Be interesting to see if 029 still takes the train to Boston tonight..

It did indeed, 6Z94 finally arrived 601 late, no schedules currently showing for Boston SS so I assume both 029 & 055 are staying there overnight

60028 was pressed into service to take 89001 on a delayed 1625 0X89 Toton to Barrow Hill and then returned solo as 1828 0F54

Revised schedule for 6Z96 cancelled off, but a schedule for 6Z97 (21:00 ex-Boston to Willesden) showing. Booked via the ECML. We'll see.

Departed Boston 22:03hrs. Consist only shows 029 coming back from Boston - Willesden. That would suggest 055 dumped at Boston.

Edit:
Confirmed 055 still at Boston.

6Z97 lost another 2 hours at Peterborough and then picked up a bit to reach Willesden 141 late, a quick cuppa for 029 and it left almost on time with 0503 6Z60 to Westbury Down TC, hopefully more success with tonights 6Z94, can't see any schedules currently to get 055 back to Toton

on rear of the Boston steel to Toton tonight.

Somebody on Rail Record a little over ambitious reporting 60055 as the only loco on the Boston steel .....

60029 worked last nights 2313 6Z94 Westbury Down TC to Boston without drama and is due to return south this afternoon

There’s a Toton to Eastleigh LE move showing tomorrow, running down the southern end of the WCML - any thoughts what it might be?

I don't know what it is, it might be worth you making an enquiry in the Non-urgent TOPS thread, someone there should be able to assist with the details of it.:)

Seen on Twitter that it has 50008 in tow.... gutted that I have a meeting that I don’t think I can get out of
I luckily have got college all done today, so I can see it. It meant though I missed the 50's + 360 move again though. We can't catch every thing sadly. :rolleyes: :(

I can add some images when they are ready if you'd like.

Yes I noticed that too. I was literally just going to say about it and you beat me to it.
I’m at Bletchley and can see it at the moment.
I’m wondering if it has failed and a support loco will have to be sought.

I just see someone with a hi vis walking around it.

I did manage to get it at Wolverton and thought I’d try and get it a Bletchley too, but I’ll have to see what happens with that.

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
