    Bet the crew are delighted with a night in Preston this evening... assume there is a possession somewhere between Preston and Carnforth to stop them getting home?

    Galatea almost to time away from Lime St, sounded good going up through the tunnels, diesel giving big push which is to be expected with the load.

    Since quite a few WC drivers, guards etc live south of Preston, I don't think it will worry them.

    Another one for the hard pressed Carnforth maintenance team to sort out then.

    At least the engine can quietly make the journey back to WCRs base. Their pool of locomotives could do with some substantial augmentation since none of them are impressing in the reliability stakes.

    When the diesel gets back to Lime St, won't they need a steam engine on the back for operational reasons!!

    I'll often ask the train manager for a fare from Llandudno Junction on the NWCE or the Blaenau run but this time a fare was advertised fare from Llandudno : £44, only £30 less than the full run so I went along to photograph its arrival.

    [​IMG]

    I'd never photographed the classic location of Conwy castle so walked there and up the hill. The Jubilee left on time but stopped, then after a long wait we saw 47760 on the other line and figured there must be a problem and it would couple in front. Then 45699 reversed and about 10 minutes later I was able to photograph a maroon locomotive passing the castle :(

    [​IMG]

    After which I walked back to photograph the stricken loco

    She was 11 minutes early at St Helens Junction and nearly missed the shots! Nearly 20 mins early at Warrington with a 30 minute stopover. Either the planned timings were wrong or she was steaming exceedingly well! Probably not the reason for the hot box but who knows?

    What a shame. Carnforth is once again having trouble with their fleet.

    So that's 3 failures in the last week or so with 45231, 45690 & 45699.

    How are WCRC going to cope with providing a steam loco for 3 mid week tours plus the regular Sunday Waverley starts this week as well!!! :eek:

    I've read on here that 46115 only has a month left on its boiler ticket, is that correct? I thought I had read some where that it had some boiler work done to give it a 12 month extension

    Is recalling Tangmere from down south an option??

    Anyone know the status of 44932 or 48151?

    Things like a hot box can usually be sorted fairly quickly, and since Galatea returned to Carnforth light it cannot have been too serious, similarly with Leander, I understand that she also will be sorted fairly soon, if it's not already done.
