A nice climb out of the Severn Tunnel. Plenty of noise from the front.
Almost a Jinty... Anyway, things running as expected.
Best that can be done in the circumstances, as I imagine it would be difficult to rustle up a second crew at this late stage. Still, my quest for...
Bearing issue happened again, 60009 no longer on tomorrow's run according to their FB page. They tried their best. Now to see what Plan B or C...
Hang about... See LE move thread. Stopped for past 30 minutes near Wolverton.
I recall steam used to be more common the other way, but plans to incorporate that leg into an itinerary have come to nought in recent years.
I suspect there will be a degree of 'attrition' if everyone else is thinking like me. Speaking purely for myself, I don't intend to do a repeat...
Good stuff, but still can't do everything! Maybe something to consider for 2021.
New tours added to October. Highlights for me are the Buxton Spa Express (hoping it does what's on the tin and gets the LNWR route to Stockport...

Marvellous. So no run via Barnsley, which was why quite a few of us bothered booking in the first place. All in all, when 60163 the previous day...
Pretty standard route as suspected following the loss of Stoke. Oh, well. Bail out at Crewe on return if possible.
It seems that you have not quite grasped what the on-board accounts are saying. Where hand sanding had been applied, the train restarted (ie....
Blackburn to Bolton was timed for 29 minutes on 15 February 2015 (Tin Bath), including 4 minute crossing at Darwen, although it was in the...
52 minutes Blackburn to Bolton. In the absence of detailed timings, would this suggest a run via Chorley instead of Sough?
I suppose there's also the extra long lamp irons, too...
No, from what I remember we slipped twice, then came to a stand as the brakes were finally put on to prevent us rolling back too far. Slips were...
