LT 4-TC: Currently reported as at Ripple Lane since autumn. The trailers are expected to be moved by rail to Southall on Monday 12th by West Coast, which moved 47802 & 47812 to Ripple Lane on Friday 9th, with barriers, and the driving trailers by road from the Freightliner facility, after a move on skates, also going to Southall. Later, the 4-TC is expected to be moved to Eastleigh Works.

37508 (until recently 37606) was expected to bring barrier 6393 from Derby to Eastleigh Work on Friday, to be reunited with its Locomotive Services twin. The working was cancelled, I have heard that the loco was failed on Thursday, but snow may also have been a factor.

The SITT is out and about given the period of lower temperatures one two.
