The table below shows which services are planned for DIESEL haulage in 2023. Further details of which loco will be allocated to which service will be added ASAP. See our LOCO STATUS page for the up-to-date information on loco availability.
NOTE: some dates that were scheduled for Class 14 haulage have had to change to Class 33 haulage because the anticipated passenger loadings require six or seven coaches, which is above the line limit for the Class 14. Suitable workings for the Class 14 are being identified and an update will be issued ASAP.
We will be sending out a DIESELGEN bulletin whenever any of the status details change significantly or when we have more dates or information to add, so SIGN UP TO DIESELGEN to get an email bulletin delivered directly to your email box, or return to this page from time to time to keep up to date with the diesel running plans.
