The Waverley 2017 with 60103 and 45690

RTT shows 1Z44 departed at 1022 but the Railcam signalling diagram shows 1Z44 now in Holgate sidings suggesting loco has been detached?

 

Yeah judging from the railcam signalling diagrams looks like 1Z44 has gone back into the station?

 

yay Flying Scotsman has left York finally what was the problem ?

 

Welcome to the forum Debbie.
Not yet known what the problem was or even if it's Flying Scotsman hauling the train!

 

seen a report that 2 coaches had to be detached

 

ok

 

Please may I ask, where did you hear this from?

 

Scotsman is hauling the train.

 

With nothing in the way from Skipton to Carlisle it will be interesting to see what sort of run they have.

 

It was a Facebook report to "BROS "

 

NR says Too Many Coaches on 1z44

 

Reduced from 13 to 11 from the report that I saw.

 

Crossing the Wharfe near Tadcaster.

 

NR or NRM?

 

No stop at Hellifield, now 4 early at Blea Moor!

 

RTT shows a quarter minute "stop" in Skipton, looks like the passengers intending to board there drew the short straw.

 

I WAS ON York station this morning watching the chaos. At the booked departure time the stewards were moving passengers from the front two coaches. Half an hour later they split the train, with 60103 putting the coaches into a siding to join the West Coast diesel locos. I gave up watching at that point as we had to check out of our hotel.
This doesn't reflect well on West Coast, who should be aware of load limits.

Like that, nice scene
