New 68003/04/05 arrived at Gladstone Dock, Liverpool yesterday from Spain. They are due to be hauled by 37609 to Crewe Gresty Bridge departing the docks at 1100. A timing point for those interested is Huyton Junction 1143. Timings are from Real Time Trains but obviously things can go wrong.

Sorry Rob but I beat you to that one! Posted on 10 April.

68009 is named Titan. 68010/11 are not named so expect Chiltern naming ceremonies at Marylebone sometime in the future.
57007 this afternoon hauled 68012 68013 and 68014 from Liverpool Gladstone Dock to Carlisle Kingmoor DRS Depot passing through Broad Green about 55 minutes late. 68001 was also unloaded from the ship but left the docks by road to be exhibited in Berlin.
68015 is due to travel by road from Spain and enter the UK via Southampton.
