Today. 66154 on 646V Newhaven Day Aggregates to Acton TC, running 1 minute late, passing Hamsey AHBC with the ‘Ratty Rake’ of very loud ex TML (Yeoman PXA) wagons. Part of my social distanced daily exercise close to home before anyone goes off on one.  :)

6V00

? 6V00..? 
 

It often sits at Newhaven as default 6V00 then the code is changed prior to departure.

 

Ran as 646V on Sussextrains.co.uk live feed map. Also.....

646V is the masked id, it hides the true reporting code as some companies don't like the true code being shown on diagrams, the real headcode is 6V00 (in that case)

Aha, thanks for the explanation. I thought that it was the other way round. So he 12:11 departure is always 6V00 as the reporting number, however the number it was showing up on Real-time, Sussextrains live feed and Railrecord as 677G....

 

thanks for the heads up. : )

Tuesdays bicycle ride as part of my daily exercise saw Burton on Trent to Cardiff Tidal empties returning south.

 

Great to see none bogie wagons still in use, VGA vans originally built in the early 1980s, when I were a lad.

A quick grab shot whilst playing golf today. Thanks to a wayward tee shot, I ended up on the wrong fairway with a relatively clear view. (If I had been on the fairway of the hole I was playing, there would have been trees to obscure the picture.

66709 Sorrento drifts down the hill at Langho with 6M90 Avonmouth-Cltheroe cement.

Despite the errant shot, I parred the hole!

That’s one 66 I’ve still not driven!

 

i remember we had it at fastline for a couple of days when it was in black livery and I missed it then and I’ve yet to get on it with GBRF too

It'll probably be on the Avonmouth for about 3 weeks or so if other recent locos are anything to go by.

Hmmm, I have part of a pen-y-fordd to Avonmouth on Tuesday evening wonder if it will be the same rake doing that run? 

 

I think the Penyfford is currently running as a full JPA rake

The Clitheroe seems to be a mix of about 5x JPA, with around 15 PCAs.

(As 6M90 trundled by, I did see that there were at least four of my model graffiti PCAs in the set)

No Freightliner workings to Newhaven so far this week. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Two Colas locos have been showing up on an overnight possession in the Eastbourne area but heading back way too early for me to go see them.
