5B31 Crewe to NH was 150210
5B42 NH to Crewe was 150128

Also in regards the Doncaster question its likely that the path is there in the system every week just in case, it doesn't make sense to be asking for extra paths all the time, easier to just cancel if not required

1114 Crewe to Neville Hill was 150203

Tomorrow Sun 30th Heaton to Bristol presumably a 158 for interior refurb replacing todays 158 815. I wonder what level of refurb 815 gas had.
K
Edit couple of moves Holbeck too and from Heaton today presumably 156s for the usual minor interior works.

The 158s which have been done so far at Bristol haven't received the digital mods, although it seem to take those at Bristol a little longer to be refurbed than those at Crewe. 158867 has been at Crewe for around 3 weeks now I think, and as this was already refurbished could be receiving the upgrades

VSTP 5N31 Doncaster - Newton Heath 30/08

STP schedule dated today only.
Last Doncaster was on Friday, and before Saturdays. They were all STP schedules dated only for that day.

Also in regards the Doncaster question its likely that the path is there in the system every week just in case, it doesn't make sense to be asking for extra paths all the time, easier to just cancel if not required
If this was the case, I would expect the path to be in the system as a "Q Path" which reserves it, and can be activated as required.
There are even a number of WTT paths between locations in the system which are rarely used, so as -

There's only around 5 unrefurbished Heaton based 158s now. I know 855 with the Orange door has been in the North East in the last two days. Other options are 158 842/51/3 and 61.

Updated lists 30/08/20, corrections welcome.

If anyone has any update on the 156's to and from Holbeck and which 158 has gone to Bristol that would be appreciated.

After this weekends moves are there any Northern DMUs at Wolverton.
K

Is 158872 still knocking about in the north east? Good to see 156496 finally making an appearance! Wonder which 156 will be next from Eastleigh?

Anybody know when the 331s are due to replace 323s on picc - stoke duties???

It was supposed to have happened ages ago & I thought the 323 fleet were meant to be getting allocated to liverpool now. A 331 occasionally does the stoke duty on a sunday if a 323 is on maintenance or similar.

Also are northern due to get any other cascaded units? There's been rumour floating about for months now that they might end up with the 175s when/if TFW get shot of them.

I doubt 323's will ever leave the routes they currently operate, especially with the random unit generator being a thing.

Messroom/office rumor or this forum's speculation rumor?
