News

47805/812/829/843/847/848 are all still in the DFLH pool expected to change to RTLO although 829 and 847 were still operating for Freightliner today. 47815 is still IWLA and has not moved since 11/12/04.

812s cancellation is confirmed as being due to an NRN cab radio failure.

Re: earlier comment Tuebrook is indeed near Allerton although closer to Edge Hill it is the sidings on the north side of Edge Hill at the junction of the route towards Seaforth. A Freightliner loco presumed to be 47150 which went to Tuebrook was seen heading north east through Prescot (between Liverpool and St Helens Central) at around 10.30am.

News

Following on from yesterdays comments 47805/812/829/843/847/848 were moved yesterday from DFLH (Freightliner Heavy Haul) to RTLO (Riviera Trains) 47828 was moved from SBXL to CREL. 47815 also moved to RTLO from IWLA (First Great Western) while Freightliner lost another loco as 47270 was withdrawn from traffic having been unserviceable for over a month and is now in the DHLT pool. 829 and 847 are still in traffic with Freightliner presumably until 47830 and 47841 leave Virgin for Basford Hall.

Regarding 47150 it seems to be on crew training runs between Tuebrook and Wigan via St Helens Central a line extremely rare for visits by any locos or freight so it is odd that crews are being trained on the route. On Tue this week it was seen at Springs Branch in the morning heading north on the WCML. It returned within 15 minutes and diverged at Springs Branch Junction towards St Helens. On Wed it was seen again at Springs Branch but on its way to Wigan it took the other side of the triangle at Springs Branch Junction from Ince Moss Junction to Bamfurlong Junction which joins on to the WCML heading south. Today it was seen at Warrington BQ heading north at around 1100 returning south at 1330.

Note today that Fragonset and Merlin Rail merged to form ‘FM Rail’ some interesting notes upon the Fragonset website include that ‘FM Rail is now in a strong position to deliver innovative services on Britains regional lines as well as to the newly designated Community Railways’ (lots more loco hauled trains?) and ‘FM Rail can call upon a “strategic reserve” of 50 additional locomotives that can be recommissioned at short notice to meet market demands’ (hopefully more “quickly” than 710 and 715!).

News

47810 and 47841 hauled mk3 sets this morning with 90’s dead in tow due to power supply problems at Berkhamsted. Of course these are the Silverlink ‘Cobbler’ services - but still very rare!

The last timetable (26/09/04 to 11/12/04) produced 81.2% of the booked Arriva loco haulage turn mileage running (34540 of a possible 42555) although the week before 839’s failure on 04/12/04 it was as high as 88%. Other factors affecting the figure were flooding 853’s SPAD (25/11/04) brake shoe working loose on stock (28/09/04) AWS fault (07/10/04) TPWS fault (12/10/04) flooding (22/10/04 and 23/10/04) stock faults (25/10/04 and 10/11/04) and a wiper fault (08/11/04). As I’ve pointed out before it would be interesting to see how many faults on one 175 occur over a similar period the above statistics were quite impressive for an intensive six day a week diagram. Since 12/12/04 things have slipped and so far this year (2005) a mere 63.8% of the booked Arriva loco haulage has actually run it is almost as if an anti loco hauled hat has been in place at Chester and each morning a different explanation as to why the train should be a unit is pulled out on that day! It seems that from today either 805 or 839 will be stabled at Holyhead as a thunderbird a bit of an extreme measure for a diagram that does just 331 miles in a day and visits Holyhead just the once compared to the previous diagram which began and finished at Holyhead and visited there twice in between as well on its way to the end of a 633 mile diagram. It is also odd as most of the problems have not been due to the locos failing.

At 18:49 47843+47829 with at least one Thameslink class 319 were seen heading southbound just north of Kings Langley.

47811 was seen at Edge Hill in the Wapping siding (just by the signal box) at 1045 this morning presumably on a similar route learning job to 150/816s turns from last week/earlier this week.

47805 ran out of fuel (again!!!) at Daresbury a mile north of Runcorn East (where the water tower is apparently) causing chaos to the route and departing 195 minutes late (yes three hours and 15 minutes later) when 47847 rescued it. Yet more proof that the ‘new’ diagram has not had sufficient organisational thought put into it with regards to who cleans the train fills the toilet tanks and fills the fuel tanks(!). There are a number of places in the country where it is proven that a locomotive hauled diagram can start and finish from successfully Crewe Fort William Yarmouth Holyhead and Rhymney are good examples. Chester on the other hand (on evidence from the past five weeks at least) is not.

47841 is now off lease from Alstom leaving 47810/826/830/840/851 remaining with Virgin West Coast. 47830 will be the final one (of the batch being returned) moving to Porterbrook shortly with the other four locos remaining with Virgin although the 57s will outnumber the 47s based at Willesden by four to one! Evil Spirits last working was on Mon (17/01/05) when it apparently rescued 390001 which was working 1A33 (a Manchester to London service) at Stockport dragging it back to Longsight ECS.

News

A correction to yesterdays news 47703 is not on hire to Virgin but to Transpennine Express as a route learner when required currently based at Manchester Piccadilly (presumably as 31106 was before it). I think 703 was a Virgin route learner around Bristol recently but received no gen (or Ive overlooked it). 703 has recently been used for Newton Heath Ashburys and Yorkshire diversionary routes.

