If it's 60055 that's failed then Toton won't have much to shout about, first trip out for 055 after failing at Grantham a few weeks back, at least 60029 is currently at Willesden
Apparently 60055 failed due to a loss of power. 60029 did indeed head up to rescue 60055 & 50008 and is taking them to Willesden DCR, running as 0Z99

Thanks - some really nice shots there
Thanks, no problem. 60029 was a great bonus. :D 2 60's + a 50 at the same time is something I've never seen until now.:D

Thanks for the pictures @221101 Voyager

Have you had a look on Hanson & Hall facebook? some pics of Thunderer at Bristol
No problem.

No, I'll have a look later on FB thanks for the info. I had never seen a 50 until I saw 50049 at Crewe open day last year, since then I've become a big fan of them.:D

That's one hell of a journey from Leicester to Hoo, 10 hours and 280 miles, maybe something to do with todays consist which had 56103 on 0713 0Z56 Bristol BH WRD to Long Marston collecting a railvac, loader and 20 of the temporarily stored new JNAs on 1128 6X56 to Humberstone Road

Lost all of its time between Sleaford and Boston so presumably a local problem, I noticed last night that this afternoons return seems to have been altered to a termination at Doncaster, nothing currently showing after that **

Noticed this has appeared, this morning and tomorrow morning. Should I read anything into the 6Z60 headcode?


Nothing happening this morning and, as yet, no schedule to get a loco to Willesden for tomorrow either


** 60046 worked 1421 6Z57 Boston to Doncaster this afternoon and continued as 1737 6Z58 to Carlisle NY via Durham & Hexham

Yes, 6Z55 came down via Hexham, interestingly it looks as though the train may stay at Boston over the weekend and return to Carlisle on monday

60029 had a short starring role on York ROC 1 railcam this morning before working 0937 0Z60 to Gascoigne Wood Sdgs

That’s interesting. There is a line possession on this weekend.

It left on 6Z60.

60046 back at Chaddesden with 6Z60 from Boston

60029 worked 1230 6Z20 Gascoigne Wood Sdgs to Shirebrook WH Davis with 10 (ex)Freightliner coal hoppers for conversion, this service was changed in mid flight at Toton Centre to terminate at Chaddesden instead

Schedules are currently showing for an early morning trip from Chaddesden to Norfolk and Lancashire


*Updated 12th December*


Todays scheduled trip was for Chaddesden - Middleton Towers - Ravenhead with a return to Chaddesden tomorrow, RTT showing it this morning as cancelled so whether it was actually intended to run is not clear

Info from a man in the know says that 6Z20 is now due to run to Shirebrook on monday as night time shunting is not permitted at WH Davis


*Updated 14th December*


Just 60046 working today with 0939 6Z20 Chaddeden to Shirebrook WH Davis with the 10 hoppers for conversion and then 1236 0Z60 to Toton where it will undergo graffiti removal courtesy of a weekend visit from a moronic vandal and their spray can

Are DCR likely to be involved in what I believe are HS2 spoil movements between Willesden and Northfleet - paths for which have recently appeared?

As things currently stand I'm not sure anyone can tell, the route learning/refreshing for Barrington hasn't resulted in any actual trips yet nor has the Carlisle to Seaton route learning from six or seven months ago, hopefully things will become clearer in the new year



Just 60029 out today on Dudding Hill routes working 0853 0Z60, 1146 0Z62 & 1417 0Z64 Willesden to West Hampstead Thamelink and 0934 0Z61, 1220 0Z63 & 1525 0Z65 returns
