It looks as though today's CME may have been a trip of two halves. Pleased to see the decent run to Carlisle. Around 67 minutes is pretty...
Take away the sound by putting everyone in an air con coach with no opening windows and all you have left is the performance. But if you have no...
I thought that there was work to do on the inside motion.
Got it in one. If you've never experienced it then you won't miss it. The novelty will be food on a train that's worth eating - as that's gone...
Indeed it is and whilst I know that slack timings give the opportunity for recovery when there is a problem, such as the other day, it often turns...
Look, I take it on trust from the ORR that what they have done was for the right reasons. The fact that they gave a warning the first time and...
Sorry. TLDR.
Why crazy? Take me through that reasoning please.
Reposting the full list of comparative speeds between Galatea (1st) and Bahamas (2nd). It does underline the point about double chimney v single...
Perhaps we are now at the stage where you sit in your seat if you are on the main line. If you want to 'window loiter' then go to a heritage...
That outward speed at Totnes shows that the Bahamas climb of Rattery was pretty good to have only dropped from 40 to 17. It also underlines the...
Here's an interesting comparison between two Jubilees over the Devon banks. To be fair Galatea had the conditions that were more slippy. The...
Top and tail on the main line when clearly both locomotives need to work is also a tricky activity that it seems only West Coast is happy to...
Pity that the TT is up north. One of that size was never needed I don't think. Meanwhile down south we really need one at Weymouth. Sorry...
The above and the videos suggest to me that this was a brilliant bit of enginemanship from the West Coast folk with a locomotive that was near the...
Agreed 100%. The fact that our occasional 'drop-in' commentator with his red pen has been silent suggests that this is serious. It would be a...
Well done for sticking with what was always going to be a compromised trip. It sounds as though Leander did what it could. Had the train been...
Indeed and also doing it at the speed of the stopping services. The drop off at Clapham on the way back is telling. You might as well tell people...
I know that today's arrangement was unavoidable so no criticism there but.... To describe a Class 5 with a heavy 12 coach train (plus a diesel)...
Whilst I agree with the above the fact that the train takes five hours to get to Weymouth is the deal breaker. That's over half an hour longer...
