    They are indeed part of the West Coast fleet. The blue livery is because both are ex-Arriva Trains Wales and used to work the Welsh Assembly train between Holyhead and Cardiff.

    So, does anyone know what the Bodmin move was actually for? Does the MHR not have the capacity for its overhaul, has it changed hands, etc?

    It is one of John Bunch's 5 locos that are all due to leave the Midhants this year - agreement ends at the end of August. It was never going to be overhauled at the Midhants after the fallout many years ago. It is rumoured to be going to Carnforth for overhaul.

    I expect it is 34046. It was mentioned by someone from/connected with LSL in another thread, that 34046 would be heading to Bristol for the Torbays.

    Yes, just about on time Twyford. What I don't understand about the RTT timesheet is that actuals are shown in grey BEFORE time ! ie, its not at Didcot yet but a time is shown !!. Oh well.....
