47810 (D1924) ‘Crewe on a 1Z80 route leaner for LSL from to Crewe to Carnforth via Blackburn and Hellifield and back to Blackburn where it would become 1Z81 to York Parcels sidings.
I understand this is road learning in preparation for ‘Fellsman’ steam tours this summer which are to be operated by Locomotive Services rather than West Coast Railways.
Rebecca spent some time at our house today...trying to study for her finals. I'm not sure how effective it was...between all the running and squeeling of 5 year olds. It was good just to be together.
I daresay a few of my Flickr friends would have enjoyed learning to drive in this rather smart Leyland Marathon 2 especially with the elevated view of the road that would've been given!

A flurry of activity on this typical wet bank holiday Monday, 3rd May 2021, as the action ramps up in the local area with the operation of 2 separate G.B.R.f route learning Light Engine moves, one in and out of Sheffield and the other in and out of Tinsley Yard. Although there were 8 moves for the first working Sheffield over to Thrybergh and back again, only 4 ran, with the last, 0Z84 cancelled half way through before 11am this morning, the loco 66766, returning to Doncaster Down Decoy, the R.M.T. terminal, to perform other duties. This turned out to be another light engine move, this time 0N80, from the R.M.T. to Thrislington near Ferryhill and I know all this as I was sat waiting beside the canal at Parkgate waiting for it to appear from Sheffield, which it never did. So, I assumed it had returned to base and fortunately I just caught it leaving Doncaster heading north through the station not long after it was supposed to be back in Sheffield; a very odd behaviour indeed? The other move was a light engine G.B.R.f. again, with a time-tabled set of 6 moves, the 1st and last, 0Z73 and 0Z78, from Doncaster into the area and the last back to base. Looking at the time-table for this set of workings I see out of the 4 local moves between Tinsley, through Rotherham Central to Thrybergh Junction, 0Z74, 0Z75, 0Z76 & 0Z77, 0Z75 and 0Z77 were not undertaken, it was 0Z75 for which I had arrived at Parkgate early enough to catch it, only to find it 'holed-up' at Tinsley YArd, when I gave up and went over to see what was happening. This route learner was operated by 66771, 'Amanda', and arrived into the area this morning on the 0Z73, Doncaster Down Decoy via Rotherham Central to Tinsley Yard(GBRf) working. It then proceeded to run through Rotherham Central along to Thrybergh Junction near Kilnhurst, wait a short while, then run back again on the same working to the G.B.R.f. area at Tinsley Yard which from the photographs and video here, show its operating into the new termInal, currently being built; ostensibly by D.B.S.! 0Z77, timed to leave at 13:56, never ran and I note that the last move back to Doncaster, 0Z78, has already taken place, 100 minutes early, so a day of wondering what was where and when with these two learning operations. Word has it that G.B.R.f. are once again to use the south-east part of Tinsley Yard, for a more permanent container terminal and this would be in keeping with the development photographed here, over the last few weeks; this being my 3rd visit.
As can be seen from these shots, the GBRf was parked up on one on of the newly re-furbished lines which in the past had a longish rake of old flat-bed and other wagons on it, and can be seen in this mosaic of 4 shots, taken on October 2019, when GBRf were last, temporarily, using this end of the Yard, see-

The wagons were systematically removed over the last year or so, and now we can see why. The conditions were deteriorating now after leaving Parkgate and within 10 minutes or so, it was pouring with rain, which has continued on and off all the rest of the day. At top left, with engine running and sat on the line where the old wagons were, is GBRf class 66, 66771, 'Amanda', having failed to set off on the run I was waiting for at Parkgate, 0Z75, now seemingly awaiting to leave on the next diagrammed jaunt over to Thrybergh Junction at 12:27 in 40 minutes, though I didn't wait around that long as conditions got worse as the video following will show. Much more concrete has been poured and now the whole area of the old receptions sidings, latterly a small forest, is covered in the stuff providing a large area of hard-standing. Three lines now come into the area, all re-laid, the one on the right is from the sidings next to the empty distribution centre building, the sidings used by GBRf to run-around their early morning stone trains, one the cargo has been dropped. The two lines on the left are the ones which rise up the bank and enter the Yard on the other side of the sidings; this pair of lines were once the bye-pass lines, taking traffic straight through the Yard from either Broughton or Shepcote Lane, along to the North Midland's 'Old Road' at either Treeton North or South junctions. There may just be a case, in the future, for re-instating the curve from the far end of the Yard, over the Catcliffe Viaduct to Treeton South Junction, if business improves once this facility is in operation; something to look forward too... At lower left, any move by the GBRf to the south-west is blocked by a rail-road vehicle and just beyond, a new junction provides a run-round loop once traffic starts coming into the Yard; some moves _may_ just be mad on Wednesday this week as there is a time-table entry, 4E53, from Felixstowe North to Tinsley Yard(GBRf) arriving at 12:25; this would be instead of the usual arrival at the Newell & Wright Container Services Terminal at the Masbrough Freight Depot. This time it looks as if N&W mean business. At upper right and now with the rain in full flow, one of the two drivers walks along from what was the front of the loco, to the back all of which appears to indicate that my Serendipitous arrival is going to be rewards by the loco moving off on the 2nd of its out-and-back moves to Thrybergh Junction after which it will leave 100 minutes early on 0Z78, back to Doncaster. And, at lower right, sure enough, the engine was revved up and a few minutes later it set off under the Wood Lane bridge, quite slowly, as the accompanying video shows, heading for a departure out of the Yard, in about 30 minutes at 12:27 and will be back here for the last time, by 13:04. So, quite a bit of a day and it turned out to be more rewarding than it first appeared to be at Parkgate earlier this morning, when it looked as if both locos had trundled back to Doncaster, prematurely...

For a number of weeks Great Western Railway operated some route-learning trains between Bristol St Philips Marsh and Carmarthen using a short-formed HST set (2 + 4). On 9 May 2019 43088 leads the 15.05 Swansea to Carmarthen trip and is seen just north of Ferryside.

"Learner or Legend"... definitely the latter as 4701 still sporting the colours of SSR from the former livery, sits with 4702 at Nyngan in far west NSW on WK82 AK Cars from Cobar to Narromine. The engines are leased from LVR to SRS for these workings.
essential elements of a socially constructed learning environment, including: content, learner, instructor, collective, & network
In my house, my children learn about Black history & beyond daily, not just the month of February. In addition, it is important for my children to know that Malcolm X, Frederic Douglas, MLK, Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, Harriet Tubman, May Jemison, and a few chosen others are not the only figures that were important in terms of Black & current history.
So to help with their learning process, I make sure they attend exhibits, read books, & do independent research reports on random Africans across the Diaspora. Once my girls finish their researching, they present their information to the family and then we do a Q&A session, as we all have something to learn.
The last report given was tonight by Olivia on Angela Davis & she did an awesome job! I assigned her to do Angela Davis because last week, she was in a feminist rage telling me that I needed to take out the trash because she, her mom, & aunt Sade were strong women. After she finished letting me have it, I asked her if she was Angela Davis all of the sudden. She then asked me who Angela Davis was & from there a 2 page written paper assigned.
