The Easterling 2013

If 47245 has to goto Norwich, and a crew has to first get to Ilford..

My guess its at least 4 hours before there's any action at Norwich, unless of course there's an Anglian trains rabbit pulled from the hat.

as and another (presume 57) has to get to Liverpool st to collect..it maybe easier to terminate at Stratford and let 47245 take the stock around the ELL.
We shall see.

 

47828 is reported as working the return to Liverpool Street

 

does anyone know where the train is as i still plan to catch it, i looked on rtt but cant find anything, bad news about tangmere

 

thanks, but it still says that it is ment to sit in marks tey up loop for over an hour, if it's a diesel whats the point?

 

Only the one clip today because of the problems.
Seen approaching Manningtree:

 

good video, im hoping to catch the diesel train at witham if it is not early as it is mean to sit in marks tey loop for a hour

 

the train is now at colchester

 

Not surprised Tangmere is crocked, its been the kingpin of most Southern tours these last few months, shouldering more than its fair share of the work. I know it throws a fit now and again traction wise, but its been a real stalwart. Without it there would have been many cancelations.

 

This clip might be of some interest.
My shot of Tangmere at Manningtree was supposed to be an hors d'oeuvres followed by the main course - the train crossing the River Yare on the 110 year old Reedham Swing Bridge on the line between Norwich and Lowestoft.
When I filmed this I thought the bridge was closing in preparation for Tangmere's arrival. Alas! I was wrong.
Be warned, the bridge closes very slowly!

 

i just about saw the train at witham, the 47 was towing tangmere, that was about half an hour ago i will upload a video soon!

 

here is my video

 

Oh dear no, don't want videos infected with all that bells and whistle's foreign muck. Just plain old steam pudding on here please.

 

Any pictures of a DRS 47 on Wcrc stock ?, doesn't happen every day ?

See it arrived back in Liverpool st an hour early.

 

yer it was ment to stop in marks tey up loop for an hour but didnt

 

There's a couple on Flickr (not mine), just type in '47828' in the search bar, click on 'recent' and they should appear. If I had remembered 828 was a DRS one I'd have probably been at Liverpool St myself!
