Actually failed at bicester Wednesday 07th July 2021.Does anyone know what happened to 37688?
Thanks for your replyActually failed at bicester Wednesday 07th July 2021.
68008 rescued it.
37667 took it back to crewe for repairs on Thursday 08th July 2021.
Am I the only one who thinks it looks incredibly tacky? The base colour isn't too bad, altho it's very 'modern GWR'. The silver stripe just cheapens it for me.LSL RCS 43058 and 43059 "Staycation" set has been released from Eastleigh in its new colours, currently en route to Crewe HS:

Looking a little less like Fag Packet II than the original renderings!
I don't like it either, the silver and green together look dated qnd clash rather as they're both quite dull and dark in natural light, the stripe is clumsily thick, the mixed caps logo is very old fashioned, the swoop at the front doesn't work... but I didn't dare say!Am I the only one who thinks it looks incredibly tacky?

I wonder what they're last working as a pair was.43058’s first proper passenger carrying run (under LSL operation) has begun today while filling in for a damaged 43055, working with 43046 on today’s “Heart of Wales Pullman”.

Had an altercation last night with a Mk2.What happenedto 43 055?
Oh dear! Did that happen at Crewe LSL Depot?Had an altercation last night with a Mk2.
Yes pictures on the paid news wnxx website.Oh dear! Did that happen at Crewe LSL Depot?
Might have been a better idea if it was okay to use if they had sent it out instead of 058Are they sure 43 055 couldn't work? Not been impressed with 43 058 so far what with it failing and causing a two+ hour delay

Given that 43055 had a Mark 2 shunted into its nose, then probably not OK to be used.Might have been a better idea if it was okay to use if they had sent it out instead of 058
Urgh 'elf n safety gone madGiven that 43055 had a Mark 2 shunted into its nose, then probably not OK to be used.
They're probably more bothered about the "brand reputation": wouldn't want the punters to see a scraped Pullman crest, would we?Urgh 'elf n safety gone mad
Either 058 / 059 or EMR branded 047 / 049. I can only presume they went with 058 being somewhat LSL connected and liveried!Are they sure 43 055 couldn't work? Not been impressed with 43 058 so far what with it failing and causing a two+ hour delay
047/049 haven’t been out as far as I know since they were stored last year. Bit of a risk using one of them!Either 058 / 059 or EMR branded 047 / 049. I can only presume they went with 058 being somewhat LSL connected and liveried!

What's the status of 083? It was at Eastleigh being overhauled back early in the year.
Presumably that is where 47/49 come inSo they have plans to reactivate / paint any of the other three power cars? On some days over the summer they are going to need four power cars - so 100% availability required if relying on those presently active.
More than a scrape if you look for the pics on Twitter!They're probably more bothered about the "brand reputation": wouldn't want the punters to see a scraped Pullman crest, would we?
Indeed! More a gangway shaped indentation. That’s going to be a cab off job - not cheap.More than a scrape if you look for the pics on Twitter!
How much estimated? I take it covered under some kind of insurance!Indeed! More a gangway shaped indentation. That’s going to be a cab off job - not cheap.
