Annual Posting 1A40 Night Riviera Penzance To Paddington 2016 Class 57 Survey

[Co-tr-Paul]

With 2017's Hornby Christmas wagon pre-ordered, its time again for the numbers for our train. With only 3 blue coaches left and the first new seated interior in service its all been go in 2016 and yet again, a big rise in custom.

There were 307 timetabled up Riviera services.

Only 5 were not 57 hauled.

Only TWO were down to train failure (and 1 of those was DRS....).

2 services started further up line due to fire and flood (literally!).

12 were either double headed or top n' tailed.

So; individually :

602 3 and still awaiting spares from the US since march

603 86 and takes the record for most use in 2016, has been 605 for some 4 years.

604 82

605 76

303 34

306 16

310 16

If the numbers don't add up, despite every trip recorded, its my counting....!!

 

Happy 2017 !

Brilliant! I clocked the 68s but my location sees very few of anything else other than 57/08s so makes it difficult to record. Keep it up !

602 has cylinder problems and now 603 is now smoking too !
