LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2021

It's the same just in case the steam needed to be moved on the second path so is left the same, might also be something to do with the WHL Timetable

The timings are cut and paste from the original schedules that were due to run at the end of March, which had the 5's on Monday and K1 on Wednesday.

 

The only major change to the ECS moves I can think of was last year when 62005 & 45407 overnighted in Carlisle

 

Left Carlisle 1000.

 

If I remember correctly the pair moved to Carlisle to avoid engineering works planned for the section before Carlisle on the Sunday Could be wrong but that was info I was given at the time.

Is that UoSA's support coach tagging along there?

 

That's what I was told,not sure why it was being moved though

 

I assume as UoSA is not going main line again it needs moving from ELR up to Carnforth or Scotland* and tagging it on an existing move will save some cash.

*What's happening to it, is it planned to go in the museum or elsewhere?

Not a fan of tender first running but with the opportunity to get back into the swing of things and a lovely show of Daffodils No. 45212 works over the
Lancaster Canal at Capernwray with Mick Kelly driving and Matt Durkan on the shovel

 

It was Calum Titley on the shovel on 45407 and Matt Durkan on 45212.

The week commencing March 29th K1 No. 62005 spent 5 days working along the Esk Valley line between Grosmont to Battersby and return as part of crew refresher/Route learning for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The K1 then worked Monday 5th to Wednesday 7th between Grosmont to Whitby and return for the same reason. A few pictures from these days are below:
