Fairwater Yard

[50039]

I work local to the freight only connection between Kew East Jn and South Acton. Every day, RTT shows up basically the same regular services - some are just paths that are never used, some run regularly. They vary slightly from day to day, but they are basically the same.

Occasionally we get an extra - at the moment we are getting Eastleigh to Ely services moving 442s into storage for example.

This coming Monday (and only Monday as far as I can see), there are also 2 services from Sevington Sidings (Ashford) to Fairwater Yard (Taunton). First one leaves Sevington at 10:03, second one at 11:03.

Any idea what these might be?

Thanks

It's the MOBC* moving between its current two operating bases;
so long that it has to move in two sections!

Thanks - not sure exactly what that looks like so I'll keep my eyes open

Don't think you'll miss that!

So I saw both of these workings today - first one was top and tailed by Freightliner 66s, second one had a single Freightliner 66.

No idea which ones they were - anyone know?
