LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2020

That would make sense, I was some distance away and only saw the rear half, which must have been the DVT. I also couldn't quite tell if it was a 43 or 91 front end (because of a wall), but made the assumption from it being diesel on RTT.

Much obliged.

 

Ex-LMS Stanier 'Black 5' 4-6-0 No. 45231 The Sherwood Forester running with support coach near Milner's Heath on the Chester to Crewe return leg of its second test run of the day, about 35 minutes ahead of schedule.



Cheers,

 

We need to declare a national holiday... Rail Advent got something right! Proof that miracles do happen!

Any news on the reported test run for 60009. There was a post on No 9's Facebook page for a run around the Hellifield /Blackburn circuit next Tuesday

 

60009 on test Tuesday:

ELR - Carnforth

Carnforth - ELR

I wonder if 60103 will be going with 60009 as far as Carnforth before continuing South to the MHR. Bit of an early start just for a test run.

A long day for the support crew.

 

Been tipped off that the VAR paths to and from Coton Hill (the LSL circuit) is 46100 on Tuesday.

That path is being used today by 45231 on a rake of 8 coaches without any diesel on the rear. It left Chester c10 mins early.

 

Sounds like crew training.

 

Must have lost one Only counted 7 Mk 1s!

Unless anyone knows different I'm sure this is the first LSL circuit without a diesel.

 

Anyone know what This service was cancelled due to a problem with the schedule (QM) that's showing against No.9's Test Run timings this morning means? The LE move across from the ELR was stopped at Balshaw Lane for an hour earlier so hope there's no issue with the A4.

 

5M50 is still showing as running, which is the booked full circuit path.

5Z44 has appeared as cancelled, but that run was Carnforth - Hellifield with a return path via Clapham, which is generally for loco and POB tests.

Message from the support crew a few minutes ago confirms the run from ELR to Carnforth went fine.

 

No, train planning have made a mistake or a panel box somewhere en-route has produced a simplifier which is wrong. Extracted from Delay Attribution instructions.

Nothing wrong with 60009 on this incident.

Thanks.

 

Something is on the move out of Crewe ! Potentially 46100 as mentioned up thread but in what form ?

 

Being reported on Railcam as 45231 Sherwood Forester

 

Reported as 45231 on Railcam chatroom

 

Just caught the last few coaches passing the HC railcam, most likely same as yesterday then !

 

60009 is sat in the loops at carnforth with 7 coaches and a class 33 on the back.
