    An updated version of the Road Meets Rail timetable has been posted on the website, fixing some minor errors with timing in the previous version.

    It had better be, I'm rostered on it on the Sunday afternoon!

    The internal HOPS system says 80151 and 32424.

    Seems to be a bit of a conflict of information somewhere - 34059 is rostered on the A Set, and it’s either 80151 or 32424 for the B Set. 65 is rostered for the Goods on Saturday and GAL on Sunday.

    I'm sure it said 80151 and 32424 when I looked earlier this evening (unless I was looking at the wrong day!) But now the crew rosters are saying 34059 (A) and 32424 (B), with 65 on the Saturday Goods / Sunday GAL as you say.

    The suggestion I have from a source close to the heart of the railway is that there has been a change of engine so it's now 34059 (A) and 80151 (B). If I remember correctly it used to be 80151 and 32424. Beachy Head is going to Didcot the following weekend. My guess is 34059, 80151, 65. Sometimes it takes a few days for information to reach HOPS even once it has been confirmed.
