Does anyone know what 70 019 is doing today please?

It's showing as being at Crewe Basford Hall where it's been since it moved there late on the 11th July (last Tuesday). I don't have any info on its future movements I'm afraid, but doesn't appear to be doing too much at the moment!

EDIT: been at Crewe BH all day.

 

[TimboM]

There's been a set swap, so 43148 is now doing:

1B28 11:45 Paddington - Swansea
1L76 15:29 Swansea - Paddington
1C27 19:00 Paddington - Bristol Temple Meads
1T35 22:01 Bristol Temple Meads - Chippenham

1T32 23:03 Chippenham - Bristol Temple Meads

Thanks, I believe the 19:00 Pad - Bristol calls at Didcot

Although looking at RTT it seems the 15:29 Swansea - Paddington departed Swansea 40 minutes due to an obstruction on the track around Newport, so I might be able to grab it on route into Paddington

A chapel fell onto the Railway line. A chapel above the railway line in the Splott area of Cardiff collapsed during renovation work with debris falling onto the line. Also Fire Brigade required access via the line to rescue a buried workman.

Sadly the man has died. Condolences to his family and friends. If anybody would like to start a separate thread on the incident, please feel free but we have gone off topic here.

Ouchie at the collapse of the chapel. RIP

Managed to get it into my book, looked like it was going to form the 19:30 Weston Super Mare service after a ~ 45 minute late arrival.

Just 43029 left to get

To answer you currently unanswered questions. It was 66102 at Southall TC and 57602 at OOC - I passed by early evening. 57603 is at Long Rock.

You are a scholar and a gentleman.

Many thanks.

From today (Tue 18th July)

Royal Mail 325s first -

One set, sitting just south of Basford Hall c.1350 - not sure if it was on the Up or Down Slow.

Three sets south through Stafford c.1758 on the Warrington - Willesden

Can anyone confirm the following partial sightings:

66716 (?) on up intermodal through Stafford c.1610?
66506 (?) on up intermodal at Basford Hall c.1815?

1x70 on down intermodal south of Stafford c.1610

Wasn't this you saw was it? https://flic.kr/p/VCc1rT (not my pic)

The wagons match your description and it arrived at Basford Hall at 18:31. Not sure though, as think you'd have mentioned the pretty unusual FL / DRS combo.

Super. Least the 150 diagram to Hereford appears to be in order, thanks.

Just realised that I'm in the best place to clear my 220 requirements, so if possible could you check if 220028 is out today, too? It'd be very much appreciated!

Good luck hunting your final 220 down Richard, at least XC has been nice and put it on a service doable within the West Midlands

Big thanks Melancholia, I managed to get it from Newbury to Reading to clear my last passenger 43, lady luck has been on my side this week

I believe the Red 67 was 67028 - has the 'next generation' branding/slogan on it now too. Has been in Doncaster last couple of days and departed to Knottingley a few mins ago on this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O13511/2017/07/19/advanced

37422 (DRS unbranded) is on 2Z02. I believe it has inspection saloon 975025 'Caroline' with it - they were paired together on a working (5Z02 Derby RTC-York) yesterday.
