Hi all, is anyone able to advise which unit is working the 07:30 Cardiff Central to Fareham today (21/08) please? It is due to terminate at Fareham due to a ‘train fault’ which seems a bit weird as it hasn’t even left Cardiff yet, and it’s also being advertised as three coaches instead of 4, and also no reservations, which is making me think it’s a Turbo.

Many thanks.

59001 on 7A97 (Merehead Quarry to Colnbrook Foster Yeoman)

GWR Sleeper 57s are notoriously difficult to track down, however 57605 worked the Down service to Penzance out of Paddington last night with 57602 the ECS loco on the rear - which was dropped off at Reading. I believe this would probably make 57602 one of the 57s you saw taking in the stock today. 57604 is a different livery to the others (https://flic.kr/p/X775PL) so could be ruled out if you got a good look at it. 57603 being the 4th green 57 option.

59005 on 7A15 17:05 Merehead Quarry to Acton Terminal Complex

70014 on 4O29 15:12 Trafford Park Freightliner Terminal to Southampton Marine Container Terminal

66093 is the current shunt loco in Hinksey Yard and the only one there this evening, so reckon you're right with that one.

First time request on this thread. My 8 yr old boy said it wasn't proper on the empty car train (the usual red 66) when him and the Mrs took the dogs out!

6L48 (Assuming thats not the Mickey Mouse code)
Garston Car Terminal Gbrf - Dagenham Dock Gbrf

Thanks in advance.

Was 66711 in the usual GBRF blue/yellow.

The above is never a red 66 (DBCargo). Not sure if perhaps there's confusion with the Southampton-Halewood empties (6M48) that run an hour later?

There’s the dagenham dock - mossend car empties too usually a db 66 or occasionally a 90 but i think the empties run overnight.
66711 is the one in the bardon aggregates livery.

As posted later, changed to 150/2 at Westbury. If a post on Facebook is correct, the 0544 Bristol TM to Portsmouth Hbr was also a Turbo and which turned back at Fareham (0923 ex Portsmouth Hbr) and was shown on Journey Check.

Thanks for the clarification. He was telling me it was a 59, so I knew that afternoon spent with his female friend has affected his judgement and my Mrs says a train is a train.
Yes you're right that it's usually a GBRF blue 66.
Thanks again and I'll leave this thread before embarrassing myself anymore.

Good evening,

Could anyone tell me the diagrams for the following class 313s tomorrow (22.08.18) please? I will only be able to get to Moorgate mid-afternoon, so from 1400 onwards would be great. Many thanks.
