    West Coast usually have a diesel stabled at York during the summer season, so it goes at the same time as the steam, saves another path.

    Presumably you'd also need 3 drivers and firemen instead of 1 diesel driver and minders on each loco.

    Hearing 60009 is now on Southall - Kidderminster vice 34067, no idea why. New RTT from Loco Services not Wcr too.... Also diverted via New Street.

    RTT frequently gets Southall Loco Services and Southall WCRC muddled up. I would not pay any attention to this. In fact I think 60009 is based at Southall WCRC.

    I presume that there is a problem with 34067, but I have no confirmation of this.
