    Am i right in thinking the stock will be Aircons and/or Pullmans owing to the tight clearences Maryport - Carlisle ?.

    Pretty certainly yes... Last run I was on round there was with 71000 and it was aircon stock.

    "Gresley" would look nice with that stock.

    Is this stock from the Blue Pullman that was hauled by diesels a few years ago. Looks nice as will Tornado when going over the bridge at Grange Over Sands.

    Won't this stock be in use on GBIII ? According to my notes the GBIII working on that day will be 46115 ( Edinburgh - Carlisle ) and 60019 ( Carlisle - Preston thence southbound to Euston or Victoria - final destination yet to be confirmed )

    Surely GBIII will use a WCRC dual-braked or vac-braked maroon set, as before? HF are using what look like Mk3 (or late Mk2) air-con coaches in dark blue and cream - very smart, very comfy and as Stuart says, would look splendid (if slightly anachronistic) behind a blue streak!

    I shall be travelling in Standard class, coach B. I have booked a B&B in Crewe due to the Stupid O'Clock start. Tornado is on display at Crewe Heritage Centre over the weekend and Monday/Tuesday, so I may get there early enough to visit.

    As a kid I watched steam trains run round Morecambe Bay, I am looking forward to going on one again.

    Looks like being a good trip this - never thought I'd see the day when an A1 would work around the full length of the Cumbrian Coast before returning over Ais Gill. What fantastic times these are!

    Looks like the weather is going to fair in the morning so I may well drag myself out for a local shot..

    10 minutes down at Acton Bridge this morning....No apparent reason but it's quite busy at that time of the morning and there was other stuff fairly close in front and behind.

    It was a Liverpool stopper in front and a Pendo cruised through as I crossing the footbridge.

    Now reported 23 down approaching Lancaster.

    Shame Ralph - but the join doesn't interfere too much.

    My version (also from Acton Bridge) can be seen at:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRoD2XhedTg

    Very similar to Ralph's but from the sunny side and no going away shot but with the bonus of a small cameo from Mr. Ralph (or at least his back).
