I think he just wants to get some shots of the enterprise trains, as he was asking me when they pass Olympia. I'm sure Julian would be grateful if someone could find out some times on his behalf...

thanks jonb for that
well next week i will see the loco i always wanted to see! Class 92

 

[tramboy]

Heh! The easiest way for me to see one of those is to go stand on Durham station at 2345 waiting for the Doncaster-Mossend intermodal.

Shame that they are my favourite class too...great photos though!

[Guinness]

Good Photos there Jon. As per usual :P

 

[Julian G]

or if i'm lucky i might get a 92 hauling a 90 to Euston on a Sleeper!!!!
i'm going to see the 11:00 up to the 14:40 one i think hock:
ah, good thing school finishes an hour earlier!!!
gets me time to see a cl92!!!

 

[Guinness]

Go to Crewe - Loads of 92s there :P

Also 92s don't have ETH IIRC. So that could be a problem for sleeping passengers, they might freezed to death in bed! :P

hmm, the class 92 can do the Sleepers can't they?
some of them have ETH i think

 

[Guinness]

Ah yes - All 92s have ETH (Electronic Train Heating )

According to the Railway Centre

 

[86242]

I think that a 92 has only worked that the sleeper once then a 90 failed near Carlisle and took it to Glasgow or something but I could be wrong...

 

[tramboy]

Remember that 92s were originally supposed to work the NightStar stock up and down the WCML...that was some of the heaviest and most expensive sleeper stock around...so they have a very high ETH rating if i remember rightly.

Cheers

I found some photos of the NightStar stock here , have the coaches ever been used or just been stored? I'd have thought someone could find some use for them (even just the seated coaches if nothing else)?

 

[Craig]

have the coaches ever been used or just been stored?

IIRC some were exported somewhere (Canada?).

 

[tramboy]

They were used in test on the WCML a few times, before the plan was scrapped...they were then stored at MOD Kineton.

A few years ago VIA Rail, Canada, were looking for new sleeping stock, spotted the nightstar stock going cheap and after testing a set in Canada took the rest. They now trade as VIA "Renaissance" sleepers.
