'Scotsman' will be working this coming Sunday's 'Waverley'; 'Leander' will work the two remaining trains. JS
I had rather hoped the position had been made quite clear! Unless there is a change in fire-risk status (unlikely), there will be no requirement...
As of today, both Great Western and LNE have reverted to 'Normal' status, whilst LNW and Wessex currently remain 'High'. JS
The reporting board was mine and, you are quite correct, it was the one carried by 44871 in ‘68. I also supplied the ‘Carnforth’ buffer-beam...
All steam ops on Network Rail are subject to fire-risk assessment and appropriate mitigation, according to the level of risk. Scotland has been...
I do. Having just got off the fire-risk conference call, the status remains 'high' on LNW(N); it was therefore agreed that all three trains over...
Correct. LNW(S) is currently maintaining a prohibit on all steam movements, which effectively covers WCML (south of Crewe), Manchester and the...
Our planners identified and provided a suitable path, for a 45mph movement, so we used it. JS
Not quite sure from where you got that idea. Whilst it's true that tender-first running should be avoided, if possible, where turning facilities...
An issue with the 8F, before it left Carnforth. Steam ('Leander') agreed for tomorrow, with diesel inside. JS
No - the access charge for charters is by train or train type, whereas all others are by vehicle make-up. JS
We've already addressed that - the assisting diesel will come from Cfth with the steam loco; it won't be the loco off the in-coming charter. JS
No problem - basically, LNW (N&S) have declared a High risk and that, effectively, means no steam on their core routes (WCML and...
Rather than speculate, I suggest you all re-read my post on the Fellsman thread, as I was involved in agreeing the policy and take part in in the...
Jacobite is indeed assessed locally and the system works well. All other Routes work on rolling assessment and daily phone conferences with...
On the Outward, diesel detaches at Guide Bridge (thence back to Liverpool, to await ecs); 'Leander' off at Milford, on Rtn, and is replaced by a...
Are they? The Coast gauging was not completed for 'BIL' and the other three have not been requested in last couple of years.
'Just' a case of running the program is often the problem. Steam locos are individually (or by same class) gauged over any requested route and...
The obvious answer but the LNW route currently has clearance issues in Eaves and Barmoor Clough Tunnels for almost all traffic. It would have...
You’re probably thinking of Swainsley tunnel on the Leek & Manifold. JS
