LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2017

In answer to my own question, I've heard Tornado may be leaving Bodmin on Friday.

 

And back again: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O02270/2017/06/05/advanced. Any idea what this was? BIL again?

 

Would have thought it is to do with the dalesman? First one was steam, return was diesel? Repeated again this evening

 

Agreed - that makes sense

 

46233 on the way to Tyseley this afternoon:

 

Oh well. I was hoping they would because of her current guise and also due to the SR Anniversary.

 

Standard 4 stands in Sheringham NR station on the 2nd day of its test runs to Cromer. Class 20 on the other end. 11.15am today.

 

Nothing yet on RTT

Thanks for the info.

 

A quick clip of Tornado this morning on her way from Bodmin to Stewarts Lane.

 

didnt plan to make a big production of this, It was passing, I took the dog for a walk and I took a quick film of Tornado heading home to Stewarts Lane depot from the Bodmin Railway. Surprisingly it was on the up fast, the up slow having been at red for some considerable time. While there I did a quick vid of the platform edge on the down slow (Plat 3) that has been causing an issue with the Scotsman. Clearly the platform edge is migrating about a bit!

 

Needs attacking with an angle grinder.

 

Something as simple as that wouldn't occur to NR

 

Cutting back a platform edge to gauge can be done but needs something like this -

But this needs to have the blade running outside the wheel track unlike this one.
A full survey of the platform is required to determine how much is needed to be cut off and where and would need a possession and isolation to carry out the survey.

However the proper solution would be to lift all the copes, cut back into the surfacing about 150mm, then reset all the copes to gauge and backfill the surfacing.

 

One wonders if Clan Line will be ok through there.

 

Just found this on RTT, and after referring to OTT times, it's booked to water at Connington Loop; This coming Saturday, York N.R.M. to Stewarts Lane (Also supposed to turn L/E on arrival at Battersea). Just thinking what it could possibly be - some on Facebook have said 60009, but nothing is clear.
