To be honest having been a fireman at the K&ESR for 10 years, I think that whilst the ride is bad it's overstated mostly by people who would prefer a different type of loco. I'm with James squared on the damage it actually does to the track...

Who'd have thought only a few years ago we'd be finding novelty in seeing West Coast's Mk1s on the mainline?! Lovely to see them return and for 46115 back on public mainline passenger duties (And a bonus excuse to travel up to the North East),...

The Duke took 10 last November. The only issue with an S&C return would be Wilpshire Bank, especially the tunnel. Everything on their tour page indicates this will run the same as the previous runs, regardless of the lack of Upperby LE paths...

Its doable waterwise as 5043 did it on the Castle Over Shap in 2009, IIRC they actually took 5043 into Steamtown on that occasion and watered and coaled her, what I cannot recall from that trip is whether there were any intermediate stops or not?

The other tanker out in the open; both are confirmed to be running in the goods train tomorrow. AM812 is in a 1940s Air Ministry colour scheme, which was reproduced after careful archaeology on the layers of paint uncovered as the vehicle was...