A reliable source states that the ATW 47 hauled turn will finish on Sat 19th February (two weeks from now).

47828 has been finished in Cotswold silver and fitted with multi working jumpers (as 714 was).

47709 dragged the Network Rail New Measurement Test Train (an HST) from Bounds Green aiming for Craigentinny it was intended to do so yesterday but failed prior to leaving Derby. Today it hauled the HST as far as York before failing with a traction motor failure suffering fire damage. It seems that these FM Rail 47s need some regular passenger work to get them in good working order again it will be noted by readers that the ETH fitted locos have been sat around at Oxley and Derby (703 709 832) since the charter season finished last year and with the collapse of charter company VST only NENTA now regularly uses these locos on charters.

More info on 703 received it appeared in the north west last Fri (28/01/05) replacing 31106 which went back to Derby via Oxley picking up 47355 on the way so thats the 355 mystery solved! One of the reasons for 31106 being replaced was due to it clagging too much(!) whilst at Manchester Piccadilly.

Noteably after what seemed to be teething problems with the new ATW diagram from December and a large number of troubles affecting it - it now seems to have settled down having just run for three weeks with no terminations or failures and no reported late running (except for 1H43 on Mon morning). Ironic that the turn is now expected to finish just when it has got into a groove! Adding to the above were yesterdays Cardiff additionals both 843 and 853 running without fault. Also worth a mention is the seldom reported 1V01 and 1V06 which has currently run since December without failure 1V01 is believed to have run every weekday so far and 1V06 has only been replaced by a unit due to driver related issues. Congratulations once again to Riviera Trains and LNWR at Crewe and Cotswold Rail and the maintenance team at Norwich CP. Lets hope this summer produces new 47 hauled diagrams doubtful I know but its a waste of locos and stock if theyre going to sit around doing nothing like Fragonsets 47s had been - good to see their 703 back out and running again.

Note that 1V06 1905 Norwich-Yarmouth (the service originates at London Liverpool Street) was a unit from Norwich every day last week due to driver issues (ie the drivers available/rostered not signing class 47s).

A confirmation has been received that 47853 did not run in to Holyhead on 1D37 in service on Fri it ran non stop through Colwyn Bay empty – with trouble with the loco first reported at Chester. It is thought that remaining passengers were detrained at Rhyl as originally reported. 847 hauled 853 back to Crewe with stock on Sat morning.

47830 is now in the DFLH Freightliner loco pool it was still in ATSP at 1030am yesterday but had already moved to Basford Hall on an unidentified train.

32 months after First North Western re-initiated class 47 hauled local services in north Wales it looks like the end has come. Tomorrow (Sat) is expected to be the final day this service is a class 47 enough 158s are believed to now be in place to cover for 175s.

News

With regards 47145 it had been on hire to GBRf at Tonbridge Yard but it is apparently knackered! Its most recent intended working appears to have been a Tonbridge-Selhurst ballast on Sat 5th February but it failed before departure. Several sources have desribed it as spot-on externally but in a poor state internally which is rather unfortunate.

1V01 is expected to become a class 170 from the June timetable change. 1V06 is still expected to be loco hauled after that.

Not previously reported but 47812 ran out of fuel while working 1H52 on Tue. 812 came to a stand at Astley Box on Chat Moss at 1550 with its engine shut down and out of fuel. What actually happened was that its first tank of fuel ran out and the second tanks fuel pump was not working so no fuel was getting to the loco (in a similar way that affected 47292 on Compass Tours first railtour in 2003) and it was not possible to repair. 47843 had been dispatched from Crewe at 1710 to recover the train arriving at Astley around 1845 having travelled via Manchester and the crossover at Astley. The train was further delayed while a Manchester bound class 142 over took the formation on the other line. 843 departed with 812 stock and passengers in tow at around 1905 for Piccadilly and arrived at 1927 (just over three hours late). Oddly during the same working 812 arrived at Bangor and sat there for five minutes leaving ten minutes late (apparently this was due to following DRS class 20s from Valley).

It has been confirmed that 47847s workings yesterday were the last of the diagram class 175 availability is amazingly improving (the modification programmes must have worked well finally) and all the unit changes across the country seem to have seen the end of all the loco hauled turns lately except the 37s in the Valleys which are expected to continue until the end of December. It isnt all bad news though Arriva Trains Wales will continue to use loco hauled trains for additional services to Cardiff with a large number of these still expected to be class 47 hauled.

47853 is currently showing as under genius control and oddly shows as its home depot being at Toton(?!) which may date from its ILRA days? More likely is that it is connected to a report that Virgin Cross Country are expecting a 47 as a route learner in the north east shortly?

47841 at Mossend was dragged dead in tow. 47811 on repairs has gone the other way since yesterday Mossend to Basford Hall – presumably also dead in tow as it was a failure.

47355 and 47832 appear to have moved from Derby RTC to the siding at Derby station and a confirmed sighting of 703 has been received of the loco still at Newton Heath. At least two charters are running from Liverpool to Cardiff this weekend one expected to use 47854 and 57601 the other expected to be 47355 and 47832. No timing or operator details received although are probably privately organised for football fans.

47853 is still under Genius control (the system that Virgin uses to allocate locos) its location still currently unknown.

