    With Les Ross doing the leg to York tomorrow, they would need to send a diesel anyway. Just a pity it's not on the back.

    Fri 17th July - 5Z29 1018 Crewe H.S. to Bishops Lydeard has got to be 5029 with that headcode and avoiding Shrewsbury!

    61306 went to Southall yesterday hauled by the 20s that took 60007 to BL on Thursday.

    60007 has been swapped to 11th July Kingswear jaunt from the 18th. Can only assume 5029 to Kingswear that day!

    Maybe it will just take the Dalesman on Tuesday straight from York, might be some sense in that to save an LE move perhaps.

    Realtime suggests due to delays with another service like.

    There have been lots of 27mph paths recently both for LE moves and some normal stuff such as tampers.

    "Having done some googling, the 27mph output seems to be the result of a redundant 'fix' to a problem with VSTP source data that was resolved last year.

    There was a bug with the NR data for VSTPs that multiplied their projected speeds by 2.24, so they'd end up showing speeds in the hundreds of mph. RTT implemented a fix to show the 'correct' speed again (which was to multiply the input speed by 0.45).

    Although the speed multiplier bug at NR's end has been resolved, RTT's fix for them remains in place. 27mph should be 60mph. You also sometimes get 33mph ones, which should be 75mph."

    From https://www.wnxxforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=40124&p=1048084&hilit=Rtt+27mph#p1048084
