37610 ran 0Z10 to Coleham LMD. Maybe not for RHTT yet

 

[Lewis LJ]

Still surprised that no more 37s have joined 116 and 254 at thrall for 3J51 as of yet.

Edit: 0Z37 is booked from Barrow Hill To York Parcels Sidings today (10/10/24)
Railcam reckons 37175

Do these diagrams work on a weekend?

Here is a (mostly) complete list of RHTTs for this season. I may have missed some but I'm happy to be corrected.

Unfortunately it would appear that the Broxbourne trains are being worked by 66s this year.

 

[XCTurbostar]

Do these diagrams work on a weekend?

Almost all the RHTTs run on weekends but some run to amended diagrams, for example, York also serves the Airedale line with 3S29 but only on Sundays.

List now updated.

I noticed RHHT 3J41 pass through Bramley (Hants) last night. Caught 66200 (EWS livery) on the lead but couldn't see the DB loco on the rear for all the filth! Would anyone be able to identify the loco for me? Many thanks!

It was 66165

Thank you!! Greatly appreciated!

Thank you!! Greatly appreciated!

No problem! Apologies for replying late.
Just so you know we have a dedicated requests page on the forum and you are likely to get a much quicker answer (especially on freight) if you ask there: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/non-urgent-tops-requests.202237/

Thanks,

There's a 3W01 STP working off Tonbridge today to Grain with a 69 each end according to RTT:

Realtime Trains | 3W01 1233 Tonbridge West Yard Gbrf to Tonbridge West Yard Gbrf | 15/10/2024

Real-time train running information for 3W01 1233 departure from Tonbridge West Yard Gbrf to Tonbridge West Yard Gbrf on 15/10/2024. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.

Edit: and according to Mk1 eyeball

 

[172007]

With Network Rail having 32 double set MPV's is King's Norton and Total the only depots with them and why so few used? What over duties to the MPV fleet do during leaf fall, never see them nor photos of then doing anything.

Effingham Junction and Tonbridge also have some. Not sure about any others but there maybe others.

It's the same story as TPE 68s. Sat with nothing to do. They might be spares.

 

[RichardAsh1981]

On Merseyside MPVs cover third rail de-icing duties, this usually overlaps with leaf fall season depending on the weather.

One reason for few pictures may be they don't stop much and run in very poor light (given the time of year), so they are hard to photograph!

I saw an mpv at Lime Street on Thursday afternoon, platform 7 mainline, stood at the buffers

 

[50002Superb]

Does anyone know when the RHTT workings are scheduled to finish?

 

[DarloRich]

when the leaves are gone

Usually early December but climate dependant

 

[fgwrich]

An MPV appears to have escaped up the Highland Mainline within the last 24 hours, with the main Freightliner loco hauled RHTT rake requiring a fix at Motherwell.

 

[Worcestershed]

A very comprehensive list of all the RHTT workings thank you.

Also there is a 3J04 & 3J11 Kings Norton OT Plant Dept to London Marylebone and return which is Freightliner Locomotives, believe it alternates between these and the 3J09 & 3J10 Aylesbury to Marylebone runs

I saw this yesterday evening passing through Birmingham New St. A green 66 on each end.

 

[windnoise69]

Now running as a shortened 3J52 to Scarborough.

Swindon Transfer RHTT
0Z59 will run from Westbury to Swindon today with 4 locos for 2 RHTTs:
67027
67023
66846
66791 (On Hire to COLAS from GBRF)

Has 66846 been replaced by another hire in? 66792

 

[_toommm_]

The Harrogate line has been missed quite a few times in the evening this week, with the 3S20/21 etc. circuit replaced with a 3S20/3J51 etc. circuit covering the lines to Skipton and Ilkley earlier. Has the latter been struggling more, or has the former been performing better than planned?

 

[Ianigsy]

The climb from Shipley to Guiseley is treacherous at the best of times and headways on the Ilkley line are tight enough to cause headaches if an ex-Bradford train turns up late in the evening peak. I’ve been on enough Leeds -Ilkley trains trains which sat at Guiseley for 5-10 minutes waiting for the preceding train to clear Burley.

Who wants to take photos of MPVs? Hardly the most interesting of subjects for photography, especially at night.

 

[Forty29]

I saw this yesterday evening passing through Birmingham New St. A green 66 on each end.

Won't be green for long!

 

[Lewis LJ]

word is that 37254 is on the Selby circuit tonight

 

[berwicksfinest]

Does anyone know when the RHTT workings are scheduled to finish?

My operator last night said December 14th was quoted, well at least for the peterborough circuit

Each to their own.

Understood, thanks.

I’m hoping to see both the Nottingham and Sheffield runs on Saturday, and desperately hoping that 66849 will still be on the latter.
