Scarborough Flyer 2012

well as there is only 2 locos in the Crewe pool atm and 46233 can't go to north wales and 60009 can't go to scarborough. That opens the picture that the duchess will be on all Flyers.

 

Thanks for that Ralph.

Ironic init, we normally go to Rochdale to visit family on Fridays but this week er indoors says 'We'll go Saturday'!
So I miss the CME as well. :frusty:

 

What are you?

Man or mouse????

Not the Tosh I used to know - wouldn't have stood for that in the old days!!!!!!!

 

i think that 70013 Oliver Cromwell is down for the 3rd & 10th August all the rest are 46233

I beleave the route is now cleared for A4s.

 

'Squeak' -- this cheese tastes nice -- 'squeak, squeak'

 

Raced through Sowerby Bridge a few seconds ahead of schedule.

Hope you enjoy.

 

Horrible photography weather, particularly on the outward trip, the fings shot a washout, steam cut off at Bolton Percy, ina monsoon at Kirham abbey, oh joy Strensall not so bad on the way back. Nice to see without a headboard though, could almost be 1957 ...

The RTC website no longer lists one on the 10th.

 

Cancelled due to lack of bookings.

She looked good at Slattocks, Stunning at Ashton Moss, and "gone" at the Plaza even though I left Denton while they were still rolling up the hoses!

 

Cracking shots those........

 

Came through a couple of years ago checked my photos at Sowerby Bridge...........I do like the green livery..........

 

Came over copy pit from Preston, if memory serves me right 46233 has don this twice. Once on the vsoe.
Hasn't done the stansfield hall jnc to Manchester section afaik.

 

Thanks Osprey and Sowerbylad.
I didn't know that 46233 had done the northern section of the Calder Valley route from the Preston direction via Copy Pit but the section from Manchester to Todmorden and vice versa must be a first for a Duchess hauled train (not counting
the E+C move 46233 made on 3rd June over the route).

 

what a great loco 46233 is pity she never got much chance to show what she can do other than between york and scarborough some real good running then;
all the best

Is 60009 still banned from York to Scarborough? as i read elsewhere that this had been sorted out, otherwise it will be 46233 on all the flyers as 70013 is staying down south
