could just be its support coach

 

5Z40 19.50hrs Crewe HS - Chester - Shrewsbury (arr 22.44hrs)
5Z41 22.54hrs Shrewsbury - Wellington - Stafford - Crewe HS (arr 02.18hrs)

 

Anyone know why the 5Z45 Castelton - Southall LE move for 44871 today (25/4/16) was terminated at Crewe?

 

What's going on with 44871 ? RTT says it going no further than Crewe ! Is it joining the GB stock movement from Carnforth?

 

Most likely joining that other path from Carnforth down to Southall

 

Timings don't indicate the adding of another loco, but I agree that's what's happening.

 

Has it dropped on the front or has it gone on the inside ?

 

A pullman coach was shunted off the ecs at Crewe

 

Any updates not seem to get far past crewe on RTT

 

It is now on the move again it was stoped at Norton jc fo a some time

 

Is there a thread somewhere that explains a lot of the terminology used here? Rather than ask questions that have been asked a thousand times by other vaguley bewildered newcomers?

 

Does this mean the set is going to be a coach light tomorrow then? Interestingly the path seems to be to Southall LSL and not Southall WCRC?

 

Now 77 late at Stafford

 

WCR is haveing to vacate Southall

 

Not in the next two days as far as I am aware?
