Excellent - thank you @LA50041. 1618391816 Thank you @sd0733 . Combining your answer with the one from @LA50041 , the one I didn't ID on Monday must have been 150258.

Please could someone identify for me what the following three CF based DMUs were doing (or where they were stabled spare) upon Monday 12th April? 150252 150258 153367 Thanks very much!

I was passing Derby Road station (in Ipswich) this morning just after 9 AM and saw a couple of class 755s which I'd like to identify if anyone can assist, please? The train IDs were 2R07 and 2R08. Thank you!

Thank you 37078xotTE - it's managed to escape again (hoping it would have passed York today).

As we await HMG's daily update regarding Covid-19, could some kind soul check today's whereabouts of 158791 for me, please? Last noted working out of HT about a week ago (although that might be rather fluid, I feel). Thank you!

In fact, today's move was a VSTP which apparantly comprised 142 035/055/047. So with another 3 next week, Gascoigne Wood'll soon be filling up again!

Just spotted a STP for a HT to Gascoigne Wood move on 10th March: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K00225/2020-03-10/detailed Since it's not shown as being operated by Northern, max. of 3 units?

Interesting - are both units used or is one there as "insurance" purposes only? RTT seems to suggest that all the route learning runs can be covered by just one unit.

There's a Youtube video taken at Chillingham Road Metro station footbridge that shows most of the southern end of the depot (which is handily where the Pacers are stored, in four adjacent sidings). Passing on a mainline train should also show them BUT if there's one or more trains in for...

I was under the impression that C F Booth was going to play a larger role in the disposal of the Pacers, yet to date only 142 005/044 have moved there (by road from NH). Does anyone know if Rotherham is to be the final destination for any further 142s (or indeed if they have their eye on the...

Brilliant - thanks very much 37078xotTE. Last time I saw that engine at Ipswich in 1978, the maker's plate had been removed on one cabside (at least), revealing the original brunswick green underneath!

Good morning - could someone post what 158 791 is doing today, please? Thanks in advance.

I saw the majority last Thursday (16th), as noted below: Seen at Rochdale: 142 011 + 150 117 Rochdale to Blackburn service, I think NH - 142 055, 142 061 (might have been more but view obstructed). Seen at Victoria between 12:00 and 14:00: 142 047 + 150 125 Clitheroe to Rochdale 142 036 + 150...

Very true, although taking an old washing machine along in the boot of your car might be quicker :lol:

There is a way for a member of the public to legitimately visit EMR's site at Kingsbury - see here: https://uk.emrlocal.com/regions/how-you-can-sell-to-us/ and here: https://uk.emrlocal.com/kingsbury-scrap-metal You'll need to take something that they will buy for scrap, though! Bear in mind...
