LE Movements

48151 disgraced herself after setting the lineside vegetation alight at Leyland. A few shots of 48151 and the aftermath at http://www.northwestrailphoto.co.uk/gallery/index.php

 

she passed about 6pm. It was unusual, she did well to throw a cinder over there and there was hardly any exhaust. deffinateley to blame though as there is no electrical gear there and its at the top of a fenced off banking. The caught extremeley quick considering how damp its been.

 

UKSteam shows that either 70013 or 34067 is moving from Southall to Crewe tomorrow. Does anyone know what the decision hinges on? And which one is the more likely to make the trip?

I've heard 34067 will go north to work the Liverpool - Scarboro' as both 70013 and 46201 are out of action, 60019 will take over from 34067 in the south, but not to Kent on 28.7.11, which will probably be 70000.

My father is on the CME Saturday, his tickets came today, 5305 is booked for this one.

71000 arrived at west somerset

 

34067 + support coach on time going in to Reading this morning on Southall-Crewe movement.

 

Thanks GWR. Going to try to watch it between Leamington and Warwick during my lunch break so I hope it's on timeish.

 

Spamcan reported as 2 early at Heyford.

 

Thanks for that. Going out now just in case.

 

Any news on the spamcan? I might head out despite the dreary grey weather.

 

5 or 6 early at Leamington but it should be sitting in the Hatton DGL now.

Got a couple of pan shots at Hatton north. Not that successful though as the wind, as per usual when trying for this shot was blowing the wrong way. At any other time it always blows the other way. Seems as though I can't win. Sods law I guess!!

two engines in steam at carnforth, 48151 + 44932, possibly due to 46115's failure yesterday!!! 44932 was lit up yesterday, 48151 today.

 

44932 now in loop about to depart looks like on test run.
