    Can 100% say it won't be Omaha or 5239 - 75014 or 4277 are the most likely candidates though 4555 has seen use recently too

    I'm planning to pop down there tomorrow but obviously that'll be too late to be a useful answer for you! I'm hoping for a last look at the S160 running, having only seen it working once and never had a ride behind it there, but I expect that's a very long shot.
