    I'm not sure, I'd imagine so if she's going to have repairs needed. I will see it in about 40/45 mins so will let you know!

    RTT show it timed for 25 mph and 2hrs 35 mins Edinburgh to Berwick etc. suggests that's true.
    Being towed dead?

    Either the timings are (VERY!) slack or she does get towed, did hear as well that after the events she'll move to Bury where Riley & Son are going to carry out the maintenance further

    Always thought she was looked after by Crewe, a interesting development.

    Various workshops have maintained 60009 over the years. She spent some time on the SVR a few years ago. Much of the most recent overhaul was done at Crewe, but they are now concentrating on their own locos and stock. IIRC, Lizzie went to Tyseley for her recent work because Crewe were unable to fit her in.

    25 minutes engineering recovery time after Grantshouse and 40 minutes allowance Tweedmouth to Belford LC.
    I suspect blanket allowances for single line working as specified in the Train Planning Manual. Nothing on the schedule for running wrong road.
    The last down trains shown running late, then a Tyne Yard to Berwick "freight" which was looped to follow the last passenger train. Looks very like a tamper going to possession!

    Cheers, Neil

    The consist was bowled by a Virgin Voyager passing the railcam at Watford but it looked like a 47 leading 46115 & 2 POBs
