LE Movements and Test Runs 2013.

Isn't 452 the Intercity one ?, colourful combo when added to a BR Green 31 and Blue A1.

 

Bugger! looks like we all missed it then.

 

Ditto!

 

According to RTT they arrived at Stewarts Lane at 18:05 (277 late). <BJ>

 

I wonder when a class 31 last went down the Alton line?

 

If it's going to Crediton, it ain't going anywhere near Alton!

 

yeah, Double Ditto.

 

Do we know if Tornado is going on to NVR today? Hoping to get some shots.

 

NVR tell me that today's run has been cancelled and should now arrive about 5pm tomorrow. Should have asked them in the first place!

 

Did Tornado go with 34046 + 70000 yesterday? RTT had a move for a Diesel from Woking Yard to Alton today http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O33440/2013/10/29/advanced

Is this trip to pick up Tornado?

 

Movement from Alton to Orton Mere today (5Z66). I assume this is to move Tornado..........Dep Alton 10.47

Hi B1. I haven't seen you out and about for ages.
Yes, it's Tornado with 31.190 & 31.452. <BJ>

 

Grrr, Just went to Guildford to film this, it departed late and got diverted, ended up 35 minutes early past my place. Of course I was 35 minutes away in guildford.

 

Unlucky ! Any idea to what's happening with Fridays ECS move to Bridgnorth ? Diesel on the front ?

 

Looks like Ollie is being hauled backwards up there. Diesel/ECS/Ollie.

 

We think it's c47-Ollie (smokebox first) - ECS with some shunting and turning to do at Kidderminster before going to Bridgnorth... but as usual ... Anything could happen!

 

Any news of the actual configuration?

 

Diesel > ECS > Ollie (tender first)

 

5Z82 47580 & 70013 at Birmingham International:

 

A tad late I know but here's a shot of Tornado's move back on Wednesday taken from Syon Lane:
