    This is interesting from the West Coast FB page. Look at the description of the rolling stock. Does this mean we have Mk1s back or are they not being entirely honest?

    If it is it’s a bit dishonest

    I’m a glass half full type so I will assume that they have been quietly fitting CDL to some Mk1s until I see otherwise.

    Tornado for 1st SSE?, I read somewhere it is doing 3 additional trips from ones that have already been advertised, and one of them is on the 26th June

    No, it is booked 15 minutes for water at Common Road Crossing on Strensall Common. It does stop at Fenton as usual on the return.

    Hopefully enough rain will fall before Thursday to reduce the fire risk assessment from BLACK.

    Has anybody got the timings for today's return from Scarborough please?
    I've found timings to Scarborough on RTT but not the return as far as I can see.
    Thanks.

    What was the loco on the SSE today? I saw the train leaving York, but couldn’t see the loco.

    60163 seen from Starricks Farm in miserable wet and gloomy conditions, the A1 slips both sides of Borwick Bridge.

    Thank you for going out for it on such a damp day.
    Good job the diesel was on the back. I think Tornado would have struggled if it had to restart on greasy rails without a push.
