I don't have any personal recollections from 1969 but I do have the ER PTT. To save a lot of typing, here's a link to the Napier Chronicles summary of the 1969 ECML service: http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/wtt69-70.htm Some of these were non stop through York including 0755, 1000, 1600, 1800 ex K...

Various lists of steam locomotive allocations were published in Railway Observer, though not matching your requested dates. RO 02/65 page 44 WR and page 47 SR at December 1964 RO 06/65 page 184 LMR at April 1965 RO 08/65 page 268 ER, page 270 NER, page 272 ScR at June 1965 RO 02/67 page 40 BR at Jan...

This is the sort of question that ought to be generating long threads of reminiscences on this discussion board. 1969 is before my time, but only just, and I have the relevant ER PTTs. To get this right we need time of year, time of day and day of the week. I can't do the start of the journey from F...

The original source for this is the National Archives which holds British Railways Board papers. I've not gone back that far but they probably have papers for the "big 4" too. In the Modernisation Plan era locomotive names were approved by the Regional Boards. That's how the ScR and NER Deltics were...

Does anyone have any observations of the Eastern Region mobile train heating vans ADE321071 to ADE321078 with dates and locations please?

You might want to add the date for future readers/searchers. Today (4 January) or earlier in the month?

You're right. Although the host service does give a date, it should be included in the body of the message too, and is duly amended.

I had not paid any attention to these, assuming that all LNER trains would be Azuma.

But 1S10 0830 KGX-EDB today 04/01/20 was a MkIV set dragged by a DB red class 67.