At Longsight 47851 was tyre turned during the day and 810 has been on site since at least Sun receiving maintenance to a fault.

1V01 was cancelled. I will attempt to find out 47769s timings tonight if I get time to get online.

47714 was on hire to Freightliner at Ipswich last night workings unknown. A few other Cotswold locos worked trains last night although other than allocations that were posted on email groups I cannot confirm if any 47s worked and if so where from and to although seen at London Liverpool Street was 90004 and mk3 rake which was declared a failure on the 1500 Liverpool St-Norwich. At around 1645 - 47818 was being attached to the front of the set possibly about to work out ECS. 47828 is also thought to have worked the 1200 London-Norwich beginning at Shenfield to Norwich it later worked 1V06. Any reports or confirmations welcome.

The 1V01 cancellation was cancelled last night along with some other working and is believed to be weather related.

47805 and 47839 began last nights 6X54 rather early and at one point it was 481 minutes early before being looped for a considerable length of time in a siding at Bletchley!

1600 Norwich-London and 1820 return are expected to be topntail 47 hauled.

47830 on 5Z23 was hauling 76767-62405-71085-76838(unit 1884) 71082(from 1883) 71091(from 1888) and 76258-62462-70795-76259(unit 3415).

News

47709 at Salisbury is apparently supposed to have made its way to the Mid Hants Railway.

All news for this year has been updated using any emails that Id overlooked. The only day that was missing was January 1st and that has now been added. Consequently from going through the old emails I have a lot of unused photos to use so will be adding a few per day to the news starting later. The main reason Ive been going through old emails is in an attempt to finish the ATLO 47 pages from summer 2004 which was an attempt to follow all the locos in their last summer with booked diagrams. I had added pages for 47750 787 810 816 826 828 830 840 841 851 and workings had been added for the first month of the summer timetable. I have finished the page for 47810 this week which has highlighted the need for me to add the missing days from last year. I believe I have lists for all the missing days so I am slowly adding missing days before requesting information from viewers to fill in the gaps if there are any left.

Back in January I asked what on earth community railways were. One humourous response suggested it involved social workers to hand in case of Sprinter trauma which sounded quite likely but amazingly wasnt quite right. It is in fact part of the SRA plan to get passengers back on the branchlines there is information on the SRA website. Perhaps the normal passengers are suffering their own Sprinter trauma and abandoning local routes in protest at the lack of loco hauled coaching stock or they need a fat controller at all junctions to avoid confusion and delay.....

News

Confirmed sighting received of 47703 on route learning duties at Ashton under Lyme around lunchtime.

Good news 47402 was started up for the first time in many years yesterday – and is hoped to be available for the ELRs night rider event in March although it currently requires a few repairs.

47316 and 47714 were at work in multi tonight presumably from Ipswich to Felixstowe. 714 did 4L60 on Fri morning and was at Wembley at 9pm that night.

News

Unknown today = 5V01 0422 Norwich-Yarmouth/ 1V01 0622 Yarmouth-Norwich.

47847 only worked half of its route learning turn yesterday due to a broken rail on the Ferryhill branch it worked from Tyne Yard-Darlington/ Darlington-Eaglescliffe/ Eaglescliffe-Darlington/ Darlington-Eaglescliffe/ Eaglescliffe-Darlington/ Darlington-Tyne Yard.

In the current edition of Rail magazine it explains that Arriva’s explanation for finishing with the 1H43/1D37/1H52/1D46 turn was due to reliability issues. This seems like an excuse from the TOC as used by various companies regarding loco hauled trains. If Riviera Trains loco’s (or any 47’s except apparently 145) are so unreliable then I must be missing information on all the failures apparently going on has one ever failed on these Bedford-Hornsey stock moves as I’ve never heard of any failures on them? If Arriva believed that loco hauled trains were so unreliable then why would they have had them working high key services at peak times running in to the second largest city in England? Of loco failures on Arriva services since August when the turn started there were very few; the fuel pump incident recently that resulted in a three hour delay in the evening peak and another fuel related incident on a Sat in January which also led to a three hour delay. 812 suffered a brake valve fault at Holyhead 839 worked for weeks and weeks and failed once with a minor fault and once with a wiper fault 853 had a main generator failure and both 839 and 853 suffered at least one AWS and TPWS fault while they were still getting used to regular use in August/September.Of course there was also the unfortunate SPAD in which the driver blamed the train for the incident at Chester’s Saltney Jn when the train passed a red signal by 100 yards - resulting in the loco and stock being impounded for months. It was later proved by Riviera with test runs to Chester that there was no problem with 853 or the stock and the incident resulted in units having to work the loco hauled turn when 839 was out of traffic for exam (as this was before the Freightliner loco’s joined Riviera) and a perfectly good engine was sat around doing nothing! Additional to the above ‘failures’ 839 was failed by a driver at Chester on 1K67 one day due to its windscreen wiper not working. It wasn’t raining and the loco was 21 miles from its home depot where it could have had a quick repair! The result was a cancellation and a unit replacement. Can a 175 (or even a 158) really go for six months without having mechanical failures or being involved in incidents caused by human error or other preceding services? The comment in the magazine does also say that the ending of the turn was made possible by unit re-diagramming so it would have become a unit anyway so the reliability statement seems like an unnecessary jibe against loco hauled trains. Anybody agree/disagree or have proof that 175’s can go for six months without any incidents?

