Aah, that explains why the HOBC has been late arriving at the WSR just recently. David
The plan has changed. It now returns directly from Stratford to Carnforth via Dorridge.
At a guess, while reversing, the train had to pass over a facing point which was not fitted with a facing point lock, and there was no one...
I believe this was a decision taken by DBC not by Network Rail. Sapperton is steeper and more twisty ! David
I am afraid some of the published allocation information is not correct. 5972 Olton Hall was allocated new to Carmarthen (CARM) in April 1937...
The location of all main line steam locos every Sunday morning is listed in the loco movements page at uksteam.info ! David
This is a WCRC path. Also there is a now a path on Saturday evening from Crewe to Butterley, so maybe 46233 will be in charge ?.

Not forgetting 46100 and 34046 both of which have air brakes and are likely to be down south.
60103 on test York-Scarborough and back on Monday 22 Feb www.uksteam.info/tours/t16/t0222p.htm
Times for the 20 February WCME are now available at www.uksteam.info/tours/t16/t0220a.htm (with RTT links). There are two alternative return paths...
Please note that this still over 14 days away, so the plan could still change ! I guess I should have marked this up as provisional. David
60103 Castleton-Carnforth on Wed 27-Jan http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U50615/2016/01/27/advanced There is no return path showing at the...
