LE Movements and Test Runs 2013.

Uk Steam and RTT still have the run listed for tomorrow.

 

UK steam info shows 60163 departing Alton at 07.55 tomorrow. Looking on Wessex rail gen tonight Basingstoker has posted a departure time of 08.20 tomorrow.

 

If she's running, then why are RHM saying on here that she is no longer attending the NNR gala? Or has it all changed?............................................. all I know this is turning out to be one crazy week for LE moves given yesterday with 45231!!!!!

As for RTT, doesn't mean she's moving until it activates......................................................................... please don't shoot the messenger, All I did was quote from another source................................................................ we shall see come tomorrow............................................................

 

Tornado ain't going anywhere unless they can fit it on a bus between Alton and Farnham.... http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/alerts.aspx#38CFF9AAA2004070B7AC38A451B9F204

 

Alton-Farnham is supposed to be closed until Friday.
But when I left Ropley at 1627 behind 45379 towards Alresford, Tornado and support coach were in the up platform.Maybe they are lifting the block to let it through?

 

That's the same link I posted on the NNR gala thread. But it doesn't mean they can't run a non service train from Alton to Farnham. Does anyone know what's happening with the oil tankers going to and from Holybourne?

Thanks

 

Heard they are not running.

 

Here is the link for tomorrow's move .....if it runs. Thanks to RTT. <BJ>

Thanks for the link. Looking at the timings there isn't any reason why 60163 can't attend the gala on Saturday and Sunday. But looking at their web site 60163 isn't attending the gala?

 

44932 5z44 Carnforth to Southall reported through Rugby 14mins early at 16:20 with two support coaches. <BJ>

 

Are you sure about that? RTT shows a pass at 16.04........................................

Now showing running approx 15 late!

 

Now RTT is showing the loco passing Rugby 1 min late at 16:21. How weird.
Just after it may have been held at Rugby South Jct. <BJ>

 

Who knows!!! it confused the c r a p out of me for a while........................................ she's missed out the stop at Northampton North Jn and is now running early again!

Right, now off to see if I can almost get bowled twice in a week lol!!!

 

Damn thing turned up almost an hour down, and did not sound healthy! You could hear her before she hove into view, with 2 on the hook? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........................................

 

44932 managed to cut out the London stops and arrived at Southall 43 mins early. <BJ>

 

I reckon if she'd stopped, she'd never have got going again, she didn't sound good.............................................................................

 

UKsteam is showing either/both 5's to Bristol today but then on RT it's showing just the one so was the sick sounding one coming to Southall for a holiday?

 

Both locos scheduled to work the Royal Duchy this weekend.

 

Here is a friends video of the "sick" 5 - Just drain cocks open?

 

The usual LMS drain cock problem by the looks of it.

Love the usual, over hyped comments about it being unhealthy and not being able to get going again if it stopped. If there had been a problem with the loco it wouldnt have made it that far south!
