LE Movements and Test Runs 2013.

There appears to be no news on Cromwell so what are the chances of another Brit on the NNR on the 5th. I know it's meant to go to Stratford next day of course. Just a thought.

 

Class 47 + 34046 + stock. 5Z40 Bristol-Salisbury-Southall. 30/09/2013. <BJ>

So will the diesel necessarily be on the front today with Braunton tucked in behind? Or could it be diesel on the back?

Edited to add: I see the Realtime info states:

Diesel locomotive, trailing load 455tonnes

 

RTT always states diesel, even for steam traction, so sadly that doesn't help you

 

Braunton was tucked in behind the diesel on the ECS movement to Southall this morning. The Barton Hill museum is now empty. <BJ>

 

Thanks for both replies. Was about to dash out to take my chances but will give this one a miss.

 

47237+34046 raced north through Winchfield on the fast 12:46. Huge wheelflat on the front bogie of the 47, my hearing has only just come back.

Still surprised that there is an LE booked for tomorrow but we don't know what it is!

 

Yes it is crazy.

 

And we can't even joke that it might be Galatea anymore.

For anyone interested, HERE!! are the times for Tornado's move tomorrow............................

 

But, it also states maximum speed, if it states " 50 or 60mph max" it is most likely steam, for diesels its usually 95mph or thereabouts, hope this helps.

 

I see the mystery move was Britannia then. Going back again on Friday.

 

Times look to be blocked or unavailable yet for return on Friday.

 

I reckon that this is the path for tomorrows Brit move: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U53353/2013/10/04/advanced

 

Thanks for those timings, caught the blue one in the mist at Ferrybridge..........HERE!!

 

Thanks Ralph..........you're not at all biased in any way then?

 

I'm not biased either Stuart, but your picture of The Earl at the same location is far superior.

 

Another great shot, Stuart. Thanks for posting.
