TODAY…..As previously mentioned by others…Black 5 44871 and WC 47746 on 1Z87 VIC to EBN. Then following a break, EBN to HGS. Then HGS to VIC. Source RailRecord…many thanks.

Should be an easy run as very little else moving around the network.

 

Apart from NRs 153 DMU…..153385

2Q32 Tonbridge West Yard to Tonbridge West Yard Via RDH, HHE, BTN, LWS, then LWS, BTN, LWS, HHE (via CBR), TBD, HRH then back to TON via RDH. Already 22 late at RDH but will easily make it up as nothing else about. 
This should work either just in front of or just behind Freightliner’s Newhaven to Willesden Southwest Sidings.

Having missed the tour at Hampden Park - Eastbourne buses seem to travel the most circuitous routes possible - doubtless to serve their communities well, I ended up back at EBN . I won't stuff my snaps in here as there some good quality pictures here already. If you want to see them they are in my album -

Probs a bit late unless anyone catches on the way back to London but Royal Scotsman 66746 was on the GBRf Newhaven working this morning. As it is floating around the patch it might be on tomorrow’s working…. if it runs…..

Engineers train through Barnham this morning:

 

The wagon formations are a bit dull now, I used to like it where you would see a couple of grotty old OAA/OBA/OCA rattling along at the back.

It may have been mentioned on here before but there appears to be a new working or re-routed working from Westbury Tarmac to Crawley New Yard via the West Coastway….gen from the excellent Railrecord. 
 

it is also shown as a path on Jan 11th so hopefully this is an additional working. 
 

Today’s loco is rumoured to be 59102.

The part of the working relevant to Sussex……

Seems to be an out and back trip on all weekdays except Tuesdays according to my reliable sources, Merehead to Crawley New Yard via the Coastway West and Arun Valley and return working in the evening.

 

A 59 was on it today.

 

Explains all the Freightliner route learning trips a few weeks back.

Network Rail Class 153 153376 is spending the weekend snuggled down in the old freight bay platform at Barnham.  There is a picture somewhere of the Bulleid Leader 36001 in exactly the same position somewhere!!!

Network Rail Class 153 153376 Barnham 17/12/23
