Heard that this week has been a busy week for movements in and out using the mainline connection

55022 out for Mainline Railtour
56312 in for Diesel Gala
44871 out for Tyre Turning - did this go to Tyseley ?
67??? in to collect 71000
67??? & 71000 out to Southall for 71000 mainline tour
55022 due back 21:45 this evening after mainline tour

Does anyone know the id of the 67 as I believe it was one that has not worked on the line before ?
Also interested why 71000 requires a diesel for a light engine movement South ? Can anyone shed any light

Presume next week will see 56312 depart with 50008, destination unknown

67026 was the 67 that collected 71000.

44871 went to Neville Hill, 67 with dog cuts down watering stops etc

I asked the very same question of the 71000 trust and i was told its cheaper to have it dragged than to go under its own power???
The group have decided that all light loco moves will be hauled buy a diesel now due to cost.
