Thanks again TimboM, they certainly appear to be those.
This is going to sound pretty daft now but have you just done a simple google/flickr search for those? If so, what information did you put in as whenever I do that I never seem to get the responses I'm looking for?

For these just searched "Stafford" and sorted results by "Date Taken" (i.e. newest first) on Flickr.
Of course, you sometimes my have to try a few search options (e.g. "Stafford station" / headcode / loco ID etc)

Out and about bashing in the Leeds area (again). Saturday 8th.
13:45 Leeds to KX was an East Midlands HST pair, but I couldn't get them.
Any chance of these?

By the way on my last Wakefield to Leeds travel today behind 91105, coming into Leeds, the on-train announcer went something like this.
"On your right is the mighty Elland Road, home of the winners of the league title in 1974. We would like to apologise to all of the people on this trip visiting our fair city, for all those wearing Man Utd shirts".
It certainly beat the usual "make sure you've your belongings with you and mind the step down".

Can anyone explain this headcode,
612U, Huntly-Millerhill, Diesel timed 60mph, 600t
Guessing it's ballast

Cheers

Real headcode is 6K20. The corresponding working (also 6K20) went out to Huntly yesterday pm reported as:
66533
66528

It is indeed a ballast train: https://flic.kr/p/M8bhor (not mine)

Note the tonnes quoted (and max speeds) on RTT are whatever gives the most appropriate timings for the train and not the exact weight/speed.

There's a fair improvement with that newly replaced track up there

Thank you for your request! Just as well I noticed it before I posted exactly the same question!

I can confirm the power up front southbound was 66528 with 533 bringing up the rear.

Sarah

Any idea what worked this today please, plus its real headcode?

Also, what was the load? I assume ballast as it was coming from a possession.

Think you got the numbers jumbled slightly - TOPS (at 08:20 yesterday) had them as 66505, 66552 and 66591.

66955 on 6X30

Here is the said train a little earlier: https://flic.kr/p/29PzdCo (not mine)

The "X" signifies special restrictions - the point holders and possibly cranes on this are what make it an X I believe.

43061 and 43075 are normally on the rota for the East Coast set unless they are having maintenance done.

Ok thanks - couldn’t see any number on it as it flashed past.

Just realise there are only 4 of them - does anyone know which one it would have been today.
I think I may have seen it earlier at Hayes or action yard.
Many thanks for any help
