If you really want the Liverpool waste containers produced you should also be asking for the FCA flats to be produced! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 There are small pockets of greenery in central London. At Dudding Hill Junction near Dollis Hill, along with the next box, Neasdon, which must be two of the last mechanically signalled boxes left in the capital, there is an infrequent freight service. Lunch time cab be busier and, although Real time had theses at 30 min intervals, non appeared until about 2pm and then four appeared within minutes of each other then nothing due for three hours. Fine apart from it being sub zero, light was never brilliant and one of my batteries failed due to the cold. Mike Wiltshire 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Back in Yorkshire. Still cold but the at least the sun shines. Various 66 movements. Nice to see Evening Star yesterday. Not seen it for a while. I expect 66779 to be out on PW workings in the North East, this weekend. Mike Wiltshire 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhauled I believe, the Taunton trip has been gaining more and more freshly painted wagons over the last year or so. 35 minutes ago, Peter Kazmierczak said: Right, so who's going to get the bucket and cloth to clean it?

They are able to treat S&C, which the others cannot. NR is investing in more I believe to replace those that can only do plain line. Excellent machines and in high demand, they are not allocated to a specific route like the plain line variants are. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen at Dr Days Junction, 66136 has dropped down Filton Bank with the inaugural working from Llanwern to Portbury, running as 6Z72 and carrying steel slab. Looking at an online shipping website, the steel looks like it could be bound for the Netherlands. I was bit disappointed when I heard the train was formed of BYAs, thinking that it'd be nice to be able to see the commodity, particularly as it's a new service. Lo and behold, 9 of the recently converted BYAs that have lost their hoods were at the front of the train, with 13 BAAs at the rear. Jo 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
