    You really do have to feel for the RTC. They give an indicative time from London of 0750, presumably on the basis of what they have been given previously. And then NR gives them a start time of 0708. OK it's only three quarters of an hour earlier but at that time of day it can make all the difference between getting to the train at KX or not, unless you live on the Euston Road.

    And as for my Valentine feeling ok about leaving before dawn and breakfast, I know the answer to that one. So on that basis, I'm out!

    Interesting Al, 34067 Tangmere is showing as replacement engine for this trip. Not sure when she last visited Kings Cross, but 10 hours of running is a great test for her.

    I'm guessing that it may be related to the fact that, last Saturday, 60009 was sitting in Crewe Heritage Centre, separated from its tender, with a tarpaulin over the cab.

    It was reported in a different thread that No 9 had been lifted off her wheels at Crewe recently.

    How many tenders will Tangmere have on Saturday? Also what kind of performance can we expect from the bullied pacific?

    That kind of question really shouldn't be asked of any steam locomotive. You'll get what you get on the day dependent on loco and crew.

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in Narrow Gauge or not. Those travelling to York on this may wish to know that the Ffestiniog's 'Prince' is booked to be working at the NRM on the 14th, there is also booked steam on the NRM's miniature line. Something to keep you out of the pub for a few minutes BP?

    If Tangmere is involved thankfully there will be some smoke and drama rolled in the mix somewhere.

    I don't know what performance you'd get out of a 'bullied' pacific. I suppose it would be a bit cowed, brow-beaten and introverted. However you can expect entertainment with a Bulleid pacific on good form, although with a schedule like that, there won't be much scope for fast running without early arrival at the loops. Having said that, I'm heading down to Peterborough just to get some mileage behind 34067 to 'clear' it for one. Also means I finally get the southbound bit between Colton Junction and Doncaster done by steam before line capacity on the ECML drops the cake and stops the party. Its the one good reason to support HS2...

    I think subsidised tea at the NRM and some dinner after a wander round is called for, Mr. P.

    The 2015 'Locomotive Exchanges'. Incidentally, UKS still has 60009 in the timings but 34067 on the summary.

    11 late off Kings Cross, 1 early at Biggleswade and no box on the back. Bulleid brilliance! All you doubters hang your head in shame. :)

    Not as smooth as I would have liked ut I had tripod problems and Youtube's usually excellent stabilisation feature seems not to have done its job this time. Now edited to include footage of the return run.
    Hope you enjoy it all the same.
