Wolverton Works movements 4-6 June
10th June 2007

Three works movements this week, so I've set up a separate folder.

319215 departed for Selhurst on Monday in Southern livery to be replaced by one of the last two Connex liveried units, 319217.

The Royal Train arrived Tuesday afternoon from Cardiff and was taken into the works with the 67's still attached.

Wednesday saw 456007 depart behind 47816.

4 June 2007 319215 passes Bradwell.  The 319's to and from Selhurst use the same paths as the 456 moves, so this is 5Z18 11.13 Wolverton - Selhurst

5 June 2007 After seeing the 67's arrive with the Royal Train I had expected them to head back to Old Oak Common or Wembley as normal, not to still be attached when the 08 took the stock into the works!

5 June 2007 08629 & 67005.  The Royal Train had returned from Cardiff and was unusual in conveying both the Queen's saloon and Prince of Wales saloon as both had engagements in South Wales

5 June 2007 67006 on the rear.  I suspect that a little assistance was required from 67005 as the 08 hauled the stock from the underpass, but I'm not sure why the 08 would be required at all as the EWS crew seemed to still be present.

5 June 2007 Heading towards the headshunt.  The train was out early the following morning returning to Wales for Prince Charles visit to North Wales, I suspect that it was reformed without the Queen's saloon whilst at Wolverton
