May 10th Cathedrals Express

Hi all,

Anybody on this forum going to be on this trip?

I'm booked into what would of been Super Standard until they changed the classes so if you happen to be in the first/last coach feel free to say hello, there are 4 of us in our party with 3 of us wearing glasses! I'm the balding gray looking one!
Intend on updating on here throughout the day as to our progress.

Cheers everyone.

Phil

 

see my thread on the new premium standard class
you will enjoy it.

on clan line yesterday Standard was at the front all day (yay!) just lucky i spose...

 

Anybody know any timings yet? I'm assuming that we will receive tickets early this week...

 

The times were posted on one of the many Yahoo groups earlier this week. I'll have a look and try and find them again.

Thanks for that - Due into Colchester at 22:55 - for anyone wishing to return to a location in the london direction; best hope that we are on time as last train leaves at 23:03...

 

Just thinking about this trip and sparing a thought for the crew and stewards aboard this special...04:40 Thursday off Southall - due back at 01:45 Friday...anybody know if any of the crew or stewards are likely to have done the full stint?

 

Thats what you call cutting it fine !!!!! Good luck......you'll be doing a lot of clock watching.

 

Looking forward to seeing 60163 tonight at York station for a fine departure.. Does anyone know What platform it will be on?

 

Platform 10 according to timings on Steam Dreams site

 

Hi,
Tornado passed Thurston at 0930 approx. Managed to take photo from the top of my (not Network Rail) semaphore signal beside the railway west of Thurston station. Anyone see this madman perched up at signal?! Have a good trip everyone.
Regards

Martin

 

about time both ways at doncaster today

 

Two shots of this tour, first one northbound passing the rapeseed near Hambleton, LINK

Absolute monsoon just after "Tornado" left York, hence dull shot, 10mins. later sunshine and blue skies, hey ho! LINK

 

Would'nt say that was a dull shot.......damn good photo if you ask me........... as per usual..........

 

Thank you. :yo:

For the record, no oil burner on the back.
