    I was just reading through my Facebook feed, and came across this article in the Warrington paper, saying that the tours are now rerouted over Settle-Carlisle. I don’t know how much to believe this but it seems quite a difference from just being from Manchester to Carnforth to now go over the S&C

    That would make 3 steam charters travelling north that day on the S&C. I wonder if Carlisle can handle that many charter trains in a short period of time.

    Would Scotsman’s not use Upperby curve as it is not stopping at Carlisle

    I don’t think it’s planned to use the S&C by looking at the timings and the Northern Belle website:
    Morning trip:
    Crewe - Preston (diesel hauled):
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55359/2019/07/20/advanced
    Preston - Hellifield - Carnforth (60103):
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55371/2019/07/20/advanced
    Carnforth - Preston 60103 then diesel to Crewe:
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55373/2019/07/20/advanced

    Evening trip:
    Manchester Victoria - Preston (diesel):
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55374/2019/07/20/advanced
    Preston - Hellifield - Preston (60103):
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55375/2019/07/20/advanced
    Preston - Manchester (diesel):
    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55376/2019/07/20/advanced

    Thanks for this, I was found out on Monday it wasn’t as I emailed the Northern Belle. It’s a shame but for such a diversion, I knew that it was wrong.

    A few minutes late at 13:08 approaching Clapham on the Little North Western route. The diesel at the rear seemed to be making a lot of noise and the exhaust wasn't lifting at all.
