Notes:
Looking at Phil’s haulages between Reading and Oxford and vice versa, again there is some matching up to do.
Dealing with Reading – Oxford, I have 47157, 47448 and 50038. 47157 is listed on Railgen-Archive for 1E63 11.40 Poole – Leeds / Newcastle between Reading and Birmingham, and 47448 is listed for 1M50 09.07 Brighton – Manchester. 50038 must have done 1C40 15.00 Paddington – Hereford.
Dealing with Oxford – Reading, I have 31209 and 47456. 31209 is listed on Railgen-Archive for 1O15 09.24 Manchester – Poole between Birmingham NS and Reading. 47456 must have done 1V41 11.22 Liverpool – Paddington.

47085 19.35 Liverpool St. – Cambridge (Extended to Norwich) Cambridge – Norwich 68.5
47085 23.15 Norwich – Liverpool St. (Via Cambridge) Norwich – Cambridge 68.5
Notes:
With reference to 47085, this worked a 12.00 Norwich – Liverpool St. 19.36 Liverpool St. – Norwich (20.53 off Cambridge), and a 23.15 Norwich – Liverpool St. This is due to engineering work on the mainline south of Ipswich. I assume this engineering work started around 12.00. 47155 and 47162 also worked via this route. Gen from Class 47 list and RailGen Archive.

Notes:
The 1979/1980 shows a 16.20 Cambridge – Liverpool St., first stop Audley End. Phil has this train logged as 16.11 ex Cambridge and booked same time at Newport (16.40). Maybe a Winter alteration with the train retimed and additional stops put in at Shelford, Whittlesford and Great Chesterford.
Phil has 37115 and 47180 both listed for Norwich – Ipswich. 37115 is listed on Railgen-Archive for 1N27 11.42 Norwich – Liverpool St. and 47180 is shown for 1K23 08.58 Yarmouth – Liverpool St. from Norwich.

25065+25084 22.20 Perth – Euston Perth – Mossend Yard 59.25
Notes:
Phil’s haulages between Perth and Dundee and vice versa proved a bit of a puzzle to match up.
Dealing with Perth to Dundee first, I know the three locomotives involved, 26028, 27034 and 40103 and I know the three services used, from his diary file. I can match 40103 from the “gen” on Railgen Archive, but I cannot prove which type 2 worked the 14.44 Glasgow QS – Dundee and which type 2 did the 16.54 Glasgow QS – Dundee.
Looking at Dundee – Perth, the three locomotives involved were 27010, 40117 and 40184, and again I know the three services involved. 40117 is shown on Railgen Archive for 1M53 09.25 Aberdeen – Birmingham NS, which I assume it worked to Mossend Yard. I am also assuming it went back north on 1S62 11.03 Birmingham NS – Aberdeen (due 18.25), which would in theory put it in place for Phil to have it on the 19.50 Aberdeen – Glasgow QS. 40184 is on Railgen Archive for 1A21 07.40 Glasgow – Aberdeen, and I assume this worked back with 1T35 13.40 Aberdeen – Glasgow QS, like 40058 did the following day on Railgen Archive. 27010 by a process of elimination must have been on the 17.15 Dundee – Perth.

Notes:
Once again, Phil’s haulages between Perth and Dundee and vice versa proved a bit of a puzzle to match up.
Dealing with Perth to Dundee first, I know the three locomotives involved, 27001, 40158, and 47274 and I know the three services used, from his diary file. I can’t prove which locomotive did which train, although I would guess the type 2 did the 16.54 Glasgow QS – Dundee rather than an Aberdeen train.
Looking at Dundee – Perth, the two locomotives involved were 40038 and 40160 and a third service involving a DMU. Phil has the DMU shown on his records for 2T46 17.33 Dundee – Glasgow QS, which in theory would have been loco hauled. Again I am unable to prove from the Gen sites which loco worked which train.

Notes:

Dealing with Bath Spa – Bristol TM, I have 31424, 33004 and 50023. 50023 is an obvious for 1B12 16.20 Paddington – Bristol TM. I would suggest that it is probable that 33004 worked 1V21 07.46 Portsmouth Harbour – Cardiff and 31424 worked 2V59 09.00 Weymouth – Bristol TM based on what normally worked these trains.
Regarding Bristol TM – Bath Spa, I am unable to confirm which loco (33002 or 33009) worked which train. I am also unable to confirm the workings for 46056 and 47091.

