BR(S) Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is the a Class 67 also for these trains?

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted April 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is it just the light, but to me 67004 and the coaches look to be in completely different shades of blue, despite them supposed to be the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best picture I've been able to find so far for a comparison is this one (we needed the coaches to be the other way round!). They look like they're different colours, with the coaches being darker: Class 67 Sercos Sleeper by Mark Thornton 29, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2015 73966 has been seen at Brsuh, Loughborough carrying the Caledonian midnight teal livery............ Searching for linkable pics.... EDIT: There is one on the wnxx news page, but subscriber only. No doubt some will appear on the popular photo sites soon enough.

surfsup Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Is it just the light, but to me 67004 and the coaches look to be in completely different shades of blue, despite them supposed to be the same. Don't forget though that there will be a slight colour difference as the Locos are painted, while the coaches are just being covered in full height vinyls for now. Now a colour variation between locos however... Interesting choice with 67010 Joining the Caley Sleeper fleet - Unless it has now been modified, it wasn't one of the Scottish ones with Brake Modifications but an ex Chiltern one.

Coach bogie Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Whlist in Harrow last week, I braved an early start and took these at Northwick Park. I missed the Glasgow/Edinburgh but caught the Aberdeen with the tattiest 90 020 I have seen in a while Yet the dedicated 92 038 followed later that morning light engine Next morning 92 033 on the Glasgow/Edinburgh but cleaner 90 037 on the Aberdeen Mike Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerr Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yet the dedicated 92 038 followed later that morning light engine 92038 appears to be a jinx Although it has only failed twice, each time it operates the sleeper it ends up severely late However, it seems to continually run light engine behind the sleepers (after events of a few weeks ago) It has been noted numerous times recently between Crewe - Rugby - Willesden It would appear that Serco have decided to throw money at this contract in the short term, again after the events of a few weeks ago The (expected) fines from April 2015 will have pretty much ended up in a small loss Furthermore, there are in effect three sets of fines for the one incident, whereas all other (anglo-Scottish) TOC only receive two So rather than impact on the high demand WCML section, and associated fine, a spare loco is now provided It is still not known what spare loco arrangements will be in place later this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Saw 86 401 at willsden yard in its new livery. It looks like it's had a name change too. I used to pass it every day in its faded NSE livery. I was quite fond of that livery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinRae Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They do look stunning and I was involved in the presentation models for launch day. r3sprays now have transfers available for all loco classes and coaches in the new SERCO Caledonian Sleeper livery www.r3sprays.co.uk/decals-transfers-c38.html Early BR blue is a close match for the colour required.

Talltim Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Last night (Saturday) and tonight 66423 (DRS) hauled the Inverness portion north from Carlisle after 67009 refused to play (and presumably back from Inverness too). The 67 was kept in the train and provided ETS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The southbound sleeper was hauled by 66710 (GBRf) leading 67004 from Edinburgh last night, before being caped at Milton Keynes as it was running 184 minutes late and there was a fatality at Leighton Buzzard 66710 by AJF 1, on Flickr The ECS was taken south by 92010 with the other two locos still on the train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not gonna happen, only the 87 has a high enough ETS rating for load 16, and stock balancing reasons mean they rarely run with less when bookings are light. There is a spare class 87 transformer available so in theory another loco could be brought up to have an ETS of 95, but it isn't a quick fix. But then again, there is a need for a loco on load 8 with the lowland portion to Edinburgh and ecs back to Polmadie... 86101 has now sucessfully worked enough 16 coach services without blowing its ETS fuse to be accepted as an alternative, although this might change if the load is particularly high during hot or cold weather.
