Hi im thinking of booking on this tour ive looked on W.C.R.C. for the times outward and return for the lune rivers trust tour to York outward and return from and back to Carnforth but the times of when it sets off from Carnforth Wennington and Bentham and return are just showing as to be advertised does anyone on nat pres have any idea of the times of this tour when its previously run dep Carnforth and returns to Carnforth who may have been on this tour previously?

This should help

Through to the Coast at Scarborough this year. Railway Herald has this down as 45690 solo on the run out, 45562 joins for the return.
If so, am I right in saying this is the first time in preservation outside a multiday tour (referencing GBXI - 2018) that a jubilee pairing has run a railtour on the mainline?

I think you are correct in that it has only occurred once in preservation years. 5X combination seen at Harthope 20.04.18.

 

Fingers crossed for this pairing but I did hear that Leander could be used on the Cumbrian Coast on the same day - as always we must wait and see.

 

Does this one count? Copy Pit, 11 October 2015.

 

Be surprised if Leander does either tour as it was in bits I believe so surely it’d need a test run at least.

 

Likewise heard. A source has told me 46115 is on the coast leaving 35018 for this.

 

Works for me!

 

I understand that Leander has had attention to her boiler so perhaps a test run would not be needed. Within the last few days there has apparently been a change of plan with 46115 on the Cumbrian Coast and 45690 to meet up with Galatea. We will all have to be patient and all will be revealed on Saturday (or Friday).

 

David Smith and his team like this charity.

 

IIRC (I probably don't) but didn't BIL and possibly even as far back as 46115 make their debut's on this train, so this year?? Bodmin??

 

That’s easy to do by changing the name plates and numbers on 35018 if you want Bodmin

 

But must change the number to 98818!

 

Or really set hares running by numbering her 34073 and slapping 249 squadron plates on.

 

BIL certainly did!

 

Had a quick scroll back in the thread and can't find the other contender has been suggested, 6201?

 

Just seen a post from rail advert on the net advising it's BIL from Carnforth to Scarborough with "Alberta" heading L.E. to Scarborough from York to double head the train back.
