Uh...I said everything in the title

The info is from Nat again...what group isn't he on!

Waiting for more detailed times...Tuesday is going to be an interesting day with the 47-hauled scrapper also running through Bristol!

Am I right in thinking DRS don't currently run services to Plymouth? In that case, does anyone know what they have in mind?

They did this before with 2x Class 20s, and later ran some weedkilling trains, maybe that could be it?

According to Hugh Dady on SWRG:

"DRS route refresher still on for tomorrow Carlisle - Ply and return from Ply
mid-morning on Wednesday. 66 requested but so many of them are currently sick
that I suspect a couple of rotten old Duffs - money apparently on 47501
currently at Grangemouth having done 4S51 - we shall see."

Two 47s through Bristol?

Cor!! I guess Parkway is the spot to sit for this little lot. Do we know the route for the DRS route learner yet? (My Yahoo mail seems to be arriving in dribs and drabs and very late!)

I expect there will be more detailed times soon...

Will you be at Parkway then?

No chance I'm afraid... I have the 'delivery round from hell' tomorrow and the chance of me being close to a railway line when these things pass through is remote.

Having said that, I'll give it a go if the timings come through before I leave in the morning. (I'll be south of Bristol in the afternoon though, definately not Parkway)
