LE Movements and Test Runs 2013.

Union of South Africa away from Wakefield Kirkgate on time

 

45305 moves to Crewe from Keighley this afternoon.

 

Thought it said next Friday 9th

 

Doh! Damn shift work, I've lost track of what day it is. Yes, it was the 9th.

 

Other than UK steam, where can I get loco movements from?

 

Real Time Trains. Use Advanced Search for a place you think the move is passing through on the day you think it's happening and see what shows up.

 

Its just that movements from uk steam get sometimes posted after it has moves, such as 45231 from Carlise to Crewe and return. or the last ones mentioned on this thread to Keighley.

 

True. Sometime (test runs, private charters) that's at the operator's request. Sometimes GWR4090 is away or busy or just doesn't get to hear of a short-notice movement until after the event. Remember that UKsteam.info is not an "official" site and is under no obligation to publish anything. David does a superb job keeping up with almost all the movements, and the site is now even better with the links to RTT pages. We must forgive him the occassional omission. ;-)

 

This is correct, saw it arrive in Leeds where it awaited the signal for around ten minutes.

 

60163 has moved to the MHR with 37901 on the rear of the support coach from Southall today. Not seen it, as am nearly 750 miles from the MHR in Berlin, but heard it through the gen groups.

Talk about around the houses because nothing out of the ordinary is allowed through Reading now.

 

47245, coaching stock & 70013 on rear just flew by me at Woking. 70013 between train and her support coach.

 

Joining the fast down at Byfleet and New Haw

 

Being horribly pedantic - the train's actually joining the slow or relief line there. The fast lines are in the middle on that bit of the Sou'Western
(I'll go back to counting rivets now...)

 

Being a pedant is not your strong point. It did actually join the fast line at the end of the clip - if you notice you will see the set diversion signal change as it passes it........
