Trade off…?
There have been plenty of reports doing the rounds today regarding the apparent sale of 37197 and 37261 by WCRC to DRS so just to add to the conundrum sources have suggested that there may be a trade off going on involving at least 37197 and 37261 for at least a couple of Class 33s from DRS. Ongoing...

08913 (WZTS) has been removed by road from Didcot.

29/07/05 22:45
37402 (WNTR) was transferred to Toton from Bescot this afternoon in the consist of the 6D44 working behind 66068.
56004 (WNSO) has left the CRDC this evening but didn’t get far due to road works in the Hindley area to the south of Wigan. It is expected that 56004 will resume its journey to Booth’s Rotherham in the early hours.
60031 and 60073 (both WNTR) have been brought south from Thornaby to Immingham for attention whilst 60089 (WNTR) at Doncaster Carr has been assigned for movement to Toton.

08783 recently moved up to Bescot from Old Oak Common was on the road again yesterday being moved to Hams Hall. It is now reinstated to the WRWM pool.
08913 (WZTS) at Didcot has been dug out and reports suggest it is to be removed elsewhere by road.
37402 (WNTR) was to have been moved from Bescot to Toton overnight but was still on Bescot awaiting transfer this morning. The general consensus now is that 37402 is to become another bogie donor on arrival at Toton rather than it being on the comeback trail.
60044 at Toton has been stored WNTS and 60062 which is still in traffic at the moment has been stored WNTR. This reduction brings the Class 60 fleet down to 24 operational examples.

5T33 12:18 ECS Stewarts Lane to London Victoria
1D53 13:00 London Victoria to Gatwick Airport
1V56 13:50 Gatwick Airport to London Victoria
5T56 14:40 ECS London Victoria to Stewarts Lane

37418 (WNTR) is on the move south from Motherwell to Toton to surrender its bogies to 37416. Having being hauled south to Doncaster Belmont during the night at 08:30 37418 was ‘dead in tow’ to Rotherham en route to Toton.
60044 (WCAN) which expired in South Wales a couple of days ago has been sidelined at Margam N ONE awaiting storage. In addition 60062 (WCAN) has been assigned for N ONE at Immingham on the 29th.

North Berwicks…
It appears that one EWS Class 90 and stock diagram is being retained beyond the end of the month for the foreseeable future. With the loss of the other diagrams pending and the cessation of the Cobblers last week, further to the earlier notes about this working ceasing on the 20th it seems 90034 made a final run on the 22nd, storage for several EWS 90s may be on the cards.

GatEx 73s, endgame revised…
Further to yesterdays entry there are now reports doing the rounds that the final fling on the 28th with 73202 and 73208 will be on the 12:00 out and 12:50 return working rather than the 13:00 and 13:50 inbound.

25/07/05

24/07/05
This update covers the period 19/07/05 to 24/07/05

Tugs…
60037 and 60069 (both WNTR) were retired to store at Toton and Immingham respectively by the 20th whilst 60038 (WNTS) has been moved from Thornaby to Toton for attention. Meanwhile 60091 (WNTS) had a run out on test from Toton to Leicester and back on the 21st.
With regards to what is planned for the remainder of the fleet this is still open to conjecture with speculative estimates as to the final number to be retained for normal traffic currently ranging from between none and twenty four or thereabouts.

Auvoir…
56094 (WZGF) was despatched through the tunnel to France on the 21st.

Disposal…
43019, the HST power car damaged at Ufton Nervet November last year, has been disposed of at Sims Metals Beeston, RIP.

Wigan clearout…
37697 and 47624 (both now WNSO) have been removed from Wigan CRDC to Booth’s Rotherham by road. 56121 (also now WNSO) is next to go and should be on its way east tomorrow.

Pool changes…
There have been a number of pool reallocations of note over the last few days…
DRS chopper 20302 which has now been collected from Crewe Heritage Centre and taken to Brush Loughborough for repairs has been transferred to the XHMW pool.
Four Class 56s, 56037 56103 56104 and 56115, all currently laid up in Healey Mills yard, have been added to the WZGF French pool but 56048 56113 56133 56134 58005 58006 58013 58017 and 58026 have been removed from the respective WZGF and WZFF pools to the WZTS storage pool thus confirming their rejection from the program. This development leaves us with 56007 56037 56071 56074 56103 56104 56115 allocated to WZGF along with a solitary 58018 allocated to WZFF. Interestingly the opportunity to remove the 24 Class 37s currently allocated to the WZKF pool to a more normal storage pool was not taken.
Another major EWS pool reallocation was that of all the locomotives recently sold being transferred from WNZX to WNSO however the pool is not now without an allocation as 08481 37414 and 47778 which have been made available for sale have been transferred to WNZX.
Freightliner have continued to reallocate their locomotives to the new pools however two Class 66s, 66523 and 66528, were reallocated to the new pools then transferred back.
Scrapped 31449 (which went to its grave still numbered 31549) 47547 and 47574 have been de-registered as has 33108 which passed into preservation following its stint with Fragonset.

