RHTT Season 2025

[CDM Transport]

Hello,

I thought I'd start this forum rather early as the news has recently come through that the RHTT operators for the 2025 season have been narrowed down to just Colas and GBRf.

I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on which circuits were going to GBRf and which to Colas and any ideas on traction etc

Colas meant to have slateford rhtt

Is that the ex DB one?

 

[loco2016]

Yep

Is that the ex DB one?

Yes it was, ran as 3S93

These are all the RHTT from last year that were not Colas or GBRf.

Slateford (Central Scotland) - DB 66s


Margam (West Wales) - DB 66


Didcot (GWML) - DB 66s


St.Blazey (Devon and Cornwall) - DB 66s


Inverness (Dundee via the Highland Main Line) - DRS 68s


Peterborough (Lincolnshire) - DB 66s


Carlisle (Tyne/Tees) - DRS 68s


Inverness (Dundee via Aberdeen) - FL 66s


Kings Norton (Chilterns) - FL 66s


Carlisle (Cumbria) - DRS 68s or 66s


Toton (MML) - DB 66s


Toton (East Midlands) - DB 66s

Quite a lot for Colas and GBRf to cover as well as all the others that they already had between them.

Hope that helps.

Dan.

Who will be doing the 3S20/3S21 etc. circuit through Yorkshire, along with the 3J21 circuit; and what is the expected traction?

I think Colas will keep the 3S20/21 diagram.

Thank you. Is it Colas or DRS that are ditching their 37s (hoping it's the latter so we'll still see 37s on 3J21).
