    There'll be three air-braked steam locos available first thing Saturday morning at Carnforth - 34067, 44871, and 45407. (Plus 34028 departing for York.)

    I understand there was an NR signalling problem at Castleton which caused the delay but I don't think that was the reason 44871 didn't accompany 5407.

    The expectation seemed to be that it would go north yesterday with 5407 but obviously it didn't.

    From Northern Belle, "If the trip is diesel-hauled, guests will receive a £30 credit per person, equivalent to the steam supplement. While this is unlikely, we believe in being transparent as this is a possibility."

    Well I suppose we can only take WC at their [most recent] word ".... we've decided to fit CDL to our entire mk1 fleet .." . There wouldn't be any point announcing an operational decision and then not doing it ....

    But WC is fitting CDL to its entire mk1 fleet, which is dual braked stock, now, according to their latest press release. So unless their CDL system only works with air, by the time 70013 is finished there seems to be a likelihood of compatible...

    Was thinking about the comment on loading. The issue with the MHR is being shorter and therefore the stations being closer together, the problem isn’t that Dave couldn’t haul 6 coaches, but that it cannot keep time with that number. 3, possibly 4...

    Prodigious loads up lengthy, twisty, steep gradients was the bread and butter for an Austerity at many NCB locations, just without the pesky timetable to worry about ........ Does 'Linda', aka 'Dave', have any of the blastpipe mods which have...
