The Waverley, 3rd and 4th October.

Just had a look,impossible to do it from Doncaster or York from Wakey via train! What a great train service Yorkshire has! A +3 at York on the way back but a -14 on the way out and nowhere near for Donny!

 

It passed Kirkby Stephen tonight about 40mins down, crawling through the station.

 

Not the best of days out. Only saw T at Ribblehead on the outward leg, and video is not that good.
Could have been worse though, when I first arrived at R it was shrouded in mist and absolutley p.ing down.
Maybe tomorrow, or next week

def a disaster day 2day

 

Has it actually got back to civilisation yet or is it still lost in the realms of mystery?! What i mean is does anyone know if/how its getting back!

 

Should be in York by now any news of latest position ?

 

but remember it was running 40 mins late don't forget,and the line is shut! No point speculating but then again noone's (well i doubt) going to update us!!!

 

Blue Ribband in the bag? There are no signals there as it is in the middle of a section?

 

As i said Ralph it was crawling through Kirkby Stephen,i had given up at Birkett. No service train in the way.

 

On the contrary Mark, I think we might get a few accounts of todays on board events posted eventually...... I can't wait.

 

Whatever the problem is it started fairly early on, here she is twenty minutes out of York and already shrouded in steam.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. :smt017

 

When I saw it southbound near Armathwaite it was doing about 30mph - no more.
The service train immediately ahead of it passed about one hour previously.

 

doest the drain cocks being open indicate priming?

 

"not as fast tonight though was it"

 

very slow that.

P.S i was just about to say the same thing Stuart!

 

Just had a call from my mate in York to say Tornado is sat in York just now (2230) running 89 minutes late
