Has today’s Wolverton - Allerton move been cancelled again?
I am asking as RTT was down for a while so there is not up to date info.

All replies much appreciated!:)

Dosent look like any of todays moves Wolverton Allerton, Eastleigh to Heaton, Heaton to Eastleigh are running.
It would have been thec4th try for Wolverton to Allerton.
Keeps someone in a job I suppose booking then cancelling paths.

I think it might be the 5th attempt for the Wol - Allerton move as I recall there were two Saturdays it was cancelled and there was two week days it was cancelled too as well I believe.

Hopefully it should run this Saturday 6th time lucky! Fingers crossed!

It annoys me when paths keeps being made and cancelled, I get excited thinking it might be coming and then bam! Cancelled again! So disappointing!

Last ScotRail 156 447 will end up at Heaton tonight by my reckoning. It's been on the Durham Coast all day. Should be on the last one from Hexam tonight as far as Newcastle.

Somebody asking which Northern units have the coloured circles on still. Just on 156463 now and can confirm it still has them.20201015_165643.jpg

Had 158910 today complete with digital train mods (USB/Wifi) so it looks like a start is now being made on these.

Re 158 910 I wonder where there carrying out digital train mods to units already refurbished. I hope provision has already made for whatever wiring etc is needed without tearing the interiors apart again.

Refurbished 158's. Are they designed to have the vestibule doors open ? Sat on one and they are.

Perhaps 156 449 (Eastleigh 13th June) and 150 113 (Crewe 3rd Oct).
I also have 156 485 at Eastleigh since 13Aug.
I think this just leaves 156 447 as threat non PRM unit in service which I guess should depart Heaton for Eastleigh tomorrow Sun.
