A Class 159 is meant to be covering for the LHCS set.

Skips are the nickname for class 67s. Top N Tailed means there is 1 loco at either end of the set. One at the top and one at the tail end.

Oh thank you Black Horse!
Don't think I could have worked that out any-time soon on my own

Did that today. I wasn't aware of it, but I popped down to Dawlish on my PRIV and went back up to Exe and saw it. It is using 'skips' and some retro rolling stock, so I thought I'd take it to Newton Abbot. I first thought it was a railtour or something. I sat next to two very nice guys for the journey, dunno if they are on here or not....

Nice train though.
