    I had an idea it was an almost daily review process. Regardless, if the NR data places the Pennines in greater risk category than further east that is diametrically opposed to what Natural England suggests from the Met Office data..... The...

    Black is no steam at all. Red I believe is diesel behind steam, but could be wrong. Way back on one thread it was all explained. Edit I had copied from the original post to my hard drive. Green: Steam ok Amber: consider use of diesel Red:...

    By reference to Natural England data, the RTC trip certainly travels through what appears to be a higher fire risk area than the Saphos train...... https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/328554206f114fc98c707bfc1b880cf7[IMG]

    Yes I think red is assisting loco definitely but can't recall if the position in formation is mandated, had an idea it was discretion of the operator. Edit: reading across from the RTC Tynesider thread a DL is on the rear but does the red rating...

    So here we are taking water at Heaton just 15 miles from our Morpeth drop off point! It was a nice run up to York with Les Ross doing what it does best. At York the ECML made us late away plus a power failure in York Depot that marooned...

    Assume the A2 piloted the type 1s Crewe to Preston with the support coach behind the diesels in that case? Then all 4(!) just dropped on the front after the removal of the DL from Nottingham? What a lot of faff, but as you say at least the steam...

    Thirty years now since 46229 ended its mainline career, sadly. Had some lovely days on it at ELR just prior to that and then was very lucky to be involved with it on the run back to York. Happy days, a much missed loco especially with 6233 having...

    Thanks Danny, much appreciated. Like you I'm guessing BP was "assisted" because of NR's perceived fire risk (despite there being minimal actual risk hereabouts). Quite right, the dull conditions do help when photographing BP (and SNG), so if I...

    Still a strange one David with a loco on the rear able to assist. Perhaps LSL policy doesn't allow that? My understanding from previous discussions on NP was that only black risk has a mandatory condition, lower grades allow for some element of...

    Maybe the 20s will drop off to the LSL depot at Upperby? Certainly not much risk of starting a linside fire this morning, ideal quenching conditions!
