I guess it's whatever was on TV in your region at the time of broadcast. There must be a way to get a specific link...

Just has another look and can't find 'South Today' on iplayer now! Missed the lunchtime version...will see if I can find later. One interesting comment which was stressed a couple of times is restrictions being placed on Network Rail wrt felling/cutting down trees in comparison with local environment to railways in steam era due to fire risk!

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted October 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2018 The RHTT diagram that worked through Barnsley about 10 mins ago is in the hands of 20007 & 20205. Cheers, Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2018 They can't make their mind up with 3J11 37s, then 66, then 37, 66 and now back to 37s.... 37422/424 have worked 3J11 for the past 2-3 days. Lets see if they come back again in a few hours on their marathon 20.5 hour diagram. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDG Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Blimey Mick that is a long diagram. Does that formation have the extra flat with the 3 water tanks, or do they have to fill up somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2018 Blimey Mick that is a long diagram. Does that formation have the extra flat with the 3 water tanks, or do they have to fill up somewhere? 3 wagons - 8 tanks and one jetting unit in the middle. I can only presume they refill back at Kingmoor. When it first started it was two wagons with 5 water tanks and regularly ran out of water. The diagram does change a little bit on different nights of the week - it runs 6 days, only not setting out on a Saturday. Swapped to 66s for tonight as it passed me.

jamesg Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 66104 (DB red) and 56302 (Colas orange) worked Monday's 22:37 Gloucester Horton Road to Cheltenham Lansdown Loop RHTT via Craven Arms, Oxford & Kings Norton. It was previously worked by 56096 and 56105. The 66 and 56 made for a colourful train, as neither has had the chance to get too dirty yet. Information seen online suggests that 56105 was taken out for tyre turning at St Philips Marsh. It worked 0Z56 today from Bristol St Philips Marsh to Crewe Basford Hall.

eastwestdivide Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 A couple of phone photos from the Medway Towns. 66 crossing Strood High Street from the Maidstone direction yesterday, 18/10/18: 73 crossing Rochester Bridge from Tonbridge via Swanley today, 19/10/18: 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) And another from yesterday as the sun was setting, the 73s again in Strood, at the foot of Sole Street bank. Rochester Bridge and castle on the far right. I think it's spraying at this point: I've got a photo of the same view from the same bridge of a 73 on light blue tanks from 30-plus years ago (the Bowater TTA china clay tanks), but I can't lay my hands on it at the moment for a comparison. I'm sure I've posted it on here, but can I find it? Nowadays only a phone with a tiny lens, like that on a phone, can take a shot through the mesh on the bridge.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted October 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) On weekdays the Rhymney branch is visited by DB locos based at Margam. On Sundays DB have sub-contracted to Colas who operate 3S59 circular from Bristol Barton Hill. 66.850 and 66.847 are seen at Bargoed last night 21Oct18. Not sure we've ever had the planned use of 2 different company locos on the same branch in the same season?

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) 37s on the northern circuit again. Making quite a noise past work earlier - I really must go and get a pic. It looks like the pattern is 37s on Friday/Sunday and 66s on Monday-Thursday. Possibly freeing up 66s for weekend engineering work. EDIT: 37's on it again tonight... Must get a pic tomorrow!
