    I thought I saw on UK Steam yesterday that 44932 was running 'light' today along the WCML to be in position for it's forthcoming tours in the south. However, as of this morning there seems to be no move at all. Was that an error on UK Steam and it is already in the south? Is the move still happening? Or was I under the influence and didn't see it at all?

    Regards,

    Paul

    Well, 44932 is due off Southall at 0400 tomorrow, so if she's not there already she'll need to move today. However, UKsteam doesn't always get notification of all the light engine moves in advance, so just because it's not listed there, doesn't mean it's not happening.

    I'm told that 44932 is already at Southall. Today's move is probably just the ECS.

    The loco and support coach were due to run today as 5Z91 06:00 Carnforth to Southall arriving at 14:01.
    Due to the loco already being at Southall the move was cancelled. <BJ>
