GWR Unit movements, performance & cascades

[PHILIPE]

I have started a new thread to avoid the off topic postings on the GWR Livery thread especially as their is quite a lot of ongoing activity at the moment.
The 'Q' 5C02 path from Exeter to St Philips Marsh is operating today with 143617, 143620 and 150129. The 143s have been going to PM quite frequently recently to use the wheel lathe and new wheelsets. 150129, I assume, is to work a "Cripple" home for repairs unable to be attended to at Exeter.

57209 and 57212 both went by road to Doncaster last night so 150925 and 150925 back to 2 Car. Watch this space for re-numbering

I think most of your intended subject matter will come up here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...to-bristol-region-services-this-month.146681/
That thread could possibly have had a better title though - just when is "this month"...
I do agree that the livery thread has become to much of a general GW discussion topic, but that was predictable...

5C02 13+03 Exeter to PM ran again today reportedly with 143603, 150127, 150123 and 143611. ? Wheel lathe jobs although 603 may be wheelsets.

150102, 150104, 150106, 150108, 150122 and 150124 are now officially Northern units but don't rush around to look for them in Northern territory yet as they have been sub-leased back to GWR presumably until more Turbos have come west. Just a paper exercise at the moment.

A question to you PHILPE
How many 3 car 23m coach trains does GWR need running around the Bristol area before it sends ANY 2 car 20m coach 150/1 trains to Northern ???
Currently GWR have 4 units in use.

Anyone no what hst unit gwr are releasing to Doncaster , it’s iminent apparently

I believe some GWR units have now been spotted up north, unsure of which units are now officially with Northern. Is this sub-leasing similar to SWR sending us a 158 for use?

The 150/1s are starting to go off lease which are heading to Northern.

Other way around, these units are technically sub leased from Northern back to GWR.

LA01 (well part of it) was delivered to Doncaster on Saturday, with the other part and power cars 43037/126 going forward to Haymarket as the second training set.

LA12 was taken to Ely for store as well, with 43143/146 then going to Brush.

At least one GWR 150 has arrived at Northern and is stabled at their Newton Heat Depot, I saw it myself this morning at about 11:25
