RailAdventure operated Network Rail 43013 & 43062 worked 0047 5Z44 Welwyn Garden GC FD to Stevenage and 0705 5Z45 return with the ROMIC set on ETCS testing

These two have been joined by 43467 and 43423 coupled to 43013 on the ROMIC set in the yard at Welwyn Garden City. Together with 20901 and 20905 on the Balfour Beatty drain train they’ve turned the yard into a veritable Motive Power Depot! While I’ve seen plenty of visiting locomotives there over the years, I think six is a record…

They will leave on Thursday morning from Laira to Mid Norfolk Railway, taking a couple of 43s and Mk3 SLEPs with them.

That’s a shame, the ex Caley vehicles won’t be used to boost the Night Riviera fleet then.

Thank you, much appreciated

 

[co-tr-paul]

I presume these are the ex Scotrail pair 10553/555 that were intended for fleet expansion pre pandemic but warm store ever since ?
Definitely NOT current Night Riviera stock.

Technically it is 43480 and 43162 working the train.

When I saw this at Hampstead Heath, 43162 was most certainly not taking power.
