LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2014.

A short noisy Vid Clip of 61264 hurrying through Church Fenton =

 

Did his make it all the way to the Greenford Triangle? It seems to have turned using the Drayton Green triangle, and then hiding itself in the Plasser works at Hanwell.

 

Not you Lol!

 

Yes it did make it to the triangle - came back 10 early................................ even Dave made it to Hanwell on time!

 

Upon review, It looks like it did make it all the way. Where I saw it hiding was short of the junction, and not in the works - Optical illusion.

 

yes I know, saw him there.

 

Tried to get from Iver to Hanwell, but didn't make it thanks to the traffic!

 

She certainly did! watched her turn on the triangle from the footbridge at Castle Bar - I think the crew wanted to get to Southall asap, as there was plenty of whistling going on, aimed I presume at the signalbox!

 

Only just from the sound of it - sounded out of breath when I phoned him to say Nunney was on her way...............................

 

Sulhamstead on time and more noise than usual for this line.

 

Didn't you follow Dave, Dave?

He just made it from the sound of it!

 

Yes, but got stuck in Southall.

 

oooo you didn't want to go that way........

 

Indeed!

Going down the A40 would get you there a LOT quicker....................................... which is the way T'other Dave took........................... A40 = empty road...................... Southall/Uxbridge Road = gridlock!!

 

My video of 5029. Filmed at Crofton and Iver (but not Hanwell!):

 

A couple from me..........................

On the Level........................

Ooop Hill..............

And video from t'other Dave............................. from Iver AND HANWELL! LOL!

 

According to the Preston Station Gen she is doing a loaded test run on the usual 5Z50 loop. Guess we'll know for sure if & when the path gets activated.

Cheers.

 

Only the best of us got to Hanwell.

 

5Z50 has indeed been activated this morning, so unless WCRC is test running something else I assume it's been activated for 61264 to do a loaded test run.
