    Can't find a thread for this one (or even the 2013 run which is what I meant to type! :confused: ). Hoping for the usual slick performance from VT and 5043. Anyone else on it, and have you had your tickets and timings yet?

    Errr - yes! Looks like I'll have to ask Ralph to re-title this one AGAIN ;)

    Tickets arrived yesterday for OUR VT Christmas White Rose, so can now look at sorting out taxis etc.

    Just had a call from Ben. Return is an hour earlier than planned and not calling at Derby - assume engineering possession?

    Mmm 12 minutes between their arrival times, if one is a bit late there could well be parallel running on the approach to York...:) I wonder.... anyone on board please make sure you are ready to video ....

    There's no water stop showing on RTT. But then again nor is the photographic stop at Church Fenton showing either - guess this has been scrapped?

    Water stops at Whittington near Barrow Hill never appear in RTT ! I guess this location is not recognised in the NR computer.

    No water stops showing on your return times though David? And LMarsh mentioned Ambergate above, which I hadn't seen anywhere?

    I don't know about a water stop on the return, although I did see that the 2.5 miles from Kingsbury Jn to Whitacre Jn is booked to take 23 minutes.

    Looking forward to seeing who gets to Colton Junction first - might even wear my Santa hat for a bit of festive videoing :)
