I'm certainly not going to argue with info supplied by the photographers on Flickr so it would seem that 60029 is making another appearance, for the third consecutive day, on the Humber to Kingsbury tanks, with around 30 on it's getting a good workout

60028 worked an early running 1700 6Z61 Worksop Down Reception to Doncaster Down Decoy

Confirmed by @Tom Maddox 029 has returned today on 1727 0M24 Immingham TMD to Toton TMD, seems like a successful few days trial

60028 worked 0530 6Z62 Doncaster Down Decoy to Rossington Loading Point and then an early running 1500 6Z63 to Chaddesden

Are any Chiltern Mk3s due to be moved in the near future, or are all of them now through the current round of exams?

Only three 60s at Toton. 60046 is at Wembley Yard.

Ah, I see that now, 2130 0Z60 Toton to Wembley HS via Lincoln yesterday, thanks



*Updated 20 August*

60046 finally managed a run today working 0400 0Z92 Wembley HS to Willesden and 0513 6Z92 to Westbury Down TC, previous scheduled runs this week had been cancelled due to overhead damage on the Down Willesden Relief which was stopping any movement into or out of the DCR sidings



*Updated 21 August*

60046 worked back today with loaded 0915 6Z93 Westbury Down TC to Willesden

It looks as though there may be something this weekend, there is currently an STP schedule on RTT for a 1246 Wembley LMD to Bristol BH WRD on saturday, although much may happen before then of course, it's just a one way trip as the loco is then scheduled on to Eastleigh

60046 worked 1055 6Z94 Willesden to Eastleigh Marshalling Yard with 24 JNAs arriving an hour early

Is 56091 not usable at the moment? Looks to be quite a while since last used.

I don't think it had any problems before April, my personal guess is that it's been temporarily laid up because of the Covid downturn and would be back out working if it was required, 56103 and the 60s on rotation seem to be able to handle the current workload well enough

A very early start today for 60055 on 0200 6Z94 Willesden to Westbury Down TC meeting up with 60029 on 0709 6Z90 Southampton Up Yard to Westbury, one or both are scheduled to work a loaded 2313 6Z94 Westbury to Boston Sleaford Sdgs via Wembley

No idea what's going on, 6Z94 has been sitting there for almost 6 hours now and no rescue loco from Toton, 60028 is currently at Toton but, presumably, is there for maintenance and unavailable, has the 'warranty' on 055 expired or are DBC unable to supply a loco? 60029 is on its way to Grantham as 1130 0Z60 from Willesden with 0Z89 to Toton cancelled, 029 is not due to arrive at Grantham until 1501

091 is awaiting an exam.

Thanks for the update @56091, I hope they're gentle when they do the exam on you ..........
