RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Two car 221144 at Crewe June 2011 There were four 4-car 221's built 141-144. 144 was split to make two of the others (142/143) up to 5 cars to standardise the Virgin West Coast fleet to 5 car 221s (221141 is in the Cross Country fleet) 221144 was used for staff training purposes for a couple of years and IIRC, it couldn't actually travel around on it's own as a 2-car. There's currently a swap round with various cars to return 221144 to use with XC in the coming months.

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted August 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2017 We seem to have stuck for 149, pity I didn't get the adjacent signal on the North Western side. Only one I can find of it at the moment doesn't show the number plate clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Will this help to move things along? 45149 departs Weston-super-Mare with the 10.28 Taunton to Birmingham new Street, the car park in the background was the site of the 1914 Locking Road Excursion Station and carriage sidings which closed in 1964, 5/4/80 150 next is easy... cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted August 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Here's a different numbering scheme - Seaford 150. At this point in the tour 70013 was at the rear of the train. It ran down leading into Seaford, via Lewes. Then, on the tail, they went round to Brighton - forward to Eastbourne - backwards to Hastings and finally, with 70013 in charge once more, back to London, via Tonbridge. More photos from the celebration weekend are in my gallery at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/4266-seaford-150-celebrations/ Edited August 14, 2017 by phil_sutters 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 DB EuroSprinter class 152 in advertising livery at Festival der Eisenbahn, Nürnberg, 2002. These were not the first DB class 152. Going back to the days of a divided Germany, some Bavarian class EP5 electrics became DB class E52, surviving to carry the computerised numbers as class 152. I saw one of these in service at Nürnberg Hbf in July 1973* - my train passing on an adjacent track too quickly to get a photo (which would have been a blurry Instamatic shot at best). (*Strange as Wikipedia has them finishing in February of that year!). One - perhaps the same one - has been preserved in a non-operational condition, restored to its Bavarian State Railways livery. The location? You've guessed it - Nürnberg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted August 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have several photos of Stagecoach buses, with fleet numbers starting 157, one near Oxford station and a couple at Hastings station, but I guess that's pushing things way too far, although I did check the rail replacement buses, that we saw an awful lot of last year, to see if any on them had a 157 number. They would have at least had the honour of substituting for trains - but none had a 157 number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