Other bits and pieces…
87019 (GBAC) has entered traffic with GBRf alongside 87012 following attention at Willesden whilst the loco hauled Cobblers came to an end on the 20th with 90034 in charge.
92036 has been stored WNTS at Crewe EMD swapping places with 92037 which is reinstated to WTAE from store at Crewe EMD.

18/07/05 23:45
56094 (WZGF) has been hauled from Bristol to Wembley today to await despatch to France. After being tripped initially from Barton Hill to Avonmouth 56094 was taken east in the consist of the 6M33 service to Wembley behind 67030.

18/07/05 15:20
37040 has, via a trip to Langley Mill, completed its transfer by road from Wigan CRDC to Booth’s Rotherham.
56094 (WZGF) at Bristol Barton Hill is booked to move to Wembley later today for transfer to France.

60s binned…
As planned another seven Class 60s have been put to store this afternoon but not all the seven that had been assigned for N ONE today. 60062 and 60078 have been reprieved for the time being but 60082 and 60100 are stored in their place. Today’s reduction, two of which are still out and about, consists…

60037 stored WNTR but still in traffic
60052 stored WNTR at Margam
60067 stored WNTR at Doncaster Carr
60069 stored WNTR but still in traffic
60074 stored WNTR at Thornaby
60082 stored WNTS at Thornaby
60100 stored WNTS at Immingham

26 to go…

S for France…
That’s S as in shed for France. 66215 has been stored WNTS at Toton where it is to undergo modifications prior to being despatched abroad.

16/07/05
37040 (WNZX) has been removed from Wigan CRDC by road for transfer to Booth’s Rotherham.

15/07/05
09007 (WNTS), recently stored at Goole, has been removed by road being noted this afternoon traversing the M18 probably en route to Doncaster Carr.
60004 (WNTR) has been stood down and stored at Immingham.
87006 87028 and 87029 (all SBXL) are now back at Oxley following their jaunt to Crewe.

60s, it gets worse…
Prior to today with the fleet down to 33 and with 60037 and 60052 being assigned for N ONE and store on the 18th thus potentially reducing the fleet to 31 working examples the general consensus was that EWS were aiming to retain a core Class 60 fleet of around 30 locomotives for about 25 diagrams however, and the following lends weight to the recent rumours that the Class 60 fleet is now facing complete elimination by the end of next month, five more Class 60s besides 60037 and 60052 have been pre assigned for N ONE on the 18th. These additional potential casualties, all from WCAN, are 60062 60067 60069 60074 and 60078. It’s not looking good…

Cobblers again…
It now transpires that hired in coaching sets (and 90s) for the London / Northampton services are being leased until next Friday, the 22nd, to facilitate a program of modifications on some of the 350s. Officially they are being retained as stand by cover but they are expected to be out for at least the early part of next week. After the 22nd the coaches have to leave as they are required elsewhere, namely ONE Anglia.

14/07/05
08623 (WZTS) is on the move again by road being noted heading east on the M4 yesterday afternoon from Margam.
60004 (WNTR) due to be stopped for store at Immingham is still in traffic but 60025 and 60027 (both WNTR) have been retired to store at Margam and Doncaster Carr.
87022 (SBXL) was taken back to Oxley yesterday with 47200 leaving 87006 87028 and 87029 (all SBXL) at Crewe with 47316.
87032 (XHSS) has left Kingmoor, but not to Willesden as had been anticipated, it was hauled north yesterday to Glasgow Works by 66410.

Cobblers…
Further to the report the other day several dates for the end of the locomotive hauled Euston / Northampton service have been put forward. Although the clever money is on the 15th take your pick from 15/07 (tomorrow), 22/07 (a week tomorrow) or any Friday in August...

13/07/05
58021 (WZFF) was tripped to Dollands Moor from Wembley this morning then through the tunnel via service 4404 to France.

60s, another reduction…
Four more Class 60s have been stored today although three of these are still in traffic.
60004 stored WNTR but still in traffic, assigned to Immingham for store
60025 stored WNTR but still in traffic, assigned to Margam for store
60027 stored WNTR but still in traffic. Assigned to Doncaster Carr for store
60030 stored WNTS at Thornaby

This reduction brings the Class 60 fleet total down to 33 but it doesn't end there, two more 60s, 60037 and 60052, have been pre-assigned for N ONE on the 18th.

