eastwestdivide Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Last journey for some HST coaches last week, a consignment from Dundee to Booths at Rotherham. I think the coaches had been used temporarily by Scotrail while other were still being refurbished. The coaches are being hauled by a loco older than the coaches being scrapped, and are surrounded by barrier/brake force coaches also older than the coaches being scrapped! ย They let it through Swinton ahead of a TransPennine to Manchester, but held it at the signal between Masboro and Holmesย while the TP overtook via Rotherham Central. Otherwise another 10-15 mins delay while the reversal took place over Holmes crossing: ย The train then pulls forward so that it clears a groundย signal near the bridge visible here, then reverses with in this case a lookout seen here riding in the rear coach. I've seen trains of other stock arriving where the train is walked in by someone on the ground: ย And entering the siding into Booths: Edited March 29, 2021 by eastwestdivide typo 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me Jack, I think that your shots areย pretty impressiveย if you were using your camera atop a pole at 7.5m. ย Be careful though with those power lines in the background. ย Thanks for posting.

(that market already saturated and has claimed a fair few new entrant victims over the years), rolling stock movements?

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 I reckon the rabid frothing I have seen today on social media about these may well turn to disappointment as a lot of people thing these are for UK rail tour use!!ย Explains the lack of yellow panels.ย Bit of a non news story really from the UK operations point of view and that article linked to in the previous post is equally unclear, for example, what is this load ofย cobblers: ย What we want to avoid is, for example, using a current product of a locomotive manufacturer to transport the prototype of another competing company, which can lead to conflicts of interest with our customers. ย I just find the whole thing, the way it has been presented as a bit odd.... ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