47815 is being moved to Crewe tomorrow its period of use as a standby for FGW ironically being over after the first weekend it had been used! It was still under ‘genius’ control this morning but is moving (dead in tow) to Crewe Carriage Shed with some carriages tomorrow.

47150 earlier was Gascoigne Wood having failed yesterday (Lowestoft coolant) and is now at Midland Rd having arrived at 1240 this afternoon.

47575 at Barrow Hill requires a bogie change before it can run again.

Regarding 47851 dragging a Pendolino last year it failed in the Tring area when only two lines were available for use and ‘caused havoc’ hence 851 rescued it - presumably being the closest loco and then dragged it with passengers to Watford Jn where the train terminated. Interestingly a passenger aboard 47840’s Pendolino drag on Sun night confirms that lighting heating and all other hi tech gadgets(!) on board seemed to be working perfectly but don’t expect it to happen again.

Due to Arriva drivers not working WCRC and Riviera came to the rescue WCRC providing one set of stock and Riviera providing another with WCRC also providing drivers. The first working of the day involved 37197(!) hauling the set and 47847 from Bangor station into the tunnel so 847 could work the a late morning Bangor-Crewe service. Unfortunately the train was cancelled due to a central door locking fault so 847 worked ECS instead.

Any humorous suggestions as to what it could stand for? Yesterday 830 was showing as going there too but ended up at Wimbledon although on that working (yesterday) it was apparently not in the best of health so may not have completed the working unaided.

47840 was noted at Old Oak Common yesterday attached to the London end of a sleeper set and by today had been moved to FGW’s IWLA locomotive pool albeit with a restriction in place to only work between Old Oak and Paddington – this possibly being caused by some drivers having not driven 47’s for over six months (just a guess but probably right). ATSP’s other loco’s 810 826 and 851 are to come off lease from Virgin by this weekend all three expected to move on to current mainline operators of class 47’s and to give you a clue the companies rumored do not begin with D or F...

47815 is in use as the Virgin route learner in the north east it began these duties yesterday.

47841 is expected to work south from Bo’ness during the week with 643 picking up 798 on the way for the NYMR gala this weekend.

47851 was on its way to Derby to collect the Network Rail NMT HST to take to somewhere else.

47843 was seen having arrived at Newcastle to replace 47815 by 1700 tonight.

A big shunt appears to have taken place at Crewe with 60002 being used to shunt various things around. 47188 and 47213 have been moved to the extreme south end of Crewe Diesel depot only visible from the Marches line with 515 having been moved on to the diesel depot almost visible from the bottom of platform 12 as are 47774 and 47775 near the old fuelling point.

Details of 47805's derailment incident as supplied to me: At 2307 (Tue) 6X54 2235 Selhurst-Bedford became derailed on the Up Spur line between New Kew Jn and Kew East Jn. The train hauled by 47805 hauling translator vehicle 6378 EMU 319426 translator vehicle 6379 and 47830 at the rear had been signalled normally and had passed over New Kew Jn onto the Up Spur line without incident. As 6X54 traversed the curve towards Kew East Jn the driver reported hearing a loud bang and immediately brought the train to a stand. Examination revealed that locomotive 47805 was derailed on all wheels trailing bogie vehicle 6378 was derailed (all wheels of leading bogie) and unit 319426 was derailed on the rear bogie of the first and second vehicles. The Up & Down Spur lines were blocked by the derailment with the rear of the train fouling the Up & Down Hounslow lines. A cause for the derailment has not yet been found.

47402 ran very well on Sat and Sun at the East Lancs. The other East Lancs 47 at the moment; 47769 is still being fitted with TPWS the work 70% finished and other work on the loco is continuing and at the moment is awaiting a replacement camshaft for the power unit. Following completion of a bogie change between 47575 and 47839 (which is due to be done within the next two months) 575 will be transported from Barrow Hill to the East Lancs Railway hopefully in time to run at their July Gala.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway gala timetabled linked from yesterdays news has been removed from their site apparently due to a non appearance of a 66. A replacement timetable will be added on that page soon.

After its derailment 47805 with 47830 were at the side of Selhurst depot yesterday morning connected to their barrier vehicles. Apparently the particular curve involved is rather treacherous!

60041 failed at Stalybridge yesterday whilst working 6E06 Bredbury-Scunthorpe 'bin' train. It is thought that a piston had gone through the engine block on the loco. The line was cleared by FM Rails-on-hire-to-TPE 47355 and this then worked 6E06 to Healey Mills Yard with 60041 dead in tow!

By 2pm today 47213 was in the process of being cut up at the south end of Crewe Diesel depot its sides having been removed and cutting still underway.

47854 has been on the Royal Scotsman from Thu until today with no other loco.

47515 was painted white on one side for Bristol Bath Road's open day in August 1991. A 47 was also on the load bank that day as a demonstration (possibly 834). 47515 was adjacent to this with diagrams painted on its white side to show how a class 47 works from the power unit through the main generator to the traction motors etc.

47358 has been given a depot plaque (71L) which is the code for Southampton Docks - and also its unofficial Tinsley name from the mid 90's painted on its sides.

Yesterday afternoon 47515 was still intact and 47213 had no cabs or sides remaining although its power unit was still in place!

