Hi

Just come passed on train from Worksop to Sheffield & 2 possibly 3 track machines in the top yard where the 465s & 466s are stored.

Does anyone have the numbers of these please.

I passed on 17/07/24 and it appears there is a further stoneblower on the HNRL Depot side. For those who know the site it's right up at the east end in the line nearest B&Q. Can anyone confirm which one it is? Thanks

There was an inbound 6U31 on the 11th of July from Oxford that hasn’t left yet as far as I can see. 6U31 should be DR80211.

Appreciate the help. 80211 was reportedly seen at Derby on 13/07/24 so maybe not it or that's a mistaken sighting

Cheers

A sighting of 80201 has been recorded at HNRC Worksop for yesterday. Does anyone know when it arrived? Thanks

Unless something else has been 'borrowing' its code, it *should* have worked from Hatton to Kings Norton in the early hours of yesterday morning, and is due off there to Princes Risborough later today. If it's running with the correct code at the moment, the Worksop sighting is almost certainly in error.

Again, if using the correct code, DR80211 should have worked to Port Talbot on the 23rd, and isn't due off there until very early on Saturday morning.
