Grimleygrid Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I noticed that yesterday DB only had two of their 59/2s in traffic with two at Merehead and two at Crewe. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with them? Before DB started moving them around they appeared to be very reliable and hardly out of traffic. Are those out of traffic under maintenance or on exam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 You might be right Beast! Thanks for the information Dan very helpful. I think 205 and 206 have been out of use for a few weeks now. We shall see what happens, perhaps that is why a few more 60s have returned to traffic as cover. Margam and Warrington seemed to be where they were destined to go but 60s have returned there.

Steadfast Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 grimley, according to tops as of 10:03 today are as follows:_ 59201:- currently on 7C29 westbury to merehead 59002:- arrived whatley on 6C25 allocated 6L21 hope thats of some use. seems ARC runs theres and get more out of them than any of the others. Hello Dan, Thanks for sharing that list, very useful! I don't suppose you, or anyone else, knows if 59201 was swapped with 59002 this afternoon. I was at Crofton all afternoon, and 59201 passed on what looked very much like a slightly late 6L21. Heard the horn, and was a bit shocked to see an EWS livery 59 crawling round the bend, expecting to see a Yeoman Confirmation of this would be greatly appreciated cheers jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacRat Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ... 59003:- stored out of use in germany ... Hi Dan tried to search for 59003 online to check if it's near my place and found a picture of it working a goods train. According to the EXIF data it was taken today --> http://www.bahnbilde...%28HHPI%29.html . Other pictures show it working on May 14th and 16th, too. It's currently working near Berlin, as it appears - way to far away from here to hunt it. Cheers Mac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
