Enjoy, not looking like it'll need rescueing.

I think I spotted a certain Nat Pres gricer with a border collie lower down at Parton?

 

Job well done today by 46115 after its winter hibernation.
First time RTC customers in the group very satisfied.
Look forward to viewing the lineside records later.

 

Yes in deed Ian, twas me Trooper and DopeyT, thought I would leave the clifftop shot for the Earl. Nice set by the way

 

Footage of 46115 at Scout Green/Salterwath , St Bees and finally climbing Dalton Bank .

 

Lineside fire at Nethertown. Happened quite close to me! Fire brigade called and in attendance.

 

Thanks Shep, though less of the Earl, unless Henry was up there too???

Good Lord no

 

I'd have been a seriously pissed off if I'd driven all the way to Wigton and then some silly bint with a phone/cam caused the train to stop, ruining a decent shot!

 

Did nobody offer her any 'friendly' words of advice?

 

Did she cause the train to stop? Or was the signal on?

 

Looked like a signal check. It's rare for steam tours to be halted, due to a odd trespasser ! Especially on a climb.

 

That'll be why they didn't throw lumps of coal at her then!
