Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express 2016

Well that is what I would want for the passengers on board who paid good money to travel behind steam.

Looking at the forecast nobody in their right mind would venture out tomorrow but look forward to seeing their shots tomorrow night lol lol

 

As Ian Cawthorne has mentioned, folk may recall that there was a relatively long-standing TSR at Eden Brows a couple of years ago. I was on-board one of the WCMEs that year, and the slew of the track towards the river at the location photographed was scary. Despite the remedial work, it would seem that the embankment is still on the move. A real headache to put it mildly - not least because of its high degree of inaccessibility.

 

Furthermore... I'm not sure whether further work is required south of Armathwaite also (where there was a landslip in December) - there seemed to be some Network Rail vans there last Saturday.

 

Just appeared on Northern Rail site. Good news?

Tomorrow will mark 60103's first run up Shap since 26 October 1968 when it worked the Moorlands railtour. I'm not sure it's ever been over more than once previously unless anyone can confirm?

 

She went over Shap on 1 June 1969.

 

Depends on your "Gifford" skills

As for Scotsman in her present guise, I think she looks the mutts.
