08752 arrived at Eastleigh, but problems led to its reported return to Wishaw.

47749 started from Worksop with a 701 as 5Q10 on 25th, but stopped at Kettering, with dragging brakes. It then made its way to Eastleigh, but was failed. A 0Z56 came from Leicester to Kettering on 27th, but no recorded subsequent movement onwards. TOPS suggests that 47749 may now have entered the Works.

Class 701 activity appears to have been stopped, and could be related to a Class 345 incident at Plumstead.

Class 313 may last until January?
