Mutual Improvement arrives in Norfolk

June 3rd, 2010 by Oli Smith

As reported earlier on last week, 56101 has now safely arrived in Norfolk. GBRF arrived on the MNR branch with the loco around 1600, slightly earlier than planned. Some photos below taken by our very own roving paparazzi Geoff Tibble show the ‘Grid’s arrival in the flatlands! The idea of a running day with 56101 in the near future is being discussed with the operations team at MNR – rest assured you’ll read about it here first!

56101 on the move!

May 25th, 2010 by Oli Smith

Privately owned 56101 will be on the move to the Mid Norfolk Railway tomorrow, 26th May. Grid ‘101 will be taking up duties at the MNR’s Dereham base for the forseeable future while group loco 56040 is off site for repairs. GB Railfreight will be moving the loco working as the 0920 0A56 service from Eastleigh Works – Dereham MNR, hopefully arriving shortly before 1700.

Some rough times are thus: Eastleigh (09/29), Basingstoke (10/04), Woking (10/30), Hounslow (11/24), Willesden Jn High Level (1141 – 1143), Upper Holloway (12/01), South Tottenham Signal 1004 (1214 – 1225),  Stratford (12/47), Cheshunt (13/22), Harlow Town (1333 – 1339), Stansted Goods Loop (1356 – 1419), Cambridge (1443 – 1446), Ely (15/01), Brandon Down Goods Loop (1525 – 1555), Wymondham (1622 – 1626), Dereham (1646).

Photos greatly received!
