90029 travelled light engine this afternoon from Bounds Green to Doncaster West Yard (0Z90).

Booked as a VTEC service, strangely timed for 74mph on RTT, took about four hours as it dropped into various loops en route.

It was a VSTP which generate odd "timed for" numbers that come up on RTT etc. I've seen this working elsewhere as "timed for 168 mph" (a favourite for VSTPs).

Someone might explain exactly, but it's something to do with the way the Network Rail system works and how the data comes out that means the "timed for" speeds on VSTP's are multiplied by some set (but obscure) factor (certainly on RTT) to give these anomalous figures.

Heading to Cambridge this morning from King's Cross our departure was delayed, as explained by our driver, because the train that was supposed to be in front had developed a fault and not departed, so there was a short delay whilst the signallers re-set to allow us out instead. THe failure? Dark blue 90 with a short-formed Mark IV set - coach K was to be seen sitting on its own outside Bound's Green!

Anyone got any gen for today's 90 workings?

I passed a 90 set about five minutes ago on the train at Westgate. Hoping there'll be one on the 1933 from Kings X tonight!
