LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2015

Thanks for that, appreciated.

 

Not my footage but 46115 moved to Crewe for the North Wales tour and not 45690 .

 

Nice to see that SG's smokebox now seems to be fully functional.

 

Has 46115 gone back to Carnforth?

 

ECS went back to Carnforth Sunday night behind 47760 after arrival at Liverpool, assume 46115 was on the rear

 

Tornado must be returning to the smoke soon as it's first Pullman duty is this Saturday....or has it already arrived?

Will it be based at Southall or Stewarts Lane?

Edit...doh

Just found it. Early hours of today to Stewarts Lane.

 

No 9 heading for Rugby due to arr 17-30

 

Departed Rugby due Northampton 18-12

 

Just gone past Watford camera

 

No 9 now at Southall

 

Looks like Tornado moving to the Nene Valley Railway on Wednesday: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U50731/2015/08/12/advanced

 

And this is it at Kings Langley and Hanwell

just seen a note on facebook that the 8f might be out for a test run from Carnforth. There is a 5m50 activated earlier this morning - could be worth watching out for this.

Something now showing running 48 mins late

 

28L at Carnforth and then seems to have vanished, although may be RTT having a funny five minutes?

 

You rarely, if ever, get any reports between Carnforth and Hellifield, so no news is probably good news in this case!

Arrived 45L at Hellifield although I suspect that must of that will be saved on watering time.

Just trying to decide whether its worth a mosy down to Lancaster when she goes through?

 

seems to be stuck at Hellifield and 45 late, and not moved. Failed?

Wonder if it will return with 5z13 (dalesman engine)

 

RTT is normally quite quick at being updated if something is cancelled so no idea?

 

Test train round the full circuit usually consists of 8 coaches + diesel (makes up load or "just in case"). With an updated time appearing on RTT for Settle Jn (a couple of hours after the first time shown), I wonder if it's making it's way back to Carnforth the short way.
