Freightliner Class 70 in Bristol Request
 

Hi, Does anyone have any times or knows when the Class 70 would be operating on the Portbury to Rugely Powerstation on weekdays, I would normally check the Freightmaster book but I don't think the diagrams are covered yet. I know the class 70 are based in Stoke Gifford but I would like to see them hauling a freight.

Any help much apprecaited
Merry Christmas

Hi Dan,
70002 passed Bloxwich (walsall-rugeley line) at 11:10 am with this train last week. Dont know if this helps work anything out at all. They may not be the best looking but sounded good under load whilst accelerating through Bloxwich.
Regards

Usually pass through Cheltenham, heading towards Bristol at about 14.00.
70003 broke down on Monday and was assisted by 66547.

Now this is the kind of thread I like! More news as soon as you can please lads. :)

Thanks to taxidave and 6678bjm for the information, I am aware that it ran today and went though Cheltenham about 4 oclock and was running late. Any more info or times greatly appreciated

Class 70 breaksdown - was it the wrong type of snow??

We don't have snow in Cheltenham !!
