Exports...
Euroshed 66243 (WBEN) has been released from Toton and is on its way back to France. Moved to Wembley earlier today it was joined by Bulgaria bound 92025 and 92027 (both WTEB) at Wembley from where the trio were hauled to Dollands Moor in the consist of the evening 6B63 working behind 92030.

Tugwatch...
60063 is back in the main fleet being reallocated from WFMU to the WCAI pool. It swaps with 60035 which is now WFMU at Toton. 60011, also currently stopped at Toton, has also recently been transferred to the WFMU pool.

The Oostvoorne with 86233 87009 87017 87023 and 87025 on board has docked at Varna in Bulgaria and (subject to suitable weather conditions) unloading will commence tomorrow.

RHTT wind down...
This year's RHTT season is drawing to a close. Some diagrams end at the end of this week whilst some reduced diagrams continue into next week before finally ceasing. Expect a few changes to the DBS and DRS fleets, which have been pretty much at full stretch over the past month or so. We might even see 60092 getting to the paint facility at Toton at some point...

Tractors for repair...
Further to the recent (largely speculative) report about Class 37/4s heading to RVE at Derby for repairs some further (but still unconfirmed) information has come to light in that it's now looking like three 37s for repair - two for Derby and one for HNRC at Barrow Hill. It has been mooted that 37422 might be involved which would make sense as 37683 was moved from Crewe to Derby to provide an engine. More later no doubt...

GBNL...
GBRf have formed a new pool coded GBNL and reallocated 66747 66748 and 66749 to it from GBZZ. Subject to confirmation it is assumed the pool is to recognise these Class 66s coming from Holland hence GBNL for the Netherlands.

Tugwatch...
60024 is back on shunting duties at Toton and is reallocated from WFMU back to the WSSK pool. 60059 is back from WFMU, transferred to the WCBK pool, while 60063 is now WFMU at Toton.

Sparks to Toton...
Two electric locomotives have arrived at Toton today - 90029 (WNTR) from Crewe EMD, towed in by 66041 as 0Z90 from Crewe, and 92011 (WFMU) sent back to Toton from Bescot in the 0T65 transfer with 66133 and 66129. 90029 is for a repaint whilst 92011 still requires its tyre turning carrying out.

Tugwatch...
60024 from WSSK and 60059 from the WCBK pool have been reallocated to WFMU, both are currently at Toton while 60017 has been reallocated from WCBI to the WCAI pool.

57002...
Further to yesterday's mention of 57002 and it not working any RHTT workings off Stowmarket it has been advised that it has worked, at least once, on October 15th.

92011...
On transfer back to Crewe EMD following tyre turning at Toton 92011 (WFMU) has reached Bescot en route.

37/4s...
Booths bound 37416 37417 and 37427 (all XHHP) should be moving from Kingmoor to Rotherham by road in the coming week. Meanwhile the next two Class 37/4s for repair should be 37401 and 37411 (both XHHP) which are both currently at Kingmoor. It has been mooted that the repair of 37401 and 37411 may (subject to confirmation) be undertaken at RVE at Derby.

57309 and Holyhead drags...
The Holyhead drag today was handled by 57314 in the end, 57309 (XHAC) which had been in place at Crewe to work it being failed with an ETS fault. There's only two more opportunities to get a DRS 57/3 on this working, the Pendolino to Holyhead on Saturday's ceases to happen after the December timetable change.

DBS 90s...
Recently stored 90029 (WNTR) which is undergoing a C exam at Crewe EMD has been scheduled to go to Toton for a repaint once its exam is complete at Crewe. It'll be interesting if DB Schenker livery is to be applied, as 90029 in a former guise as 90129, carried an earlier version of DB livery being one of the Class 90s given special repaints some years ago. 90034 (WNTS) at Crewe EMD, one of the longer term absentees, appears to be undergoing attention with a view to returning it to service.

WBSN update...
A couple of changes to the WBSN allocation to report. This year's RHTT pool contingent has been the most static to date with generally the same locomotives being allocated throughout. 66168 has been swapped out of the pool to WBAK in exchange for 66183 which is now allocated to the WBSN pool. 67021 has been reallocated from WBSN back to WAAN and has not been replaced.

Tugwatch...
60099 has been released from Toton and reallocated to the WCAI pool from WFMU.

Delly 2 to Shildon...
55002 (DBLX) returned to the mainline proper this morning taking 6229 'Duchess of Hamilton' from the NRM at York to Locomotion, Shildon.

DRS notes...
Three redundant Class 37/4s from Carlisle Kingmoor are likely to be going to Booths at Rotherham for component recovery and disposal. It is understood that the three are 37416 37417 and, depending on which sources you go with, 37426 or 37427. All are currently allocated to the XHHP pool at Kingmoor. Of the two 37/4s, 37402 and 37405 (both also XHHP) undergoing restoration to working order at Barrow Hill, its looking like the first one off repairs will be 37402 with indications that it will be released early to mid December.

The coaching stock for the 'Glowex' passenger service, set to run between Carlisle and Barrow via Sellafield from sometime in January 2013 (the current estimate for the start of these loco hauled workings along the Cumbrian coast is mid to late January 2013) was collected from Barrow Hill today. 57304 took 5971 5810 6001 6122 6008 6117 and 9525 to Crewe.

Tugwatch...
60015 60017 and 60099 have been transferred to the WFMU pool in the last couple of days. All three are at Toton for attention.

Europhoenix pool amendments...
Two new pool groups have been created by Europhoenix - EPEX for locomotives for export and EPUK for UK locomotives.

Reallocated to the EPUK pool, again from either EPXX or EPXS are 86231 86235 and 86242. The EPXS pool is now devoid of an allocation whilst EPXX retains Hungary bound 86217 along with the three demics at Crewe LNWR - 86621 86633 and 86635.

De-registrations update...
The rest of the locomotives recently de-registered have now been identified. For completeness this report will include the six de-registrations recorded in yesterday's update. In total nineteen locomotives have recently been de-registered from the system, all bar one of which, 37198, have already been scrapped. The nineteen 'ghosts in the system' as compiled last month have now been exorcised - 56114 earlier in the month and the rest more recently. The de-registration of these already scrapped locomotives (see table below) leaves only one 'ghost' in the shape of recently scrapped 08745 which is still allocated to the DHLT pool...

Identified so far (it has been indicated there are others that have been or are being de-registered) as de-registered recently are 01556 01557 08350  33023 37198 and 37235. All were allocated to the MBDL and, with the exception of 37198 currently residing on the Great Central, have already been scrapped.

0Z51/0Z52...
No movement of 56051 from Burton but 56302 (NRHL) made its return to the mainline today running from Washwood Heath to Burton and back with 56094 (COLO) in tow.

Tugwatch...
Apart from a couple of 60s being moved through WFMU the fleet allocation has been fairly static of late. There have been a handful of transfers between the sectors now though with 60011 and (the paint shop avoiding) 60092 being reallocated from WCAK/WCBK to WCAI/WCBI respectively swapping with 60015 and 60019 which have been reallocated from WCBI/WCAI to WCBK/WCAK respectively.

This transfer includes traversing the mainline as part of this manoeuvre. 55002 was due to stretch her legs proper with a spin out between York and Shildon on the 8th but it has been advised that this run, which was to transfer 'The Duchess of Hamilton' north to Shildon, has now been cancelled. The KOYLI WEBSITE will have further details when available.
