Dalesman 2017 from York or Chester to Carlisle

Hi Don just have a look at the possibility of bailing at Keighley on to the following local which passes the Dalesman at Kirkstall and arrives Leeds 2032.

 

Ok thanks for that

 

I did the York Dalesman from Stevenage by changing at Leeds. Only went hoping for a Jubilee but got 46115 again. May risk one in June but hope not to get the 8F

 

Fair bet for the Shap turns but conjecture in some quarters it was to get withdrawn at the end of May.

 

You won't get any advance info out of Carnforth as they then can't be got at on Nat Pres for putting out the wrong loco. I am happy to take my chances and hope it's a Jub.

 

Could be 45690 if the light test run was a success last week .

 

By Thursday the situation should be one degree of freedom clearer when we see what has been allocated to the sub-shed at 50A ( times for the Scarborough run now up).

PS ECS run over to York is timed at 50mph.

 

The 8F seemed to do a good job on the SSE last year and would presumably be limited to the Hellifield steam originating Dalesmans?

 

The 8F has done a few runs over Shap, but my prediction would be both of the Jubilee's will be the bread and butter for the both the Fellsman's and Dalesman's. BIL on a few turns for running in close to home - quite possible too I'd say.

 

Anyone know whats down for tomorrows run?

 

46115 today according to TOPS.

 

37516 & 669 ECS to Chester & 46115 allocated to the steam leg.

 

And according to a poster on 'another site' it is now 45699 coming across to York tomorrow.

 

48151 advertised as being in Devon in July

 

46115 on Lambrigg sounding well .

 

46115 getting into its stride on the Carnforth levels heading for Shap.
