    The latest Beano reports that the ORR's industry consultation on the exemption application has concluded but it's possible the responses might cause further information to be needed from the applicant before a decision can be announced.

    Maybe WC has some contractual obligation to Riley's and as the Jacobite not running has been by choice [of WC] rather than external factor, the time has come where the contract has to be fulfilled or compensated? Seems to me Rileys have been very...

    I don't think that you'd need to send both Black 5's all the way to Fort William unless you're actually going to run the train. My bet is that Tangmere will do the Coast to Coast (if it runs) and the Northern Belle will be diesel hauled due to...

    Andy Wilson. ELR bought a more than half share of the loco circa 1992, and it was moved to Kirkby where Ian finished it off on behalf of the ELR. It arrived at the ELR, undertook successful testing September 1993. Then Wilson promptly initiated a...

    Yes quite possibly, only we haven't seen WC operating trains without a power supply yet, whether DL or from mk1 alternator on the Jacobite. The system SRPS has adopted for its dual braked set is probably more like what WC will be wanting for its...

    I suppose the only question is how the CDL is powered and the implications it might have for the mk1s going forward. It doesn't really give us any clue either as to whether an exemption is forthcoming because you'd think they'd be sending non CDL...

    Pressure Vent MK2s except the brake. Some of these have been fitted out with CDL quite recent. So actually it seems good progress to me. From what I can make out most of the coaches (Except the brake) are the formation of the last afternoon...

    Agreed. Be interesting to see what powers the CDL.

    Apparently there have been a number of incidents of passengers fainting due to the heat, so decision was taken to trial aircon. That's what staff just told me. Too many medical emergencies.

    Good grief! They obviously don't like the soot from their steam lcos getting in and spoiling the decor ..... Or maybe complaints from non-enthusiasts?
