Edinburgh Junction Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Just been searching around, and found out that the pendolino drag from Holyhead to Crewe, the headcode was 1A55.... now, from a few months ago, it was the 1A16.... Just to ask any of you, does anyone know how this changed? As I don't seem to know why I got it wrong. It is now officially the 1A55, not the 1A16... very confused. Does anyone know why? Anyway, the Arriva TW WAG loco is having a swap over, and 57314 with 57307 coupled up to 390007 is making its way home to Crewe now, so obviously, a different WAG locomotive trundled over with 307 to be able to do a swap around... should be good! lol Cheers Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh Junction Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yep! Or this Why is the headcode different? When did it change from 1A16 to 1A55? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 9, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2010 Changed when the timetable changed in December - it's probably been put into it's correct sequence, the codes for trains arriving at Euston appear to be sequential based on the booked arrival time, the old 1A15 will have been out of sequence. For info 1Rxx trains travel via Northampton and 1Axx use the main line South of Rugby (or use to until the tt change in December, I assume it's still the same) hth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 9, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2010 Not sure what you are after Paul It passed me at speed and it was quite dull so not the best to get any detail shots ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Baron Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 LOL that will do, the excuse "look I bought you a loco this time - it even has pink nameplates" was not being taken seriously by SWMBO so some real evidence can only aid the cause!

Edinburgh Junction Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 So Jack, (nice vid) any idea why 307 failed? Thanks RB! I don't know why it failed. when I saw 57314 on the drag last time, on its own, that was due to a VT 57 breaking down. Infact, it was 57307 last time... It must have some sort of problem with Holyhead.... Thats the second time its happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 10, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 10, 2010 It failed a couple of weeks ago with a train heat fault but no-one seems to know what happened yesterday. A UID 57 was seen passing Conway at about 09:00 this morning, heading for Holyhead, presumably for Mondays WAG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinsley-toton Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The 57/Pendo had a TPWS brake demand (None driver error) at Llandudno Junction yesterday afternoon, maybe the loco change was something to do with that. Was stopped for approx 15 mins. T-T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
