    Not really, just did not put the date thinking that as it was Friday very unlikely that the tickets would be for the following day...

    At least one Virgin per hour cancelled on WCML due to restrictions because of fallen tree, WCME however only 3 down at Norton Bridge.

    I think that the better CME bet will be next week as it's still pretty hairy out there weatherwise today. So my concern about today doesn't apply to the Nat Pres jamboree!

    It looks like SG has been held to let the late running Virgin Glasgow train pass...and the next one is also much delayed. So that means today's CME may have a clear and unlooped run to Carlisle.

    Great to see 46115 performing so well in the fells today. The first outing in what seems likely be its most intensive period of heritage era operation yet with 6 trains in 3 1/2 weeks.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Having looked at Andrew Ns photos I'm glad that the headboard didn't get transferred from the 86 to the Scot. Thought Scots Guardsmen looked & sounded fabulous today

    Great stuff Stephen, the Scot certainly sounded the part today, hope you have now dried out from the summit
