That's the trouble with Santa expectations, I am afraid - on board and in homes.....
So you missed the Christmas Kent Circular in the snow in 2010 when Clan Line helped out 44932. The best of both worlds! :)
Different issue - i.e. not a lubrication problem - although there was a common focus on 'maintenance'. But please, let's not go there again either.
Report or not, let's not embarrass the A1ST further by going over that incident again. It happened; it shouldn't have happened. End of....sort of!
So it's operationally sensible to drag an extra 80+ tons around? How fuel efficient! And yes I know that the Bath trip needed a DL.
Yesterday was an important day for me as well. I have had a MN northbound on the Brighton main line. It was a non stop run with 35007 on a...
All good to Salisbury. The loco did what was asked and the load was manageable.

Three Bridges to Bath is not a particularly usual starting point and route is it? Yet despite the RTC having their trip on the 14th up for some...
£600 for the driving experience!! And light engine!! A nice earner for someone.
Was on a London train and passed the Brit in the tunnel outside of GLD. What a racket and the exhaust took a full five minutes to clear the...
Whilst taking all the above points on board if Bishops Lydeard were to become an end point for trains currently running from Cardiff instead of...
Not certain of that. Bishops Lydeard offers far better potential for it to serve as both an interchange and through route compared with Norden...
Just so. They don't throw oil everywhere and of course, the steam chest pressure gauge that not all locos have is a help in managing start up.
I see it's booked even time from Basingstoke to Woking on the return. That'll be interesting.
A nice speedy departure. I guess if you are running late then that's a time when the dual power available comes in useful.
