Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

Thanks v much for the info. My notes say that I had 63395 from Pickering to Grosmont and 76079 from Grosmont to Whitby on 22 April 23 so that sounds like it may well have been it’s v last trip. And I attach a pic at Whitby taken on that day....

But the mess is not about structure but people and values. And, on that, Bluebell seem to have managed to preserve the balance.

Unfortunately I think there remains a gap between what Carnforth PR says and the reality of operations on the ground. The facts remain that West Coast own the paths out of Fort William, they remain (uniquely) resourced to operate the Jacobite....

The only barrier to them operating was West Coast themselves, who declared the operation uneconomic. There has never been any reason the Jacobite couldn't run if a compliant method could be found, that happened last year and has now happened...

£62.50 Castle to Liverpool on 13th June in Standard Class. Unbeatable price I suggest. We can achieve this by adding more TSOs than we usually do (up to five instead of two) and listening to the non enthusiast market for days out to an...

I just checked the Jacobite price, and it starts at £76, which isn't hugely more than the NYMR £50 or so. Admittedly there is not a great discount for children, but I guess they are not pitching the Jacobite as a family day out. And given they...

I go out for a bit and all hell breaks loose! Thanks Tom. :) After a minutes thought, whilst it is a reasonable idea, I don't think that it is practical. If the venture is to satisfy the demand it is going to require two train sets c/w locos....

I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...

Yes, that was the tightest year - 73082, 80151, 541, 65 all year; 263 for the beginning of the year and 6989 from June. I guess technically there was a period between March and June when only four steam locos were available. The position has...
