    Don't get too carried away posting royal train times. On the assumption that its OK to tell everyone where its already been through, 67005 and 67006 ran north today from Wolverton up the WCML with the stock.

    well they are now on Ribble steams facebook page, I'm a bit miffed about how much coverage they seem to be getting seeing as its sposed to be High security.

    Its more serious than they think. Some people I know have got into a lot of trouble. And the posting of the times is bad for their source as someone has leaked the timings who shouldn't have at some point.

    Funny how people say about security about Royal Train timings, yet the timings for the DRS Nuke runs are easily obtainable, i know which i think has more risk attached.

    Does the rumoured continuation of the journey over to York have any weight? I'd hate to miss it!

    Thanks for recording such a memorable occasion for the rest of us to enjoy guys, pity the weather wasn't kinder to you.

    How come 70000 wasn't sporting the traditional four lamps ?, i only counted 3 on the bufferbeam, am i right in thinking 4 are only carried when the King/Queen is being carried ?.
