  • 37423 + 57008 t'n't = 5Z20 0545 Carlisle Kingmoor-Workington/ Maryport shuttles/ 5Z21 2105 Workington-Carlisle Kingmoor.
  • 47739 + 47749 = 0Z47 1150 Dagenham Dock-Ashford.
  • 47760 = 5Z82 0850 Southall-Victoria/ 5Z83 1644 Victoria-Southall.
  • 47760 + steam 34067 t'n't = 1Z82 1044 Victoria-Victoria via Swanley-Ashford-Hastings-Tonbridge(steam, 760 assisting from rear).

  • This is the first day that the Workington-Maryport shuttle has ran without using any 47s, after the failure of 47501 yesterday and previous failure of 47790. The train has to have an electric train supply capable loco of course, hence the use of 37423 today.