The convoy…
The four Class 87s, 87006 87022 87028 and 87029, which were to have been dragged to Glasgow today left Oxley as planned but only made it as far as Crewe where the convoy was terminated due to a DSD fault with 47316, the hauling locomotive. Although 47200 was scrambled from Oxley to take over it was decided to terminate the convoy at Crewe leaving the 87s there to be collected and returned to Oxley at a later date.

12/07/05 22:35
58021 (WZFF) has been released from Eastleigh for transfer to France being hauled to Wembley this afternoon in the consist of the 6M44 service behind 66120.

Class 87 notes…
87006 87022 87028 and 87029 (all SBXL) moved to Oxley today are to be moved north to Glasgow tomorrow morning. Due off Oxley at around 08:00 Cotswold Rail’s 47316 is booked to take the four Class 87s and a couple of coaches initially to Carlisle to drop off the coaches which are Longtown bound, then on to Glasgow to deposit the 87s at Springburn.
At Kingmoor 87032 (XHSS) is being readied to move south to Willesden whilst at Oxley 87007 (CRRH) has been rubbed down for a repaint.
It now appears that 87001 (SBXL) which is in need of a transformer change is not going to be used by GBRf who are set to take on 87004 (SBXL) instead. Meanwhile 87013 and 87014 (both GBAC) have been stopped with multiple faults at Willesden and repairs are unlikely to be forthcoming.

Cobblers…
The Euston / Northampton ‘Cobbler’ service currently utilising EWS 90s and stock look set to end on the 22nd.

12/07/05 11:25
08909 (WZTS) is now, following its circuitous move by road from Dee Marsh, located at Thornaby where it is booked to undergo a D exam.
56095 (WZGF) has been despatched to France. Having left Old Oak Common yesterday to Wembley it has since made its way to Dollands Moor and through the tunnel in the consist of 4404 this morning.
87006 87022 87028 87029 and 87030 (all SBXL) have run north from Wembley to Oxley this morning. Running as 0Z87 with 87022 providing traction.

86101 (SAXL) was removed by road from Longtown yesterday being noted several times heading south on the M6 en route to MoD Ashchurch. There are unconfirmed reports that 86101 is passing into preservation so if anyone would like to step forward and lay claim to ‘Sir William’...

06/07/05
60048 (WNTR) has made its move from Immingham to Toton but 60076 (WNTR) remains at Doncaster awaiting transfer.
56095 (WZGF) at Old Oak Common is ready for release for transfer to France and will be on its way, via Wembley and Dollands Moor, shortly.

French resistance…
Although no reference to this can be found on the ‘net’ there has been talk of there being resistance recently to an operator entering traffic in France under the open access agreement with the use of tear gas to disperse protestors being mentioned. Just imagine what will happen when they find out EWS 66s are heading their way…

Work in progress…
The cutting of 86227 at Hull’s Rotherham is underway with only its cabs and frame in evidence when viewed this morning.

Meridians definitely…
The first 9 car Meridian unit is set to enter service with Midland Mainline on the 4th with the NL55 HST diagram going over to the 222.

1B06 0623 Nottingham - St Pancras, 1D12 0855 St Pancras- Nottingham
1B27 1130 Nottingham - St Pancras, 1D32 1355 St Pancras- Nottingham
1B47 1630 Nottingham - St Pancras, 1D54 1855 St Pancras- Nottingham

The introduction of the Meridian, likely to be 222007, will allow the release of two HST power cars with 43059 and 43060 being reported as the favoured candidates for the chop although it has been noted that 43066 and 43074 are currently stopped with serious faults. The official line is that this single set will be employed for the foreseeable future to evaluate the situation however other sources suggest that the rest of the meridians will be entering traffic in due course. Two in September, one in October, one in December and the final in two sets in January 2006.

ELR no show…
Due to the pressure of work involved with getting 20096 and 20905 ready for their return to the mainline HNRC have advised that unfortunately these and 37510 will not be joining 20901 at the ELR for the forthcoming Diesel Traction Gala.

56081 (WZGF) was despatched through the tunnel to France this morning.

More 60s for store…
Six more Class 60s have been earmarked for store by EWS, 60004 60023 60026 60048 60050 and 60076. All are assigned for N ONE at Toton on the 4th. Although this pending reduction will bring the fleet total down to below half strength there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes towards getting most of the stored 60s ready for reinstatement for this autumn’s sandite season. It is understood that EWS wish to increase the fleet size to 96 operational examples when the time comes however the general consensus is that a return to between 85 and 90 operational examples is a more realistic proposal. As for the Class 37s it seems that EWS haven’t abandoned their use for sandite or use during the sandite season completely as there are indications that about 10 examples are in line to be returned to use this autumn.
