Scarborough Spa Express 2018

As long as it's got heritage stewards.

 

Presuming that there is a requirement for a Guard on the Train, is he/she 'supplied' by the TOC also.. ?

 

Thanks

Is the grapevine suggesting MN18 will do the SSE season and pick up the Waverley turns too perhaps?

 

I hope not as I was rather hoping to find it on the CME on 23rd June. It would make sense to use a class 8 rather than a class 6

 

She was sitting simmering outside the NRM at 6.30 this evening.

 

Presumably there is hope too that 6201 will soon be available to cover Shap turns?

 

Or 46115

 

Or 6233 for that matter.

 

Well it would make sense if 6115 or 6233 are in the frame, for MN18 to go to York but otherwise it seems a peculiar allocation policy. Funnily enough I'd heard the opposite, that 6201 would be ready for testing quite soon and 6115 would be 2019!
Not heard much about 6233 other than it would have to be based in the south because the northern jobs were allocated elsewhere. It would be equally odd to find Shap jobs in the hands of 5Xs if 8Ps were notionally available, would it not?

 

This afternoon.

 

Yes it would and surely the normal 11 coaches requires class 7/8 power though 5Xs have coped. Not good though to have to work them so hard
