Today we are scheduled to have 2 test trains chug along the Marston Vale line:

3Q35 1012 Derby R.T.C.(Network Rail) to Reading Triangle Sidings - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U01299/2024-06-04/detailed

2Q08 1517 Derby R.T.C.(Network Rail) to Welwyn G.C. F.D. - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U13418/2024-06-04/detailed

can anyone tell me what will operate them? Assume one is the class 950 and perhaps the other a 153 unit?

Well 3Q35 is 37219, 2Q08 is usually the 950/150.

Wondering what went past me on Tuesday 04/06/2024 when I was at West Brompton on this

Realtime Trains | 2O49 1552 Watford Junction to East Croydon | 04/06/2024

Real-time train running information for 2O49 1552 departure from Watford Junction to East Croydon on 04/06/2024. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.
www.realtimetrains.co.uk www.realtimetrains.co.uk
OK I might be mixed up and it might have been Kenny O or Imperial Wharf. We were staionary at a station.

But looking at RTT there was nothing going Northbound, just a lot of Q entries.

It looked like a light loco and the colour made me think my best guess was a class 93. It was quiet and fairly swift, just caught my eye at the last minute.

The only northbound non passenger train around that time that I can find that ran was 6M51 1305 Dollands Moor to Daventry, which was hauled by 66745.

Thanks @ls2270 I can only assume I saw less across the coach between people than I thought and my imagination was more involved than I thought !. It was a rather distinctive green (maybe a bit blue). Perhaps just a shopping bag blowing past the window as our train was getting crowded !.

There is an outside chance we crossed that 6M51 at Shepherds Bush I suppose. First photo I found of 66745 was in Colas colours (ten years back already ?) !.
