    Well dont know which video you were wathcing but doesnt look like that to me...? Looks as though the 8f just had its regulator cracked for lubrication purposes and the two exhauts show the 5 is working alot harder.

    No, but there's an earlier post that states 10.20am, whereas, I heard 11.48 today,whilst watching the '5' being coaled at 6.30pm, it was still facing south. hope that helps.

    these are one set of times i have seen
    CARNFORTH 10:21
    SETTLE JN 11:08
    HELLIFIELD 11:14 12:04
    CLITHEROE 12:52
    BLACKBURN 13:25 13:52
    FARINGTON JUNCTION 14:19
    PRESTON 14:25 15:10

    and others state
    SETTLE JUNCTION 1344
    HELLIFIELD 1348 1429
    CLITHEROE 1457
    BLACKBURN 1520

    the second set of times would correspond with your 1148 departure

    the first set of times that I saw were released over a week ago, given NR's timing issues at present, these are most likely unreliable or out of date based on previous runs, which we all know, barely get adhered to anyway. my money is on the later departure

    That is an incorrect attempt to start receiving updates from Railtour Live for the 3rd July, t = steam railtour, 0703 = month and day, then the missing letter referring to the actual tour on that day, b = Swanage Bell and d = Central Wales, etc.
    If the code is input correctly it does not appear on the site, but if the code is incorrect then the system takes it as an update.
    So not relevant to today at all.

    as I wasn't able to get to Carnforth this morning, am relying on a siting to determine where it's gonna be and what time, I'll probably be somewhere near lancaster or preston, need to check bus times. would appreciate knowing when it leaves Hellifield in case it doubles back. no car today, just bike or bus.