Notes:
Perth – Dundee notes again.
Dealing with Perth – Dundee first. The three locomotives involved were 37027, 40060 and 47274. RailGen Archive confirms 37027 on 2L53 16.54 Glasgow QS – Dundee, and has 40060 on 1T50 17.50 Aberdeen – Glasgow QS. I have assumed from that 40060 must have done 1A36 13.35 Glasgow – Aberdeen (due 16.30). By elimination 47274 must be 1A49 15.35 Glasgow QS – Aberdeen.
Dundee – Perth, the three locomotives are 26041, 27021 and 40066. Unable to prove anything, but a fair assumption would be 40066 on 1T58 19.50 Aberdeen – Glasgow QS, with the type 2’s working the other services.

Notes:

Dealing with Bath Spa – Bristol TM, I have 31258, 33027 and 47344. 47344 is an obvious for the two Paddington departures (partly as it is in his logs twice). I would suspect that 31258 worked 2V59 09.00 Weymouth – Bristol TM and 33027 worked 1V29 14.15 Portsmouth Harbour – Bristol TM based on what normally worked these trains.
Dealing with Bristol TM – Bath Spa, I have 31401, 33002 and 33004. I suspect that 31401 worked 2O60 16.14 Bristol TM – Weymouth and the 33’s worked 1O73 11.00 Bristol TM – Portsmouth, and 1O87 16.00 Cardiff – Portsmouth, although I have no idea which 33 did which train.
I am also unable to confirm the workings for 47032 and 47508.

Dealing with Oxford – Reading, I have 31416 and 47122. 31416 is listed on Railgen Archive for 1V41 11.22 Liverpool – Paddington from Birmingham NS, and 47122 is listed for 1A51 11.40 Worcester Shrub Hill – Paddington. These match with Phil’s moves.

Dealing with Oxford – Reading, I have 47013 and 47471 and 47513. 47013 is shown on Railgen-Archive for 1O19 07.52 Newcastle – Poole from Birmingham NS – Reading, Regarding 47471, it is on Railgen-Archive for 1M01 19.00 Paddington – Manchester so reasonable that it worked in to Paddington on the 14.38 ex Birmingham NS. Also 47513 is shown for 1M10 06.20 Paddington – Manchester to Birmingham NS, so again reasonable that it returned with the 08.22 Liverpool – Paddington from Birmingham NS.

Notes:
Reading – Oxford, yet again.
Dealing with Reading – Oxford, I have 47464, 47477, 47545 & 50010. 47477 is shown on Railgen-Archive for 1B78 12.55 Paddington – Worcester Shrub Hill and Phil also had on its return working, 1A51 16.03 Worcester Shrub Hill – Paddington. Regarding the other northbound services, 47545 is shown for 1O19 07.52 Newcastle – Poole from Birmingham NS – Reading, I suspect Phil had it back north on 1M23 14.55 Bournemouth – Liverpool. This would leave 47464 for 1M50 09.20 Brighton – Manchester. Despite 47464 being a Scottish loco we know it was in the area as it is shown for 1M01 19.00 Paddington – Manchester as far as Birmingham NS.
Dealing with Oxford – Reading, I have 47080 and 47547 and 50034. 47080 is shown on Railgen-Archive for 1V41 11.22 Liverpool – Paddington from Birmingham NS. 47545 is shown for 1O19 07.52 Newcastle – Poole from Birmingham NS – Reading, I suspect Phil had it back north on 1M23 14.55 Bournemouth – Liverpool.
I have a problem with the class 50’s listed. I suspect Phil may have them listed the wrong way round, Railgen-Archive shows 50010 on 1A51 11.40 Worcester Shrub Hill – Paddington, a train Phil caught that day but Phil has 50010 listed for haulage from Reading to Oxford. 50034 is listed on Railgen-Archive for 1A65 07.26 Cheltenham – Paddington, due Paddington 09.42, which doesn’t really fit with Phil’s notes of it working either 1A51 11.40 ex Worcester or 1V48 14.38 ex Birmingham.
My suspicions are:
No.1 Phil had 50010 on 1A51 11.40 Worcester Shrub Hill – Paddington.
No.2 Phil actually had 50034 Reading – Oxford rather than was listed, and that it probably was on 1C40 15.00 Paddington – Hereford.
No.3 With the 50’s known/presumed, 47547 is by a process of elimination the loco on 1V48 14.38 Birmingham NS – Paddington.
Having said all this about 50010 and 50034, I have assumed that the information on Rail-Gen Archive is correct.
Thanks again to “TC” for all his hard work compiling the late Driver Phil’s moves
