    Can't help but think that behind closed doors at Crewe there must have been the thought of overhauling 6960, turning out in Red and sending it up with a rake.......

    LSL have already dipped their toe in the water with a diesel operation last month. This was a warning to Carnforth that they will jump all over this if there is an opportunity, but West Coast would be stupid to give up the paths they have spent...

    Is it a completely foregone conclusion that the Track Access Agreement expiring this autumn will be renewed? https://www.orr.gov.uk/sites/default/files/om/s18-wcrc-directed-contract.pdf

    At the Battlefield we went from the last of the Welsh coal in February to Polish coal from Easter and, let me tell you, the difference in colour from the chimney is very marked. With Welsh you barely got any smoke from the chimney no matter how...

    I can understand why the question was asked. If I were travelling towards the rear of the train to Plymouth, I would prefer the train not to be turned at Plymouth thereby ensuring that I was closer to the locos on the return. <BJ>

    Hi James - first thing to note is all but one of the loco's are planned to face south, so tunnel exit shots from Winchcombe station bridge are limited, south bound tunnel exit shots are possible but not easy in my view. There are two good bridges...
