The Robin Hood - Sunday 9 November 2014

According to UK Steam that went via the ECML & Spalding outward , the one in 2011 went via the Midland Mainline and Newark.

 

Not sure this will be such a good spot if it's on the fast line, as RTT suggests. Forecast now suggests a good chance of sun, but there's a lot of vegetation close to the fast line.

 

So, can anyone confirm which bridges are currently being taken down ?

Is this spot closed off ?

 

Went to Templers way bridge Sharnbrook this morning it is still open but notwork are building a scaffolding foot bridge on the south side,they have cut back the vegetation so still a photo shot,Soldrop bridge was still closed.

 

Did the Souldrop bridge look like it would re-open scheduled tomorrow?

46115 passed through a damp Rugby earlier about 30 mins ago.

 

could not get near it as road is closed

 

Back Lane Bridge won't be shut will it? Will the crossing be? Hope to get a film from both the bridge and level crossing.

 

Is Souldrop Bridge

Souldrop bridge ?? Is that the bridge on Back Lane ?

 

This is Templars Way bridge in Sharnbrook

That's only good for stills ! I'm trying to find out if the bridge on Back Lane (souldrop) is accessible !

 

Another good photo place is Irthlingborough road in Wellingborough just south of the station

 

Back lane bridge is open, I was there on thursday. The foot crossing boards on the fast down is in place, but the fast up has been ripped up as the line has just been replaced, the crossing on the slow reversible is in tact. And there is the key, is it on the fast down, or the reversible avoiding line. Anyway, having looked at the view, it will be working hard but the video shot time is too short, its a short distance from the curve to the bridge, I shall be elsewhere.

 

It is an excellent view, but it will probably be regulator shut off as it down hill and approaching a curve.

 

Cheers ! I'd rather have a short shot of it working hard, then gambling on another spot, where it could be coasting ! I'm hoping to get another shot at speed through Loughborough, as it will be on the fast through there !

 

I am still uming and ahing about where to go.

 

RTT suggests it will be on the fast between Bedford & Kettering

 

I did fancy another crack at Manton.

 

Let me know as I can then give you a wave and a smile as we speed past. I'll be wearing my dayglo outfit especially for the occasion.

 

Blott on the landscape springs to mind......

 

you'll be flying to make manton after sharnbrook.
