Yes, I was just about to suggest similar based on its very late start from Tyne Yard and its very protracted journey across to Carlisle.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Stonehaven tragedy still in Network Rail’s collective consciousness, I imagine that the safety of the crew of 6Z78 was of particular concern. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) For me at least this has to be RHTT of the year… last year we had 56091 on RHTT running with a 69 in South London, bringing a 56 to south london for the first time in years. But tonight I believe was a first… https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U62187/2023-10-29/detailed#allox_id=0 57305/6 have been running around the SE the last few weeks and covered some well known lines for 57’s on railtours, namely Dorking, Reigate, Redhill etc. (surrey hills circuit) etc. But West Croydon to Sutton afaik is unknown territory for a class 57 ever before, wcrc 57’s have done Streatham to Sutton, but West Croydon to Sutton is rare mileage for railtours generally, only 3 steam tours since the 1960’s and only very occasional for anything else (2014 I recall a DRS trip, and 34046 on the football special in 2016, I think 1 other c2021). They also covered Sutton to Wimbledon earlier today also, another line not known for class 57’s and infrequent for railtours (though for the first time in years a 73119+Thumper+66794 did cover this line in the summer on the Chessie Ned Railtour). So new territory for a 57, unless anyone knows differently. Seen at Carshalton Beeches.. Edited October 29, 2023 by adb968008 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted November 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2023 The Arun Valley seems a lot less interesting in terms of RHTT so far this year (no Tonbridge circuits as far as I can see - they are all turning back at Horsham). We are currently on a strict diet of Horsham MPVs... DR98916 and DR98966 form the 3S93 05:51 Horsham TC - Horsham TC via Havant and Lewes (did not get as far as Eastbourne) past Pulborough on 2nd November. Given the stormy weather, there was certainly the need for the RHTT today! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately platform was empty It's allowed to spray through the station. Wouldn't be much point in treating the approach the leaving the rails though the station contaminated as a unit stopping there could end up sliding straight through 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