47303 has a flat battery and did not work today on the MHR. It is not expected to be working on Sun and is expected to be stored at Eastleigh on Mon along with 358 and one other. Today 358 was carrying a "Intermodel End of Generation" headboard.

The EMU move that ran yesterday is expected to on Thu (see 811’s workings on Tues). These are apparently running only run until the Slade Green wheel lathe is repaired which could be two weeks away but may be longer. The regular Bedford-Hornsey drags were supposed to have finished at the end of last week but will be running for now occasionally when required - hence 47830 and 47843 are working today and had been stabled at Rugby.

47105 will be used on the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway this Sat (4th) due to the non-availability of a steam loco. It will work the 1030 1230 1430 and 1630 from Toddington to Cheltenham Racecourse and the corresponding return workings.

This coming Sat NENTA runs as 1Z47 0405 Norwich-Carlisle via Ipswich Doncaster Leeds then via S+C to Carlisle the return is 1Z48 xxxx Carlisle-Norwich via the same route - which will be hauled by 47703 and 47832 top'n'tailed.

47830: I have received two different allocations for this loco one with 66553 dead in tow on 1200 Dagenham-Garston Yard the other as 4M26 1441 Dagenham-Gresty Lane. I think 4M26 goes to Garston so perhaps the two were the same or similar trains with 830 only working to Crewe Gresty Lane. Can anybody confirm? Thanks.

47200 was intended to top'n'tail with 828 ont he vice unit workings above but had a coolant leak.

47355 at Newton Heath is apparently awaiting collection by Fragonset. It is not believed to have worked since its last reported workings on here. Confirmed sightings of 355 at Newton Heath have been received on: 20/06 @ 1500 14/06 @ 1430 13/06 09/06 @ 0100.

At Sheffield Railway Auction two weeks ago one of 47581’s name and crests (Great Eastern) were for sale with a reserve price of £5500. 581 became 763 and was scrapped last year. In update to this this 'lot' did not sell so presumably nobody met the reserve price.

47303 was seen heading light engine east through Stratford at 1230.

47306 was seen still at St Blazey just over a week ago. Also seen around the same time was 47348 which leads a line up of 31's at Meldon Quarry.

47105 is expected to work serveral trips on the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway (vice steam loco) this coming Sat currently expected to be on the 1130 1330 and 1530 outward trips from Toddington and the corresponding returns.

47829 is out of traffic at Crewe LNWR currently awaiting 'several' parts and should not be expected back in traffic any time soon.

47200 at Oxley was again allocated to 0Z47 Oxley-Oxley - venturing out on route learning duties and 0Z48 Oxley to presumably - Oxley but via where? It was seen at Oxley during this morning and at Preston yesterday afternoon.

47805 is still showing as being at Selhurst but is now known to have moved elsewhere by road. It was seen this morning in a siding at the south end of Crewe Carriage Shed beyond the sidings to the south - sandwiched by some Freightliner wagons.

47798: it is believed to have worked light engine from Grosmont to Pickering and back on 27th June. It hasn't worked a train since the gala due to a lack of air braked stock. It has been suggested that it may return to the National Railway Museum next week. Further to the above 798's light engine movements on 27th were: 1545 Grosmont-Pickering and 1715 return (in a scheduled gap between passenger services).

47712 has finally returned to traffic (maintenance completed yesterday) seen heading south towards Kettering through Desborough with one Mk2 at 1236.

47826 plus 31602 were seen passing York northbound top'n'tail with stock at 1400.

1Z38 1024 Dundee-Leuchars/ 5Z88 1044 Leuchars-Dundee were cancelled due to a lack of passengers would have been 47709 and 47712.

47501 had been allocated to work 1D22/1A41 but this was worked by 57311 a contributor points out that its scheduled departure time from Carlisle on 0D22 of 0900 was a touch optimistic as this would have given the loco two hours to do the 141 miles to Crewe and light locomotives are allowed to go no faster than 60mph. The light loco move also left Carlisle 61 minutes late!

47810 also worked the Greene King Brewery charter from Bury St Edmunds to Yarmouth top'n'tailing with 86235 (which was removed at Norwich) so 810 worked from Bury St Edmunds-Stowmarket and Norwich-Yarmouth. On arrival the reverser on 810 wouldnt work thus 1V21 had to be a 153 as the crossover was blocked. 810 was repaired by the driver on the scene.

Somewhen during today 47712 and 832 ran light to Perth for fuel the return working was 0Z90.

A suggestion about 5A01/5A40 on Sat mornings; they may be to do with the motorail vans (two of them) being taken off separately from the main carriages the motorail only runs on Fri nights so this could be the answer.

47840s suggested ECS run to Laira on 5th July unfortunately DIDNT happen it was allocated to the train but only shunted the empty stock at Old Oak Common leaving the hard work to a 57.

Re: 5A01/5A40 on Sat mornings... as had been suggested to explain why 47840 works two ECS trains it has been confirmed that after 1A40 arrives from Penzance the two motorail vehicles are removed and positioned at the unloading bay on platform 1A (the extreme west end of platform 1) after unloading it then goes empty to Old Oak with 840 (or relevant loco) and then the loco comes back light to Paddington to take the rest of the sleeper set at 0751. However 5A01 does not run (despite allocation) IF there are no cars contained within the motorail vehicles. Also received another confirmation about the ECS that 840 was initially reported to have worked to Laira on 5th July 840 did shunt the stock (which was former Virgin HST stock) for a 57 to haul to the west.

