Loco hauled diagrams (diesel & Electrics)
 
Hi,

Is anyone aware of a reliable website which details all the current loco hauled diagrams?

I have a week off at the end of the month and I am considering a ALR bash if a trip abroad falls through

cheers! :)

If you join UKRail, you'll get constant updates to this and lots of other stuff as well. Be warned though - you'll get a HUGE amount of emails.
Largely speaking, there's not many loco-hauled routes now; some Euston-Birmingham & v/v, Cardiff-Taunton & v/v, Cardiff-Holyhead & v/v (one each way per day), Penzance/Paddington sleepers, Scotland/Euston sleepers, London-Norwich & v/v, and a few I'm not sure of in Scotland. Ithink that's about it, mabe a couple I don't know about. :confused:

I've just checked - the Scottish workings are on the Edinburgh/Fife Circle route, and I'd forgotten the Wrexham/Marylebone class 67 hauled services, also class 57/3 are operating the Workington emergency shuttle service.

Saw an electric loco of some sort running North on the ECML past Abbots Ripton the other day. Must have been electric as it had it's panties up, never seen one on it's own before.
Does that count as Loco Hauled?
