You 'may' have found that the North Transpennine workings would have had Deltics on them, not 100% certain when the 55's started doing turns over the top. Paul You have to get a red before you can get any other colour Log in to reply The following user said thank you: woodruff |

Euston services - Cl.85-87 (quite a bit of variety) New St./cross country services - 47/4s or Cl.85-86 transpennines to newcastle/scarbro - Cl.45/46 (not class 44s!) Transpennine DMUs will be CL.124 5 cars. Glasgow/carlisle - Cl.47/4s or possibly 40s (50s were down south by 1977, they left around 1973/4) loco hauleds to preston/warrington would be 25's unsure on norwich workings Blackpool North would be Cl.25s thats taken from my research for a 1974 timetable Paul. CL.55s worked TPS around 79-80 while Penmanshiels was blockaded, as HST's took most diagrams, leaving them "spare" "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: woodruff |

Trans-Pennine loco hauled services were definately not Cl.44 hauled. Trans-Pennine services were worked by Cl.40s, Cl.45s, Cl.46s & Cl.47s. Deltice as previously stated worked Trans-Pennine services when they were allocated to York in the final years of service. All class of AC electrics from Cl.81 to Cl.87s were employed on WCML services.

Guys, For (Deltic) Class 55 workings by year can I recommend the following web site. http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk. This excellent web site will give you the booked workings by years, what they may possibly be seen on and a very detailed history of each member of the class including workings and works visits.

I am sure that 1977 was too early for Liverpool - Norwich services. Class 31's never really reached Liverpool until the second ETH batch were converted in the 1980's, when they replaced the Transpennine Class 123/124 units on the Hull services. Transpennine loco hauled services could be class 40/45/46/47 Class 44's were allocated to Toton and only used on freight trains by then. I remember seeing them at Nuneaton on coal trains about then. AC electrics could be any of class 81-87, from my bashing days "roarers" (class 81-85) could turn up anywhere on the AC system, but Euston services were generally class 86 or 87. Hope this helps Calvin Log in to reply The following user said thank you: woodruff |
