Sad news

31271 now not attending due to reports elsewhere that the handbrake was left on the loco between Butterley and Thirsk where a hot axle box detector was triggered.

Convoy (37264, 45041, 31271, 20227) currently in Tees Yard.

Further updates to follow.

 

According to A1A Locos website: 31271 was taken back from Tees Yard on Thursday by Heanor Haulage. Much work/cost to sort out I fear. Apparently the A1A people do not understand how the handbrake was applied again after they had specifically released it ready for transit!
It was very well liked on its extended visit to Swanage in May.
Much sympathy to Jon Gibbons and the team.