47200 and 47316 were both on Oxley depot this evening at 1810. 200 was on the fuel point and 316 was coupled to a rake of mk3s. 200 had been to Derby as reported above with three mk3 TSOs two in Virgin livery and one in what the contributor described as half livery. Presumably half painted out of Virgin livery rather than being another bizarre new operator name like one.

A regular contributor reports that he saw 47714 working a Felixstowe freightliner working serveral years ago back then it obviously didnt have green circle multi so perhaps Tue working really was the first time a 47/7 or 47/8 had worked with a no heat supply loco using that particular multi working equipment although 714 was hired to Freightliner from 23rd February for roughly a week but isnt believed to have worked any services.

Also all the Holyhead Virgin workings on Sat and Sun will be worked by mk3 sets except the first morning departure from Holyhead on Sat and the last Sun evening one from Crewe on Sun. Evidently Crewe is the place to be again this weekend as all these workings call or start/finish from the station!

The JXA wagons behind 200+828 were better described by a contributor as long wheelbase rectangular shaped looked like they could be for carrying ore / stone which made more sense to me than JXA!

There is also a NENTA tour this weekend with 47709 and 47832 (any sightings of the NENTA would be appreciated as most of the usual contributors will be in Scotland.)

Also due to 37408 having collision damage there is a chance of a 47 working on Valley Lines services as from Mon but we've heard that one before! There seems to be more of a chance this time but withdrawn 37421 (according to wnxx.com) is being prepared for a return to service at Motherwell so if any Sulzer action in the Valleys does take place then it may not be for very long - depending on the current state of 37421.

A point that I have previously forgotten to mention the Sun night sleeper ECS from Old Oak Common to Paddington goes via the Greenford loop so that the set is turned. This is caused by diversions meaning that the sleeper goes via Yeovil on a Sun night. This also then means that the Mon morning ECS also does the same but reversed obviously.

Random question for the day: Do steam loco's have to be fitted with 'black box' data recorders by the end of this year like all other traction?

47828 is apparently to be standby at Gloucester today and tomorrow. Standby for what though.

A well hidden train apparently ran this morning with 47853 1Z71 0810 Kensington Olympia-Cardiff with 47839 on the rear despite 47812 having been allocated. This is obviously why three 47's are now at Canton (839 and 853 joining 847) so presumably 37 fans needn't worry about all the Rhymney diagrams being 47's tomorrow!

47839 is expected to work for Arriva tomorrow on a Cardiff-Rhymney working in the evening peak probably the 1711 from Cardiff.

Re: Suns random question yes steam loco’s do have to be fitted with ‘black boxes’ but will most likely be a less complex one to the examples fitted to other traction.

Some random facts sent to me about the Mallaig tour last Sat and the loco’s involved: it was the first time a 47 has ever gone beyond Spean Bridge (a loco(s) had been there during the Goldon Jubilee) interestingly the furthest west a 47 has ever been (not quite in the Atlantic though Mr Green…) 47854 was ‘new’ in November 1965 and was based in Scotland from new until March 1994 (as D1972 47271 47604 and 47674). The other loco on the tour 826 was also new in the same month and also became a Scottish allocated loco and remained there until November 1987 (as D1976 47274 and 47637). 47674 was stored in March 1994 (so when was its period in the south in large logo NSE shade of blue?) and was dragged coincidentally by 826 from there to Crewe Works on 27th September 1995.

Every company with mainline registered 47’s have loco’s working trains today. Within the last seven days there has certainly been some variety of locations visited by a class of such a small number these days.

Next to 47303’s number on a ‘Trust’ enquiry this morning was the word ‘save’! It was expected off maintenance this morning (was N/511). Other loco’s out of traffic (that can be expected back in traffic): 47309 at Southampton exp OK 12/08 47501 at Carlisle Kingmoor OOS since 29/07 A exam and engine repairs exp OK 19/08 47703 at Derby RTC OOS since 21/07 C exam exp OK 28/07 (overdue) 47829 at Crewe Carriage Shed OOS since 23/06 coolant leak exp OK 15/08 (awaiting materials). 47815 is possibly now available for traffic again it was showing as ‘maintenance complete’.

The SERCO test train with 47145 and 47355 will work: Thu - 1Z14 0737 Carmarthen-Swansea via Port Talbot(reverse) Swansea(reverse) Briton Ferry(reverse) Llandarcy(reverse) Onllwyn(reverse) arr Swansea 1703. Fri - 1Z14 0709 Swansea-Derby RTC (arr 1638).

47812 was seen heading south through Rugby light engine at 1200.

Any confirmed sightings of 848 on Rhymneys this week are appreciated and also 840 on ECS moves. Even though it might be booked for the same move every day there can never be too many confirmed sightings of the same working. Also my regular 1V01/1V06 contributor is away from his computer all of next week so if anybody has any sightings of these workings (even if its to confirm they are units) then I would be grateful. Thanks.

