Notes:
First instance of Phil travelling on 2C11, despite the WTT showing this as a DMU Phil used it regularly as has it logged as loco hauled. Maybe a winter timetable change as Phil has it booked for 06.38 rather than 06.40.

45145 1D52 15.08 St. Pancras – Nottingham St. Pancras – Bedford 49.75

Notes:
Northfleet would be coal, probably from Nottinghamshire. From Cricklewood a single (slow speed fitted) loco could take 30 MGR’s, although if the train was loaded to 43 MGR’s then a pair of locomotives (with the front one slow speed fitted) were required from Cricklewood. This was due to the gradients in South London.

Notes:
4M59 18.58 Ripple Lane FLT – Nottingham (Beeston) FLT and 4E61 01.01 return was booked Stratford traincrew to Cricklewood and a Cricklewood crew through to Beeston and back. Phil recalls how this was a heavy train, booked fast line throughout, but restricted to 20 mph under the road bridge between Sharnbrook and Souldrop which always made it a struggle getting over Sharnbrook. Booked an engine off Stratford.

Notes:
I suspect the 04.55 Cricklewood CS – Bedford is the empty stock for 2C11 06.38 Bedford – St. Pancras. Shown in the WTT as a DMU, this train did go over to loco and stock at some point, Phil records it as such quite often from 06.02.1979.

Notes:
Friday, early hours: 47339 detached after the trip to Northfleet. I assume the driver taking the train forward (probably a Wellingborough man) was sociable and gave Phil a lift home.

47187 being the front loco should have ran back to Cricklewood depot. Unsure why it ran via Elstree.

Notes:
I assume 47144 to be a charter. 45076 was an LNER Society “North Yorkshireman” charter to Scarborough. A good day for charters on the MML, 45111/33057 also on a Alfreton – Brighton charter, engine change at Brent and 40106 on a St. Pancras – Aberystwyth charter.

47339 Forders FLT (21.50) – Bedford (22.14) 7

Notes:
Forders Freightliner Terminal at Stewartby on the Bedford – Bletchley line was where the Cricklewood “binliner” ran to. Back in the 1970’s this was the yellow container train with “Easidispose” branding on the side. Two trains ran a day carrying London’s waste to use as landfill in the empty clay pits at Stewartby. A Cricklewood diagram and engine off the depot. Occasionally an unofficial early finish at Bedford when the train ran round on its way back up to London, depending on the driver.
Not sure when this train started running, it doesn’t appear in the 1978/1979 WTT but does appear in the 1979/1980 WTT.

The 1979 timetable change took effect from 14th May 1979.

I have gone a little bit off topic here as I have had a detailed look at how the loco hauled “Bedford Commuters” were resourced and where the empty stock moves for each service came from. An interesting point to note is that three stocks were booked to run north on a Friday night during the summer and return early on a Monday morning. I assume this is to help resource the summer saturday timetable, but it would also explain how a “peak” could be noted on a “Bedford commuter” on a Friday evening and then turn up in Devon on Saturday morning.

2C12 06.38 Bedford – St. Pancras, calls all stations to Elstree, arrive St. Pancras 07.56.
2C13 07.27 Luton – St. Pancras, calls Harpenden 07.34, St. Albans 07.40 arrives St. Pancras 08.06. stock forms 2G07.

Regarding the Bedford and Luton starters:

2C12 was formed off 5C12 Mondays only (28 May – 3rd September) 04.50 Nottingham CS – Bedford.
On Tuesday – Fridays and non summer Mondays, 5C12 was the 04.55 Cricklewood CS – Bedford.

2C13 was formed off 5C13 06.18 Cricklewood CS – Luton.

2C18 was formed off 5C18 Mondays only (18th June – 3rd September) 05.25 Nottingham CS – Bedford.

2C19 was formed off 5C19 Mondays only 04.04 Cricklewood CS – Bedford.
I can’t find anything for 5C19 for the rest of the week, I don’t think it stabled overnight as nothing to form it the previous evening.

2C21 was formed off 5C21 Mondays only (28th May – 10th September) 05.54 Derby Etches Park – Bedford.
On Tuesday – Fridays and non summer Mondays, 5C21 was the 05.30 Cricklewood CS – Finedon Road (run round) – Bedford.

