    It is likely that the service this weekend on the NYMR will be Black Five heaven - up to 4 Black Fives in traffic - 44767, 45212, 45407 and 45428!

    Tomorrow (Saturday), it is quite likely, all will be in use.

    Well, you just beat me to this one! With 825 stopped for a washout next week and 60007, 63395, 49395 & 92214 still under repair, it is likely to be 4 x Black 5's for much of the week! Shades of 1968.

    A mate of mine has been up on the Moors for a week and he can confirm the use of four Black 5s.
