    Yes, that's right but I tend to add a question mark next to the number so that if the allocated loco is altered it saves some clever ba….ard informing us that I was wrong. <BJ>

    Unfortunately due to worries over fire risk, The Torbay Express which Number 9 is due to work tomorrow will be diesel hauled with Number 9 coupled behind the diesel locomotive.

    What I don't get is why 09 will be behind the diesel and not vice versa.

    So why bother with UoSA? Clearly the Western Region of NR has made a decision.

    Exactly Al. Shocking way to run the train. Lost us a couple of hundred quid again but not TBEL's fault though they could have cancelled as it is a Bristol start. No service trains in that time of day. Perhaps it will do a Cumbria and chuck it down overnight.

    I don't think it is. When hundreds of people have had journeys delayed and all the problems that can cause to then and the operating company it should not be a surprise. This information, from the WSR thread, puts things in focus. Those delays will also affect return journeys back to London and elsewhere.

    From Network Rail: ''A property on fire near the railway between Castle Cary and Taunton is causing disruption to journeys between these stations.
    Services may be cancelled, delayed or revised''.

    1C79 Padd - Penzance (the train that followed 6233) was delayed at Somerton by 15 min.
    1C80 Padd - Newquay delayed by 67 mins.
    1C81 Padd- Penzance delayed by 68 mins.
    1A82 Penzance - Padd delayed by 75 min    s.

    What caused the property fire?? The Duchess? Not many properties that near the lineside.
