Someone may be able to confirm or otherwise, but certain routes require lighter locos than Class 66s (due to weight limits on bridges, gauging issues etc.) - so you'll always get the smaller/lighter 73s on them. Also, if it's a route predominantly on the Third Rail, it makes sense to use 73s which can run on electric on the Third Rail rather than diesel.

As for Class 20s, as noted above the only regular workings these days are of the tube S Stock transfers from Derby via Banbury to West Ruislip - GBRf operated usually with 2x 20s at each end. You'll also sometimes find the 20s in West Ruislip Underground depot between workings.

If you search under RTT for "West Ruislip Lul Dept GBRf" (e.g. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/sea...18/02/17/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt ) you'll see the paths in for the Banbury-West Ruislip moves - however it's one of those that's there's lots of paths but only certain ones get used for delivery runs. I'm no expert on when they happen, so you'd need to hunt round the forum a bit to try and find out when they're running - alternatively keep an eye on the Derby (Chaddesden Sidings usually I think)-Banbury workings as I'm guessing if something moves from Derby to Banbury, it's logically then going to move to West Ruislip. e.g. Derby-Banbury 7X08 working last week... https://flic.kr/p/EB8wyK
Thanks my friend

Hi all,

Please can I have what DRS 57 was at Rugby and Wembley Yard yesterday at around 10AM please? They were both different locos and it's rather hard getting numbers at 125mph :lol:

Thanks

Rugby one was 57309

57301
was on 0K69 at that time moving from Willesden Brent back to Crewe - at around the time you passed it was performing various shunting manoeuvres in the Willesden/Wembley area, so I expect that was the one you saw.

Thank you very much! 301 was hidden behind a 90 so you've been a great help :)

You're welcome.
I take it you ID the 90, but if not - 90035 (EWS) and 90040 (DB Red) were the two that were in Wembley Yard per TOPS.

Ah that's great! It was infront of 035 and I ID'd that, however I forgot about the DB liveried 90. You have been a great help. Thanks! :)

Anyone know what this apparent EMU is running tomorrow north of Bedford?
It's a ROG ECS move per the Service Code. Isn't Plumstead where the Crossrail Class 345s are entering the tunnels for testing? My hunch is it's ROG moving one of those back to Derby RTC?

If this theory is correct, then 37 608 at Stratford is the most likely loco. It took 345 021 to Stratford on Friday evening (pic not mine: https://flic.kr/p/233BSrp)
