LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2016

4965, 5043, 6201, should all do test runs on Shakespeare route or the East Mids circuit in the coming months I'd say. Not sure what's going on with the Princess, as I'd of expected it back by now !

 

From uk-rail. <BJ>

''It was meant to be WCRC hauled stock move with a WCRC pool 47 or 57 not 6201 as people assumed ''.

 

8F left Carnforth for York at 9.20am, Scots Guardsman and Galatea were in the yard being prepared for this mornings test run to Hellifield.

 

Did both go out on it?

Edit: Just seen some footage of it. Any clue what day one of the northern locos will move south for the Paddington Shrewsbury jaunt?

 

5V44 Carnforth - Southall has been activated for today. Dont suppose this could be a steam path? Timed for 60mph but only 4 minutes at Crewe to water: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P92114/2016/06/02/advanced

 

Looked across at 10.30. Galatea in steam outside shed but still facing north, no sign of any movement.

 

Hi there. In regards to what did not move from Tyseley the other day: I'm sure that there was an ECS (5xxx) movement (shown in RTT, but subsequently disappeared) from Carnforth to Tyseley arriving earlier in the day. If you were to look at the above planned movement in OpenTrainTimes (http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/P92114/2016-05-31) there was an apparent watering of something at Rugby.

On the subject of planned movements that were on RTT and then vanishing (and may have been connected to the above), there was a movement from Southall WRC to Didcott and back; unfortunately l cannot remember the date.

I know this does not necessarily provide any other details but I think there seemed to be something planned which did not happen.
-SC-

P.S. look what is now on RTT for next Monday: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U54524/2016/06/06/advanced.

 

it was turned later in the day,.....RTT advanced still down.

 

Back up and working now, just waiting to see if 5V44 gets activated for tomorrow...

 

5V44 now activated, but what is it?

 

It's on the move. Anyone sure on what it could be yet?

 

Galattea and looking good.

 

Thanks for the info. Any diesel on the front?

 

No diesel just support coach.

 

Fred's post only suggested this applied to light engine moves with a Z code. Presumably the fact that there is a support coach means this rather useful rule does not apply.

 

It's a WTT move and the headcode is fixed?

 

ooo ooo The Big Red machine coming south?

 

Presumably already taken? Like on 28th May - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P18023/2016/05/28/advanced

Guess there are more codes for LE paths available than ECS / freight ones???
