44871 is on the move .

 

34067 Tangmere heading for Hellifield

 

Been stuck in P/boro for a long time

 

On the move, 132 down but due to sit at Fletton Junction for an hour.

 

Just left 132 late

 

The booked water tanker failed to attend

 

Interesting one today, the Southall - Carnforth ECS ran today with the maroon Mk2 set from down south going back to Carnforth, do they have another set somewhere as seems odd to be sending back up north when there is a RTC gig booked in down south on Thursday?

 

Possible swap with the Blue and Grey set?

 

Once you take out catering vehicles etc, is the blue set longer than the maroon, looking at the Mk2's in both both seem to be 8?

 

Perhaps the AC actually works on the blue and grey set and as it has been very hot in the south, for what seems like forever, maybe it could be a better use of resources.

0Z13 Fort William - Carnforth ran last night. Was it 45212?

 

Planned for 20mph which is a bit odd unless it’s got a problem

 

Nearly 300 miles in about 11 hours (including a few lengthy stops) is a bit more than 20 mph.
