Winter CME Trips 2018

Who's on the front today

 

Just a suggestion. Could the mods perhaps split these up by individual tours rather then letting one thread run and run to many pages. Same for likes of rtc tours. Good to review each tour individually.

 

Standards on front. Noisy coach 3. Mick Rawling driver; Chris Holmes firing. Yealand topped at 35.6; Milnethorpe 63.5; Oxenholme 51.2; Lambrigg 42.2; Grayrigg 35.7; Tebay 72.7; Scout Green 42.2; MP 37 1/4 30 and a bit; lowest 28.5 b4 37 1/2. Magnificent.

 

Thanks for that...pleased you are having a great day out

 

looked like she was pushing 30 passing Shap Wells, best Jubilee run over Shap yet ?

 

Blimey that’s some stonking running, just my luck that I’m behind the two 37s! My allegiance was clearly in the wrong place today!

 

Sub 70 mins from Carnforth to Carlisle just - 69m 53.9s.

 

Sorry to have missed that today, only beaten 70 mins twice out of 18 runs where I have noted the times. Once with No 9 and once with Scots Guardsman. All the best with Ais Gill & Wilpshire.

 

45699 at Lambrigg and South of Birkett Tunnel.

 

Not your lucky day today what with the Freightliner on the WCML and being rained on out of a mainly blue sky on the S&C. Great video as usual though.

 

Well up to standard Steve, bet the language was ripe in the first sequence lol

 

True but it’s par for the course some days lol .

 

Cheers Shep , it was a bit

 

Black Leases Farm and Ormside...
