    Not wishing to defend that person, but the service train heading the opposite way is actually in shot as Tangmere comes into view, so although he is in a compromising position, there is not much chance of being caught out on this occassion.

    Thanks Mark, I think all the 'northern correspondants' enjoyed seeing (and indeed, hearing) 34067 yesterday. It would be nice to see her do a bit more work up north.

    Food for thought Austin, maybe later in the year a few trips North with Tangmere

    and a few trips South with Scots Guardsman. Enjoyed the Vid.

    Regards

    Except when the "proper chuffing" is drowned out by a sticky tap ;)

    Thanks to all who have posted up the videos and photos from yesterday, I have finally got round to having a good look at them and some great stuff there. As I was working Tuesday and couldn't get out to do a bit of linesiding I would like to see her on the way down to Southall. Can anyone confirm if the move is going ahead tomorrow as posted earlier in the thread? I may be able to get out of work for an hour to nip to Winwick and make the time up later in the day... :spy:

    Thanks, Neil.

    Rumour has it that she may be delayed, with the Preston departure now around 12.30, but with 11 coaches and of course a 47. The 47 is likely to be behind Tangmere as well and not at the back, probably to do quite a bit of the work to save on water stops.
