I think you're right with the diesel being there as a precaution but I don't think its concern about the crews ability. My gut feeling is that getting it right is proving harder than expected. Only a gut feeling, though. I've nothing to...

Perhaps (I don't know) it's an attempt to entice more people onto the lightly loaded 10.55.

Give him a chance, he's got about 500 pages of catchup to do first! :) (And that's to say nothing of the WSR and L&B threads... :eek:)

If it’s simply stabled I’m not sure how you could come to any conclusion on its ability to steam.

Reading between the lines, the fact that 2253 is going out with a diesel does manle me think that the oil firing is not yet going to plan. The various photos showing a black exhaust seem to support this. 2 =2 does make 5, doesn't it?;)

Swapping locos at Grosmont as you suggest is a nightmare to be avoided, especially as platform 4 is currently unavailable. For example, whichever train arrives first, the loco has to uncouple and run round and be stabled out of the way before...

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....

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...

I agree that there is absolutely no chance of seeing Mallard run close to 100mph in the future. But as a restoration candidate for more modest mainline and heritage line running, I can see a considerable opportunity in having the loco operational...

The requirement for every passenger to have a seat is part of the Reg 5 exemption from door locking. Clause 3 (vii) states: " the Company must ensure that passenger loadings do not exceed the total seating capacity available within the relevant...

I don’t know the details but I assume it was for materials only. As I said, it was said to me by a person who was very much involved in the engineering management during a conversation and was to illustrate the problems of keeping the locos...