The Brush Type 4 Fund's 47376 will be renamed 'Freightliner 1995' on Sat 24th September 2005 at 12:10 in Toddington railway station during the Sat of the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway's diesel gala during which 47105 and 47376 will both be running. 376 has of course been repainted into two tone grey during the year. Quoted from the Brush Type 4 Fund's press release is the following round up of info about 47376: "47376 was the first loco to carry Freightliner triple grey livery and was originally named at Crewe Basford Hall open day on August 28th 1995. "47376 was purchased from Freightliner in November 2002 and moved to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway in June 2003 via the MOD site at Ashchurch where ‘376 received the engine from fellow Brush Type 4 Fund loco 47295. 47376 was started in preservation in July 2003. "47376 last worked a train on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway on 10th April 2005 since April the loco has been undergoing a repaint into Freightliner Triple Grey livery."

Further to the comment that only 402 of the Crewe Works 47 line up was built at Loughborough I am told that 47815 (works no.519) and 47150 (works no.514) were also built at Loughborough.

Although 47839 had been hired to work Rhymney's at the weekend it wasn't required as 37405/411/419 were available plus 37425 being used on a tour to Crewe for the open weekend so presumably 839 did not work 2R42 on Fri evening meaning that after Tue morning last week all loco hauled passenger workings in the area were worked by 37's.

D1705 on the Great Central Railway passed its test run yesterday and is available for the GCR Gala which starts on this Fri.

News

Last Sat was the final booked loco hauled working to Yarmouth plans for loco hauled services again to Yarmouth (as a through train from London) have now been dropped. Presumably occasional short notice workings will still occur if there is a shortage of units.

47768 has apparently been preserved.

47769 was moved from the East Lancs Railway yesterday to Barrow Hill presumably ending its career on the railway with an aim on returning it to main line service. It was removed by 47815 and 47839 in a top'n'tail style.

47303 is on its way up north to become a road learner around the West Midlands for the rest of the week. The Nene Valley Railway had advertised this loco as being used in their gala last weekend but a 66 replaced it as the 47 was still on exam and had still been on exam early this morning.

47812 at Old Oak Common is indeed being repainted into two tone green with full yellow ends as per WCRC's also former Virgin Cross Country 47851.

47840 is shown as having worked a 2C33 0138 Paddington-Old Oak Common HST Depot last night perhaps a staff move?

Note/remember that there is a Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway diesel gala this weekend involving use of 47105 and 47376 which on Sat at Cheltenham Racecourse shortly after midday will include 47376's rededication to its Freightliner name.

News

It has been suggested that 47768 is heading for the Vale of Glamorgan railway having emerged from Springs Branch. At Springs Branch today 47474 was visible easily from the main line one of just a handful of the class left there.

It is planned that FGW leased Porterbrook owned (their last one except 345 at Loughborough) 47840 will come off lease from First this Fri (1st October) subject to the 57 fleet being available (although last Sun three of the four were at Laira if 840 had not been in use there wouldn't have been an ECS loco at Old Oak Common.) It is expected to move into preservation at the West Somerset Railway shortly after but the loco is believed to be in a poor state of repair and requires a 'fair bit' of mechanical attention. Vacuum brakes and a repaint to two tone green can be expected on the WSR in the future.

47769 47815 and 47818 may be being fitted with green circle multi working at Barrow Hill.

Not previously reported but last weekends Minehead tour was powered by 47316 with 813 just providing train heating again as the multi problem from the pervious tour (presumably with newly fitted 813) hadn't been repaired. 316 was Low on oil at Bristol (Oxley hadn't topped it up.) so the pair were swapped around with 813 working alone at the front. 316 was topped up at Minehead and presumably worked the return tour back north with 813 providing ETS again.

News

Things to point out at the moment: Remember it'll be 47840's last appearances on the Old Oak Common-Paddington sleeper workings this week. Further to yesterdays news. 47316 did suffer Low oil last Sat the two 47's were detached at Bristol on the outward run and were turned via St Phillips Marsh to reverse them. 47813 worked the train forward 47316 was dead in tow. At Minehead 813 ran round; 316 was topped up but was left on the rear. This remained the situation throughout back to Wolverhampton. 47714 and 47818's odd light engine jaunts to Lowestoft last weekend have been explained they were not as standby loco's but providing a 'cab-it' experience for those wanting to look around the driving cabs this was offered at Norwich and also at Lowestoft on both days.

47851 was noted today passing through Lancaster with 6320 in tow at 0930 and in the evening was seen at Heaton Chapel at 1822.

News

Very little news coming in lately the only things at the moment: 47840 has randomly been transferred to GBRf (as rumoured elsewhere) presumably on hire rather than a change of ownership rumoured to be for route learning (odd seeing as at least one of their drivers would need knowledge of driving 47s too.)

Somebody asked: when did 47114 work on the Cardiff Valleys apparently it was late on one Sat night during a Millennium stadium rugby/football match - a 37 had possibly failed and 114 came out to replace it working a trip to Bargoed (or possibly Rhymney) maybe top and tail with another class of loco. I cant remember anything about it can anyone else with provide dates and journey details - may have been in 1999/2000/2001? Somebody answered: this was 23rd October 1999. It worked following the failure of 31459 with a main generator fault. It was on the Cardiff end of what is believed to have been the 1816 Bargoed to Cardiff Central top and tailing with 50044 having gone up on the rear of the 1706 from Cardiff Central. It is then thought to have gone back north on the rear of the 1906 from Central but this returned from the Valley as an ECS.

