DRS split-box 37 to the west - 22/23 May

[James]

CGW from SWRG provides this gen gem!

Morning All

Hagrid in Deepest Plymuff has been casting spells and has found the
following information about the DRS driver training runs in connection
with Devonport traffic

Instead of the expected 47 tomorrow should produce 37029 on its own.

0Z48 0930 Crewe Coal Sidings - Plymouth

Cheltenham Spa 1241
Bristol Parkway 1404
Bristol Temple Meads 1448 (!) expect early running!
Bridgwater 1525
Taunton 1555
Exeter St Davids 1650
Newton Abbot 1714
Totnes 1725
Plymouth 1757

On Tuesday the likely move is as follows

Plymouth Dock 4 dep approx 0930
Keyham Ground Frame then Taunton
Then Taunton - Plymouth

Then Plymouth - Exeter - Plymouth

Return to Carlisle will be on Wednesday, and further training runs will
take place.

The usual disclaimers apply about early running and other changes!

Bloody sun went behind a cloud (possibly from the 37's exhaust!) just at the wrong moment, so it's dark and blurred. Driver floored it when he saw me with the camera...they're all show-offs
