...but Realtime Trains does here, as here illustrates as in this one here 60040 is seen passing Nottingham Station on 686N, the empty steel from Bescot Down Side-Boston Sleaford Sidings. Realtime Trains only said it was cancelled between Toton Up Sidings and Boston Sleaford Sidings due to a request by the customer, which it wasn't, hence Realtime Trains not picking up real time information here beyond Toton.
DB Cargo UK 60100 'Midland Railway - Butterley (18.03.2019)
The sole 60 in service with DB Cargo not to be a double zero version here is 60100 and in this shot, the tug is seen at Nottingham Station with the Kingsbury Oil Sidings-Humber Oil Refinery empty fuel tanks.
Arriva Rail North 150269 (15.03.2019)
I swear the usual 158's don't like working one such route they're intended for because now look here as it's ANOTHER 150, this time it's 150269 with pink Welcome to Yorkshire vinyls, it seen here arriving at Nottingham Station from Leeds before heading back out there on the 12:17 service and yes, you guessed it, no 158 to be seen here once more!
Arriva Rail North 150130 (15.03.2019)
As it now turns out, no 150/1's are left with Great Western Railway as 150125 and 130126 all now join the Northern fleet and that along with their other former Great Western Railway sisters, this one being one such example. 150130, still in old First Great Western plain blue livery, leaves Nottingham Station on the 10:17 service to Leeds.
Arriva Rail North 153328/153330 (15.03.2019)
A rare occurence for Northern during my stint at Nottingham Station as no 158's turned up until after 13:00 hours! God knows what happened today but what can be said is that it was nothing but a day of more odd workings until after 13:00 hours, so something of an unusual occurrence on this occasion! The biggest odd working from today with Northern came with these double dogboxes, as here illustrates with 153328 and 153330, both seen coupled together as they arrive at Nottingham Station from Leeds before heading back out there on the 11:17 service.
DB Cargo UK 60040 'The Territorial Army Centenary (15.03.2019)
Having re-routed onto platform 4 at Nottingham Station, DB Cargo's 60040 gets signal checked at Nottingham Station before finally proceeding with 661B, the Bescot Down Side-Boston Sleaford Sidings empty covered brown steel carriers, it running 16 minutes late on departure.
DB Cargo UK 60063 (15.03.2019)
As it gets re-routed onto platform 3 at Nottingham Station, DB Cargo's 60063 arrives for a crew swap before continuing its journey with 648D, the empty blue VTG petroleum bogie tanks from Kingsbury Oil Sidings-Humber Oil Refinery, it running 11 late at this point although it did make up for lost time by arriving at its destination 2 minutes early at 15:08! Good going there I guess!
