    Well, the York train is due to be passed at Hellifield by the LS Skipton to Appleby service at 1230, so it looks like that is not the problem. Or rather, if it is the problem, there is another problem!

Hellifield steam on and return via 10A steam off i tried to phone W.C.R.C. to find out why it is been run anti clockwise and to transfer my booking to the york to carlisle Dalesman but had to contact them via Email.

    As it stands, that's what is up on RTT, yes.

    Carlisle to Carnforth in two hours including two loops. Why hurry?

    Timings for the 28th have now disappeared from RTT. Cancellation or correction?

    I was planning to watch this near Appleby, but as 5098 says it has completely disappeared and indeed isn't even showing on the Carlisle list for that day. It must be very confusing for the passengers as there is nothing suggesting a change showing on the West Coast website

    Passengers will have the information directly from West Coast so they won't be bothered one jot.

    As @1020 Shireman pointed out upthread, there was a conflict between the routing given on the WCR website (out via Shap, return via S&C) and RTT (out via S&C, return via Shap). Given that the RTT data has now disappeared and the WCR website still shows the train as running, I would expect new timings to appear on RTT at some stage with clockwise routing as per WCR.

    The only thing to add there is that the West Coast web site says the Dalesman start date of the 28th July is still provisional, whereas the Scarborough Spa start date of the 30th July is no longer provisional.

    Looking at the WCR site this morning and RTT, it looks as though 28 July is off, Dalesman season starting 4 August with the Chester runs northbound S and C southbound Shap.
