Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

[InkyScrolls]

106 is on the Triangle today but appears to have had problems at Cononley (reason unclear).

2S07 0737 SKI - BDQ

Edit: 2H14 heading from Leeds to Skipton was held for about fifteen mins at Steeton, so it is likely an issue with the track rather than the train.

It’s been ongoing all morning since the first up and down services.

 

[reecestrains]

I was at Leeds Station this morning and I heard a few triangle trains cancelled due to 'more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.'

 

[jonesy3001]

I see today's run hasn't set off, loco or unit problem?

 

[reecestrains]

I'm not sure, says its running but still not left as of 1540.

5Q36 hasn't even been activated, so I don't think it will run today.

 

[reecestrains]

There's no message to say it's not been activated and it hasn't come down as cancelled. So I don't know what's going on?

Showing cancelled on the system now.

 

[reecestrains]

So 101 has failed then... Hope it's not becoming like 107!

Unless it's the loco acting up again?

 

[Geeves]

5Q36 with 106 today is just leaving the Hill as we speak

 

[jonesy3001]

Wonder when they're going to drag 101 over to allerton.

 

[Defiance149]

Wonder when they're going to drag 101 over to allerton.

Tomorrow according to a post elsewhere.

 

[reecestrains]

Someone on another forum said tomorrow. So likely a run will appear on RTT later on.

331107 made its first appearance in service over here on tonights 1745 Liverpool Lime Street to Wigan NW. Not actually first as it was here previously before its treansfer to the east.

 

[Jamesrob637]

331101 on 20/12
331106 on 21/12

Did 106 transfer over today? I see the move ran.

Yep, it did.

Yeah, it was over in the North West before in the early days before moving over to do services in Yorkshire.

331 101 is still running on the east side. I'm on it right now on a Doncaster Leeds service

Possibly waiting until after Christmas to send 101 I wonder if enough 331/1s are at Allerton now to replace the last couple of 319 diagrams before 101 gets there.

Both 319369 and 381 were out this morning on peak trains. 369 is now on Springs Branch whist 381 is at Allerton.

[reecestrains]

I have a feeling if nothing is put down for tomorrow, then it'll likely be next week or early in the new year when 101 will be towed over to Allerton.

Something is moving from Wolverton to Newton Heath tomorrow, so moves are still taking place until then. But I'd hazard a guess at nothing Xmas Eve or in the 2 days after, especially not Xmas Day.

Thanks for sharing, once that unit has gone over, the swap is complete.

 

[317 forever]

That should be all units swapped in time for Christmas. What an interesting swap this has been, most interesting with 331107!

Maybe a passenger on the final train to switch sides of the Pennines will be Father Christmas

 

[reecestrains]

101 is headed to Neville Hill tonight after a Doncaster run, so I'm presuming that'll be the last run for the 331/1's here in Yorkshire if everything goes as planned.

 

[SimplyLlama]

This hasn’t left from Derby yet: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:29766/2023-12-28/detailed

So the final 331 transfer is up in the air at the moment!

Edit: It has just left now

 

[jonesy3001]

The loco is on it's way to neville hill for 10, so hopefully no problems.

[reecestrains]

Yep, the last unit is on the way to Allerton after 3 attempts. Didn't quite beat 107's record of 4 attempts though!

 

[Elliott TC]

would be funny if they swapped them all back again
