    Great Britain XVII - 26/04 to 4/05/25

    Given that the first train to Wick leaves at around 7 am, a start nearly two hours earlier for the GB feels like Network Rail is taking the mickey...

    Great Britain XVII - 26/04 to 4/05/25

    My guess is 8 am from Inverness and back by 10 pm with maybe an hour at either Wick or Thurso. Either way it'll be a long day.

    Jacobite 2025

    I would have thought that the First Class rake for GBXVII will give a better indication of what West Coast is going to send out in 2025.

    Great Britain XVII - 26/04 to 4/05/25

    The late arrival of Tornado to the GB party has done much to improve the loco mix for this tour. I wish it well as it seems that only the RTC...

    Jacobite 2025

    I fear you are just showing your ignorance of meteorological and vegetation factors at work in the West Highlands and not just this spring. As for...

    Jacobite 2025

    Ironic that. I view the reaction on the S&C with Bahamas far more OTT than the fire concern in the West Highlands. In one case if it had gone...

    In this country, yes, and as a result all people who have to abide by those safety rules do what they do. And if it's more than your jobs worth to...

    Agreed. A stupid and thoughtless thing to do. However, the real time video shows that he was not on the side that Bahamas was due and he could see...

    Just by way of balance, albeit with a Class 7 but also with 12 up, I have a Carnforth to Carlisle log with 46115 on a late start that managed it...

    Great Britain XVII - 26/04 to 4/05/25

    Was just going by what seemed to happen in 2011 as per #57. It's hard to argue against the extra demand that 2025 constraints impose on train...

    Two locos plus two support coaches plus a kitchen car plus a diesel to power the rolling stock hardly leaves much passenger carrying opportunity...

    Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters

    Coincidence. My last Lymington was also with 80011 but on 7/2/67.

    I think you are correct. It's not a line that's covered often. And I believe that getting the train to visit both Wick and Thurso has not been...

    Ah, the days of double headed steam north of Inverness. Sadly that's long gone with all the operational and rolling stock issues that now prevail.
