Great Britain VI

According to RTT Day 9 is timed for 60mph. Presumably because it is not known whether a 75mph loco will be available.

 

I woulden't take the speed, tonnage and traction type as Gospel on RTT, just the timings really.

 

Was this expected for tomorrow?

Diesel 0Z82 07:45 London Victoria to Salisbury. Diesel ex 0Z82 to attach to rear of 1Z82. Dep Salisbury 11:08. <BJ>

 

Just wondering where you got that from?
Is it reliable? I hope not...

 

I think that is the case. There is no path after Salisbury, it appears it attaches to the GB6. I have a good friend on board, so will post if it attaches at Salisbury.

Shame for Honiton then...

 

Heres the path from Victoria..

Seems to fit in with what james says...there is a Light engine path from Exeter to St Blazey...

So the Black 5s wont have it on back...Ideal for Dainton which is where I will be...

 

According to uksteam Tangmere still running Victoria leg of train in the morning? Whats wrong with Tangmere? Why is it meant to be diesel out of London?

 

It is Tangmere out of London,the diesel runs Light engine to Salisbury after bringing the empty stock with Tangmere on the back into Platform 2 at Victoria...

 

Fingers crossed it is!

According to RTT SOMETHING has left Southall on its way to Victoria............................................................... Still we'll find out soon enough, its either going to be a :happy: (if its Tangers) or a :tape2: if its a box

As I type, what ever it is has arrived at Victoria 22 early.........................................................

 

DIESEL 47245 has arrived with kettle..sorry,steam engine 34067 on the rear...

 

GB VI is on it's way. 7 late at Clapham Jct. <BJ>

 

Through Clapham Junction around 0809. Tangmere leading. No diesel at front or back!

 

The class 47 diesel is booked to follow the steam. ie. 6 mins after at Virginia Water, 08:45/08:51. <BJ>

 

Hoping to get the Black 5s crossing into Cornwall later, does anyone know if the engineering works on the Royal Albert Bridge have finished, or is it still covered up?

 

Right time Woking. Held outside station for 0900 departures to Alton (platform 5) and Weymouth (platform 4). Hoped that she would be crossed at Byfleet and Newhall as booked on to the down fast for a speedy race through platform 4 but it was not to be.

Having said that Tangmere looked and sounded great accelerating through Woking station.

The diesel light engine passed on the down fast (how ironic) some minutes later.

I thought this Realtime trains info was supposed to be accurate. It did NOT pass through Platform 4 at Woking. It passed on the down slow on Platform 5 behind the down Alton service.

 

Like any other internet gen, it's only as accurate as the info that is added to it. <BJ>

 

The wrong link to RTT was given, this is the one you want.

Arrived and departed Winchfield water stop pretty much dead on time,looking very good.most of the stock appeared to be newly painted(not before time!).

47 diesel running light passed 5 mins before on fast line.

Thats a crying shame the 47 is going on the back at Salisbury. Why? Maybe lack of path to Exeter,don't think fire risk with the recent rain.
