LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2014.

Bittern was in the shed on Saturday when I passed but outside last night and seemingly coupled to a support coach.

 

Check back through Southall WCR schedule last week and you will see several
This service was cancelled throughout due to the train operator's request (TB).

They frequently activate, and then cancel. Lets leave your silly semantics and points scoring behind for just a moment if you can, and get back to the question at hand, is this movement a significant Tangmere one or not?

 

57313 / 314 allox 5V42.

Andrew N

 

Thanks.

 

Steam moves from Carnforth to Southall (even with a diesel in charge) don't normally use the standard 95mph 5V42 path, but a special 5Zxx path is normally set up leaving Carnforth several hours earlier in the day.

 

thanks - useful insight

 

You have great input on here Mr K, great videos, BUT don't like your comments against Ralph !! Not necessary. Pete. ps had to look up the meaning of 'semantics' !!

 

I think Ralph is big enough and ugly enough to look after himself, and besides is not immune from a bit of banter and sparring himself. And glad to have broadened your vocabulary, my bill is in the post, being education its tax deducible.

 

Ladies, please knock it off!

I thought this thread was supposed to be a civilised one!

BACK on topic, I for one am on the lookout for when Bodmin moves North......... my monies on a midnight flit, as can you honestly see it getting a path up the WCML during the day? (and I'm not a gambling man!)

 

I thought I was the one accused of causing arguments on here. Seemed that way.

 

Why not? Its dead in tow, no motion connected, as long as its well lubricated its axle boxes its a a 75mph job isn't it?

 

No its limited to 60mph, so getting a path in the day time might be tricky!

 

Well its not pretty in its current state is it? They will have to throw a tarpaulin over it, lest it scares the kids going away on holidays.

 

JB, apparently couldn't afford one, so what do you expect? Considering its spent X number or years in the headshunt at Ropley it could be a lot worse! as for kids today being scared - I don't think so, given what they get up to on their X boxes & the like!

And Jeff, stop the stirring....... I'm not going to react in the way you want!

 

But, the Holland - Argentina game is soooooooo boring.

 

You're not wrong, but we digress

 

Apparently 34016 is coming up north today in the consist of 5M43, sandwiched between a pair of 57's and 2 coaches.
