    I managed to cop 59003 whilst she was stabled in Tuebrook sidings. These were the photos I got of the loco, standing on a stepladder whilst leaning over the bridge that separates Tuebrook sidings and Edge Hill. Does anyone know the reasons why she has come up north? Some people have said it's for Drax trials, and some others have said for banking duties. https://www.flickr.com/photos/79947445@N04/21927367908/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/79947445@N04/21928340329/in/dateposted-public/

    Presumably, the 37/4s will be better in the long run for DRS. It would free up 6 locos for other duties yes, but with some non-ETS fitted 37s still in service DRS may wish to withdraw a few locos and plug the gap with 37/4s, the parts from the non-ETS fitted 37s being transferred into 37/4s. It also depends on how many locos they might need on standby. I did hear on a gen group that 37413 at Bury was to be swapped for 37510. Does anyone know if this is getting the go ahead?

    It might be worth staying on at Kingmoor and then going to Carlisle station, as the Cumbrian Mountain Express rail tour is due into Carlisle on the same day with a 'yet to be arranged' steam loco on the front. Another tour 'The Lakes & Borders Railtour' is also due to arrive in Carlisle with a class 68 at the helm. If you are on any gen groups like backline gen or north-west gen, then you will probably get reports of the 37s working the Cumbrian sets on the day.

    I was the same, in the process of 'vestibule vegging' behind 37606 I very nearly passed out through Arnside! Also, does anyone know of the progress of 37407 and 424?

    A night at the TMD provided a chance for a couple of shots.. Load Haul 60059 passes visiting classmate 60074 on a Liverpool bound empty coal hopper train. Over at the TMD, 66504 and De-branded 66612 sit in idle preparing to work an engineers train. Much later on, A chiltern 168 well off-the-beaten-track is seen going for overhaul on an ECS, passing 57003 waiting in the loco holding siding. Thats all for now! Cheers, Ellis

    Having had a look at the video I took of the same train i can confirm that the driver had the wrong lights on! The right hand marker light was on and having looked closely he still had the tail lights on! If any other lights appear off then that is a result of the camera in the iPad
