RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2014 Maybe it's worth waiting for 70802 (with it's correct paint job......) to arrive and shift all four at once. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2014 70801 on the move from Cardiff to Eastleigh today yesterday in preparation for driver training http://www.flickr.com/photos/61022474@N08/12526442093/in/photolist-k5VhPx Gen lists indicate that it'll be finally running out on the main line under it's own power next week.

40044 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 A post on the Liverpool-Rail Yahoo group suggests that the 3 at Seaforth will be lifted to rail on Monday. Still no word on any forward movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouser999 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Having passed by the docks on my way home at 17:00 I could see that the 3 locos have been moved. I could not see if they were on the rails but the engine room hoods/ doors were open and being worked on. One loco had been moved closer to the rail entrance to the container base making it easier to view from the public highway. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith George Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 70801 moving under it's own power! http://www.flickr.com/photos/46282519@N07/12590822264/in/photolist-kbBfNu-k5VhPx And thanks to Jim's RTT link - showing it back at Eastleigh http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O75366/2014/02/17/advanced Cheers, Mick At 16.00 the two 56s, 56113 and 56094 were waiting on a middle road at Bristol Temple Meads with no sign of 70801. I had just gone past Bristol Barton hill depot and there was no sign of it there either. Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) My understanding is that 70801 today did Eastleigh - Westbury with 56302 Westbury - Barton Hill with 56113 and 56094 Barton Hill - Eastleigh solo before working Eastleigh - Westbury engineers 56113 and 56094 left Barton Hill for South Wales jo Edited February 17, 2014 by ewsjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
