..and presumably the work required was somewhat less than some of the doom-mongers on here were predicting.
Any news of whether there's a diesel in the formation today?

Do they have tyre turning facilities at Southall?
So, next time you travel on a steam tour, will you take your photos using a Box Brownie with you rather than a modern digital camera or camcorder-...
VT may have looked at the route .... but have NR? Wasn't there a VT trip to Ely some years a go where NR said a Hall was out of gauge just a day...
That is true, but unfortnately that argument has been rather undermined when locos with such spark arrestors have caused lineside fires. I don't...

What do you mean by "good"? Lots of sunshine sithat you get nice photos of the "assisting" diesel? Or pouring with rain so that there's a chance...
Could get complicated if there is a diesel in the formation - remember to normal situation for this train is boiler first to Chester - (turn loco...
So we're unlikely to see a Hall in Stockport then? :confused:

When they passed thorugh Manchester Victoria, the formation was 70013 (leading) + support coach + 47245 (rear). I'm guessing that this was so that...
Diesel did not appear to be pushing as the train departed Stockport over the viaduct, but I'm sure it will "assist" over the more flammable sections.
I think the Met Office were spot on. Thunderstorms are always going to be localised - just because you didn't get any doesn't mean they didn't...
I'm guessing that 70013 will arrive facing north and the two Black Fives will face south so that they are right for the 1T57 recreation. I think...
Could be that RTC prefer to cancel rather than use a diesel. As discussed elsewhere, it's all down to the different markets and whether the...
DBS operate the Torbay Express which was 5029+47812.
Is that true, or is it simply that VSOE passengers are much less likely to be bothered about the train being steam-hauled? (I have heard it said...
Having been to steam galas on other railways where a required loco only works goods trains, or is only acting as station pilot, or does not work...
