801209 has been back for some time, though it’s (unrelatedly) out of traffic today.

It did run on to Zbaszynek on Tuesday this week (I was on the outward run).

91124 should be out on test this coming Wednesday.

Malaysia has (exclusively) diesel loco hauled services between Johor Bahru & Gemas. These are due to go over to new units by next year, once the complete line upgrade is finished. Also the Woodlands - Johor Bahru Sentral (Singapore - Malaysia) shuttle is diesel hauled, top & tail. This takes 5...

Was in Albania (Tirana / Durres / Elbasan) at the weekend. Managed fine with research beforehand, including internal buses within Albania (necessary as not everywhere has info obvious, times at the locations themselves etc), and travelled by railway Plazh - Elbasan. Usual caveats apply though...

Not a good day on the ECML today. As it stands there’s a small handful of cancellations / part cancellations tomorrow due to set displacement. There are also crewing implications still to factor in, for those who have bust their hours from today.

40mph for approx 30 miles in the current plan.

Thanks, appreciated :-) Mum also says thanks, she’ll mull it over!

Slightly random question, but: Does anyone still have the Daily Mail from 11 December please? My Mums paper has (was purchased with) a large clue ink splodge over the cryptic crossword clue for 26 down, making it illegible. If anyone knows what the clue was, it’d be appreciated (for what it’s...

1Y67 started Preston, 1Y68 & 1N51 cancelled throughout (running ECS both ways), traincrew shortages. 1Y67 is seen approaching Salford Crescent

Availability of Craigentinny now put back from original estimate. Revised plans being drawn up for tonight, may also have some impact in the morning, but the extent is currently TBC.

On 20/09/23, your loco was 91111 if that helps. Ironically on 20/09/23, this UK resident was in Sydney, about to catch the Indian Pacific across to Perth!
