RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 4, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) 73136 and 73201 trail the GBRf's 'This Time it's Personal' railtour at Charlton Down, just south of Petersfield - 3rd September. Later on in the day... ...the same pair lead the tour into Eastleigh. They should have been relieved by 73141 and 73212, but they disgraced themselves and remained skulking in the GBRf sidings to the north of the station.

eastwestdivide Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) A 73 sandwich today, 47749 towing 73969 and 92014 from Doncaster to Leicester, here passing Rotherham. One for the unlikely combinations category: half way between London and Scotland, a Western Region 'namer', a Southern electro-diesel and a Channel Tunnel freight loco, two of them in Caledonian Sleeper livery.

It really hasn't had a lot of use, so I am not surprised. What would surprise me is if it isn't snapped up by another user, or preserved, fairly rapidly.
