And one film we didn't want to see today, towards the end of the film

 

Now everybody is going to see it. NO

 

Footage of 09 near Rimmington, Hellifield , Horton in Ribblesdale and finally Great Strickland .

 

I was at Woodacre to see her purr past, but instead she stopped for 10 - 15 minutes just short of the up line signal further down the track towards Scorton. Action from the safety valves ruled out a shortage of steam, but on restarting she wasn't working hard and the box on the back was active.

Close call as LNE A4 Class 4-6-2 No. 60009 'Union of South Africa' approaches Shap Village with the 'Cumbrian Mountain Express'

 

More good stuff Stephen, many thanks for the heads up but it was close

 

Nice shot John. Make a change to see her crawl past Woodacre rather than going 'full chat'!

 

Nice shot. Lucky with that Pendo!

 

Cheers Alan, no doubt the story behind the unscheduled stop will emerge in the fullness of time.

 

Good photo opportunity, particularly from the standing start after the signal check. I have an identical one! - stood just to your left, behind you, on the bridge. Will be interested to find out what the cause was.

 

York Press reports North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue called out to a fire started by a steam engine at Horton in Ribblesdale.

 

Don't know why you bothered cutting the clip of the lineside fire from your video, it's not as if the authorities wouldn't have known. The fire brigade have to log all incidents large or small.

 

Not only has word spread to the States Arthur Brown mentioned it last night

It's not my film just found it looking on utube
I agree the fire service will have the incident logged and all who need to know will have the information.

 

Sorry, I shot the messenger by mistake, my bad.

Not to mention KEITH FLINT

 

Excuse me if I am being obtuse, but I am having trouble understanding some of this thread.

I have watched the last bit several times. All I can see that we would not want to see is a very brief clip, right at the end, out of the front of a road vehicle. At no point in that video can I see either smoke from under a coach or a lineside fire. Will some kind soul please point me to the relevant time in the video and what I should be able to see?

RTT shows arrival at 21:46, only four minutes late. Is that wrong?

If all but a handful remained on board, how come there was room for some of the people from the Giants Festival?

 

Thanks Ralph...knew you'd come through with the info

 

I'm long overdue signing up but here's my video of the kitchen car smoke problem. It explains why the train was more or less on time at Lancaster but 30 minutes late at Preston.
