It was a special treat for drivers and operational staff who worked tirelessly through the season keeping the train running

 

I thought if was so it could be weathered without resorting to an airbrush...………...

Bit late to the party nick! Was mentioned yesterday with a pic (one page back)

 

Anyhoo the 50 has dragged the 56s back to Nottingham this afternoon for a well earned wash and service no doubt

The diagram near me starts at 22:37 and finishes 13:18 the next day Monday to Friday (with a revised schedule at weekends), so it's a mammoth effort!

 

Here's a picture from yesterday morning (train started on Friday) of 56078 and 56302.  It's probably the last train of the season, which has seen a variety of 56's, 66's and for a short time a Class 70/8.

Today I managed to catch the RHTT originating from Tonbridge yard that had been down to Brighton earlier, at Merstham heading North

Does any one know when these working are likely to cease as there aren't many leaves left on the trees now.

According to Real Time Trains the 11.13 RHTT from Grimsby to Bridlington on the 5th of December was cancelled throughout due to . WAIT FOR IT.

The Carlisle based RHTT wagon sets are off back To York Thrall Europe behind 66433 this morning but ended the season in style with 88010 hitching a ride on the rear.

With the RHTT season over for another year, wagon sets have returned to base and locomotives have been mostly cleaned up and resumed their usual duties.  

 

Except for this pair of DRS class 20s, 20302 and 20303 'Max Joule 1958 - 1999', which on 28th December remain in the parcels sidings adjacent to York station.
