If it sticks to diagram 66769 should work 4L21 Tinsley to Felixstowe overnight and then 4E21 Felixstowe to Tinsley tomorrow. Most GBRf locos show on RealTimeTrains, so if you type the number in the Menu:Search box it should show if it's out. 66614 has worked to Elstow this afternoon and will go to Tunstead overnight, so could work a diagram off Tunstead(or Earles)tomorrow morning to a South East destination.

@@MrDeltic15 thank u

Thanks very much. Yes, the Auroras are a novelty to start with, but will soon get boring once they're in squadron service.

@@MrDeltic15 I wonder how long it'll be before they take half of the fleet out due to finding cracks like they did in the GWR and LNER ones.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Yep, fashions certainly changed as much as loco liveries!

If it runs the first one is down to run today, due Market Harborough 15:08 Southbound and 16:41 Northbound, formed of ex Cross Country HST 43301 & 43303 with four Mk3 trailers and Europhoenix 91117.

Thank you very much Keith.

Yes, since more freight goes via Spalding now it's not like it used to be - the footbridge to the South gets everything, but is very awkward to get decent photos and video from.

Cheers Tony.

The ECML has certainly had some issues of late due to various reasons. It does make the passing passenger workings a bit more interesting as you say. I was going yesterday, but when 44871 from York and 66731 from Ditton got cancelled that put me off.

Thanks!

Thank you kindly Keith.

Certainly something to do with the wheels shorting on some of the stock. I'm just about to try something out to see if it fixes the problem - results in the next upload!

Thanks very much. Slow and steady progress with work and going out more lately, but no rush anyway.

Thank you very much Andrew. All the best from England.

It is a lovely little village with both the station and nearby road bridge offering plenty of shots. Thanks David.

Thank you Keith. Hope all is good with you.

Thanks. Yes, wasn't expecting that for sure - the days before any gen groups, RTT, and Railcam!

Thanks very much. Yes, it was a pretty good month for traction variety.

Not the best for keeping clean, but it certainly stands out and suits the HST like so many liveries do.

I think a lot of people are waking up to "green washing" now, but there's not a lot we can do about it.

Certainly was good to see one back again, especially with the EMR trailers.

Thanks Keith. Some rare locos this month indeed - a couple of even rarer ones will appear in July!

Must have walked by each other a couple of times then I guess.

Thanks very much. Yes, such a shame to see all those parked up in such a mess there, but hopefully some may see use with Land Recovery, and there could potentially be a re-engineered version if a test is a success.

I guess our paths must have crossed indeed. There certainly was a few about for this bit of history.

Still waiting for a proper MML run Tony, but it must be getting closer with the OHL going live betwen Kettering and Wigston Jct now.

It's not clickbait if you take the time to read the description. He tells you what went wrong.

@@neilcrawford8303 Nothing wrong at the location though . . . . who cares what happens elsewhere?

@EllieMaes-Grandad It does matter in this context, because what happened elsewhere had an impact on what he went to record at this location.

@@neilcrawford8303 It does matter in this context... It is a clickbait title because it is what brings you to watch the video in the first place. You shouldn't need to read a description because the title should say it all and not mislead. Nothing went wrong in the video and like EllieMaes-Grandad said nothing happened at the location and who cares what happened anywhere else.

Okay, so let me address this. Firstly, on a couple of visits before this(and again on a following visit)various things have gone wrong meaning locos/services I've gone with the specific intent of filming have either run very late or not at all - on this visit I was after ex Colas now GBRf 60096 on hire to DC Rail on a freight that ended up running late in the evening after I'd left and I could've got the other two workings much closer to home had I known this. Now I have somewhere in the region of 1,500 videos on my channel and none of them have have "Clickbait" titles as you're welcome to check. However, having seen other channels use "Clickbait" titles and get thousands of views for pretty plain content, I thought I'd test a theory and give this movie a somewhat different title to usual. Now to my mind the previous two movies I made here are much more interesting and have more unusual content, but they are only on around 300 views compared to this one around 5,000 views - so as suspected with so many things these days it doesn't matter how much time and effort I put into travelling, filming, editing, and making content, the vast majority of people will just click on something less interesting(usually under a minute long too)if the title grabs their attention.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Here's a clue. Read the description for the video. He lists quite comprehensively what went wrong.

​@@neilcrawford8303 Nothing went wrong at the location though, that's the point.

Possibly because there was a level crossing here, closed in the early 1990s after the wires had been strung up.

60096 ran from Brandon to Ely(to crossover)as booked and got back to Brandon an hour early, but then the points failed there so it couldn't get the wagons and had to go back to Ely again to clear the line for the passenger services. Whilst back at Ely several signals failed in the area requiring trains to be talked through at very reduced speeds, and until this and the Brandon points issue was fixed they held it there - eventually running around 2hrs late.

Hi keith any idea.when you are out again ??.hope you and your boys are OK..that's if you can get out ??😊

You're always welcome to join me Keith, I'll provide the transport anytime you like.

Thank you. Not the amount of freight there should've been normally, but at least there were some other things to keep me busy.

Thanks very much Keith. The offer of transport is always there for trips like this if you're up for it.

I honestly don't know what the answer is Keith - the best part of 9,400 subscribers plus other visitors and my views have plummeted this past year.

How so........?

Thanks very much. It's been running workings around Drax and Scunthorpe for a while lately.

Cheers mate. Slow but steady progress.

Thanks very much Andy. Yes, I'm sure it'll be down to the wheel flanges on some stock, so I'm just about to make some track joint changes that hopefully will sort this out.

I did have layouts in the distant past(literally the previous century!), but have only just started up again properly in the last 12 months - the full size real stuff has always been there since the mid 1970s though! Thanks very much.

Honestly Keith, if even a very short little video like this with interesting workings doesn't get the attention I don't know what the answer is.
