New 68003/04/05 arrived at Gladstone Dock, Liverpool yesterday from Spain. They are due to be hauled by 37609 to Crewe Gresty Bridge departing the docks at 1100. A timing point for those interested is Huyton Junction 1143. Timings are from Real Time Trains but obviously things can go wrong.

68009 is named Titan. 68010/11 are not named so expect Chiltern naming ceremonies at Marylebone sometime in the future.