When passing Crewe today I saw 47829 right out the back of the Crewe LNWR depot on the line to Stoke next to a faded grey Freightliner 47 at the south end of the shed lined up were 47805 47847 and 47848 with another Virgin liveried 47.

Conclusion jumping correction: in response to yesterdays comment that 47812 is in green; it probably isn't. Somebody asked me what the green 47 at Old Oak Common was so having heard that 812 was being painted green I presumed it to be that ex works. Somebody else points out that 47815 at Old Oak Common is green.

More repaint news: Earlier in the week I announced that 47640 had been repainted into BR Blue livery apparently this had happened by the end of April(!) so apologies for sounding rather misleading. 47812 is indeed at the moment being repainted into 851 style two tone green the full yellow ends have been applied and masking has recently been fitted for the bodyside painting.

47851's saloon trip returns tomorrow arriving at Kensington Olympia at 1425 departing empty back to Rugby at 1431 where it's due to arrive at 1605.

Green Express are running a charter on Sat 10th December from Scarborough to Carlisle via the Cumbrian Coast(!) with special permission from Network Rail. Traditionally stock with opening windows has not been allowed along this route due to restricted clearance but the train only contains First and Pullman class so will presumably be 'Pullman' mk2's only which have no opening windows.

47237 is no longer out of service at Carlisle Kingmoor it is available for traffic as of yesterday.

Tomorrow 47847 and 47848 are expected to work a test run in multiple from Barrow Hill to Crewe down holding sidings towing 47575 and 20096.

News

47150 has been reinstated to the DFLH pool today 47303 though is out of traffic at Lawley Street after working 4M55 on the 7th - described as having 'really c**p batteries'.

Subject to final confirmation WCRC are providing one set of load nine carriages and two loco's for additional services by Central Trains for Lincoln Christmas Market on Sat 3rd December. The set will work two round trips between Nottingham and Lincoln non stop. Two loco's from the 47/57 fleet are expected to be used. The expected workings are the 0927 Nottingham-Lincoln 1038 return 1140 Nottingham-Lincoln and 1700 return. A full barrier check will be going on at Lincoln all day and after 1500 apparently only ticket holders will be admitted on to platforms around ten minutes before each train departure.

I'm being asked regularly about the likelihood of a return to traffic for 47829 recently understandably. I've heard via reliable sources that there doesn't seem to be an intention currently to return it to use although if anyone can correct me I'm sure we'd all be pleased! If you need a photo of it head for Crewe station it was still fully visible today from the south end of the platforms. I also saw 47848 and another Virgin one top'n'tailing a rake of stock outside Crewe LNWR with 848 on the northern end of the rake. Yesterday evening 47815 and 47839 were seen parked in the sidings together.

A 47 is expected to haul two Deltics and the new Blue Pullman FM Rail coach running as 5Z47 0930 Barrow Hill-York NRM tomorrow.

47811 was seen heading eastbound through Forest Gate with two barrier vehicles at 0620.

47829 is confirmed as still being stored unserviceable but with a long term aim of returning it to traffic.

No other additional trains ran for ATW due to a gas leak at Dorrington this even delayed 1Z11 by an hour and the return working was expected to come back ECS on Sat.

47840 was at Old Oak Common yesterday for an A exam. Despite now being operated by GBRf it is still maintained by First Great Western at Old Oak Common.

Seen on Rail-gen 47840 was intended to work 1Z95 1900 Willesden PRDC-Warrington Railnet and 1A93 return on Tues evening did this happen?
In response to this I'm told that TOPS reports that the loco worked 1Z93 1900 PRDC-Warrington RMT departed at 1846 and 1A93 2305 return leaving on time and that it was seen the following morning at Willesden.
With the end of scheduled class 47 hauled passenger train services for One in Anglia some time ago and now the beginning of class 57 hauled services for Arriva in North Wales - this has now ruled off the final remaining stongholds of the class 47 and it seems now that memories along with a few charters and preserved and freight workings will be ever more important as time goes on.

47303 is now stored unserviceable after arriving at Crewe Basford Hall with 4M68 shortly after midnight. It was obviously serviceable when it arrived so one would imagine some component recovery to fix other loco's has begun.

47847 worked an ECS to Holyhead yesterday evening to swap stock over it took six mk2's up there and bought back five different ones.

Some potentially good news the Cardiff-Fishguard run that is currently 37/4's is expected to change traction from the new year well - the 3rd of January. It is likely to be 47 hauled although at the moment there is no indication of whose class 47s they will be. Hopefully (but doubtful) the north Wales turn can follow suit - otherwise I won't have much to write about next year if the above doesn't happen...!

News

47813 is currently expected to work 1P04 0625 Liverpool Street to Norwich tomorrow due to a DBSO fault.

Latest comment on the Fishguard loco hauled turn is that the 37's finished on Fri and that the turn is now booked for a 158 with 37's deputising as and when required if Arriva are short of units - so at the moment in theory there are no long term plans for any 47 action.

47712 lead 47709 from Carnforth back to Derby in their new Blue Pullman blue livery they are described to have white window surrounds (looking a bit like the original Network South East livery from the front) and a plain blue body side and have both kept their Fragonset nameplates. I have not seen any photographs of these though but they left Carnforth after 1pm today together.
