No, it's 90041 arrived at Wembley a couple of hours ago. 90043 is down for 4L75.

Doubt it, the set will just go ECS to Wembley then to Stoke tomorrow morning with '041.

 

[Wigan Wanderer]

90041 currently on 08.37 Preston - Wembley Central, booked to return on the 18.56 departure from Wembley.

 

[The Snap]

It was at Stafford heading north at about 9pm last night, then Crewe about 20 minutes later. A Freightliner Green Class 90 was on the front...

 

[323235]

Sources say that it looks like its going to be 46 this week as 43 has got an ETH fault,which was discovered during its F exam.

I heard from Cheshire Rail Gen (i get their posts sent to my email) that 90029 with the WB64 Stock starts tomorrow on the 25th May

 

[Pumbaa]

Think it may be out for a while over the next week, a 390 had a run-in with a tree in Scotland yesterday and requires attention to the front.

 

[DarloRich]

[TomJ93]

Eh? Not on the 18:4x to Crewe?

 

[Chester025]

Jacked at Watford on the 1230 Brum - Euston, loco run round and went ECS to Euston. No reports since.

 

[TomJ93]

Certainly not on the 16:30. And an EWS unit?

Out tomorrow?

 

[craig87034]

1G27 14:43 Euston-Birmingham New Street
1B68 16:30 Birmingham New Street-Euston
1G40 19:03 Euston-Birmingham New Street

[TomJ93]

Why no IK 39 to Crewe?

 

[87015]

Why no IK 39 to Crewe?

Probably because the set off that goes empties to Oxley (5G39) which isn't where you'd want the Mk3 set and might well be a Wolves crew which won't sign it anyway.

 

[tbtc]

Interesting to see LM's Twitter feed yesterday referred to it as the "Pretendolino" (it had failed at Watford so was delaying LM services IIRC) - I don't think I've seen it referred to as that in any "official" context before (only by us enthusiasts)

Is this a new thing from the timetable change? Does it affect Friday nights?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I think it's more likely it's covering for the broken 390 ( the one that hit the tree ) so they're keeping it close to London in case they have to put it on any extra services?

 

[Dreadnought]

Probably no different from before the timetable change. There is still a Friday only VT 18:57 pendo service to Manchester which presumably becomes available due to 1K39 being the Mk3 set.

 

[Chester025]

Yes I am aware that the extra Euston - Brum diagrams are only temporary with only (on paper) 1K39 booked a 90 on a Friday. What I meant was, is the ECS booked to go back to Oxley on a Friday, if so will it effect that train in the future?

 

[craig87034]

The ECS of 1K39 on a friday from Crewe is booked a ronnie to drag WB64 to Wembley yard

Ah so no change on a Friday then, ta!
