THE BROADSMAN 26th March

Just booked on this one, does anyone know how the stock movement will work. Will the dinners have a trip in cattle class or will us poor people go down the posh end

 

Last time the dinners went into cattle class I think as that has a higher capacity

 

Anyone else out on this?

A Britannia out of Liverpool Street - wow!

I was stood on Bethnal Green station last week on business in the area, and the very steep climb out of Liverpool Street was clear to see. Will the train be banked out of the station much like Victoria, or will Oliver Cromwell go it alone?

 

No banker.

Steam always goes it alone up bank and good job too. I cant see a class 7 having any worries getting up there.

I will be on Brentwood bank "listening to the music".

I am, in coach G

 

Are updates working?

 

There was one at 9.35

 

ECS was about 5 minutes late into Liverpool Street so was a couple of minutes down passed Pudding Mill Lane heading for Norwich. Looking and sounding good though.

 

About 3 mins late through Manningtree,a class 37 on rear,not in use, the driver was in the back cab.I guess its inclusion was inevitable when you consider splitting the train at Norwich and topping and tailing to Holt.

Passing through Sheringham now. Seen both 70000 and 70013 on webcams today!

I had the pleasure of that on the Easterling in 2009 (I think), amazing stuff

 

As well as the reversal at Cromer.

 

70013 sounded as good as ever yesterday. Just for once standard class up front and the crack from the exhaust was amazing. About 2 mins early into Norwich without any great dramas. Don't know how return went as I was on a service train. Guess OK as no word on here.

 

Just to add to my post. The weather in Norfolk was DIABOLICAL!

 

I understand the train didn't come back into Liverpool Street. Any info gratefully received.

Really, it looked like Liverpool Street to me.

 

No video's......???
