    Something off on test on Wednesday?

    Tuesday 9th
    1504 Crewe HC - WCR Carnforth

    Wednesday 10th
    1102 WCR Carnforth - Hellifield - Clitheroe - WCR Carnforth
    1959 WCR Carnforth - Crewe HC

    At a guess, possibly 70000 Britannia?

    EDIT - I see it has been posted in the 70000 Britannia topic in the Steam Loco section.

    has there ever been an occation when 2 engines have been given their light engine test together wouldnt it be strange to see a steam engine on the mainline hauling another tender to tender with each providing the power each way ? i know that carnforth recently put out a black five with the 8F on a loaded test recently

    Brittania just left Crewe very slowly at 10.20 on its light test run to Warrington and return.

    Just in case anyone looks here and no further - Mark is right - please check the threadlink where the news is not good. Tomorrow's test is cancelled

    It must be 70000. I went pass Crewe HC yesterday and Clan Line was in the HC. Tender was detached from the loco.