1P12 16,22 St. Pancras – Derby, calls Luton 16.50, Bedford 17.14.
2G17 17.00 St. Pancras – Bedford, calls at St. Albans 17.20, non stop to Bedford 17.51.
2G18 17.12 St. Pancras – Bedford, calls St. Albans then all stations to Bedford 18.27.
1P22 17.26 St. Pancras – Derby, non stop, arrive Bedford 18.13.
2G20 17.38 St. Pancras – Bedford, calls St. Albans then all stations to Bedford 18.53.
2G21 17.54 St. Pancras – Bedford, calls Harpenden, Leagrave, and Bedford 19.01.

1F07 18.20 St. Pancras – Leicester, calls St. Albans 18.43, Luton 18.55, arrive Bedford 19.21.

The empty stock “plan” after arrival at Bedford:

2G17 formed 5C50 17.50 Bedford – St. Pancras via Finedon Road (run round). The stock was then used for 1P25 22.06 to Derby.

2G18 formed 5J88 19.32 Bedford – Cricklewood CS.
On Fridays (22nd June – 31st August) 2G18 formed 5E29 18.30 to Nunnery CS for 22.53 Sheffield – Portsmouth Harbour.

2G20 formed 5J88 18.55 Bedford – Finedon Road (run round) – Cricklewood CS.
On Fridays (25th May – 7th September) 2G20 formed 5P00 18.55 Bedford – Derby Etches Park.

2G21 formed 5J88 19.08 Bedford – Finedon Road (run round) – Cricklewood CS.

2G22 formed 5J88 20.30 Bedford – Cricklewood CS.
On Fridays (25th May – 31st August) 2G22 formed 5D00 19.16 Bedford – Cricklewood CS.

5J88 is a headcode which appears a lot for empty stock workings to Cricklewood CS.

47424 4M59 18.58 Ripple Lane FLT – Nottingham FLT (Cricklewood – Market Harborough) 78

Notes:
With reference to 47203, as I understand it the Northfleet workings were booked as Cricklewood jobs south of Cricklewood and Wellingborough jobs north of Cricklewood. On this occasion Phil probably hitched a lift home with a sociable Wellingborough driver.
With reference to 47424, Phil used to tell this story. The “47” caught fire, and limped into Market Harborough. The 47 was in a right state with the sides all bowed in. After the fire brigade had done their stuff 45074 worked forward. As the train was now very late Phil and his driver bailed out at Leicester and returned south on 1M10.

Notes:
I think 47422 was working 1C04 02.30 St. Pancras – Bedford Newspapers, (A train I did once on 8th April 1984 with 45130). Not in the timetable, but in the WTT which shows it stopping at Cricklewood at 02.40 “for BR Personnel only”. On the occasion I did the train it conveyed a BSK. This train used to drop vans off at St. Albans (in the siding off the down fast by the signalbox) and Luton (in the north end bay).

Notes:
47446’s times match 2G02 03.20 St. Pancras – Bedford (Staff) which was booked a DMU. I think it is more likely that 47446 worked an ECS to Bedford for a morning commuter.

Notes:
45068’s times match 1P03 03.45 St. Pancras – Luton (News), although there is also a 3D04 04.10 St. Pancras – Nottingham (Parcels) booked Luton at 04.40/04.46. 45068 later reported working 1V77 09.45 Nottingham – Paignton, so I think either 45068 was on 3D04 or it took 3D04 forward from Luton.

45137’s Luton – St. Pancras might be 1C21 10.05 Derby – St. Pancras, although the arrival time listed by Phil is different from the timetable. 45137 also worked 1P25 22.06 St. Pancras – Derby. I don’t have the diagrams for 1979 which might give more information.

Notes:
51591’s timings match 2A01 07.47 Luton – Moorgate LT. Looking at the 1979 WTT this service became 2C60 07.47 Luton – St. Pancras during the course of this timetable. . The copy of the 1979 WTT I have used, has this amendment added in pencil. I assume that as this was a 127 set it was booked into St. Pancras by this date.

Notes:
On Railgen archive 56069 is quoted as working 4M59 18.58 Ripple Lane – Nottingham Freightliner. This train was booked a “47” and a Stratford crew as far as Cricklewood, with a Cricklewood crew working north. To the best of my knowledge Stratford depot did not learn “56’s”. I think it is fair to assume that 4M59 started out that night with a “47” which came to grief and the “56” was used to assist.
