LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2015

You can bet your sweet ass that NR have managed to get this route gauged in time.

 

Wait its nearly autumn. I expect Her Madge's little foray wont run because of leaves on the line. Never mind, she'll get a voucher to travel on another Royal Train on a date she can't do.

 

Showed on RT a load of 715 tons !!! Did they have the Royal Train with them or what ?? Anyone know time of dep in the morning ?? And what's the reason for no 9 being the appointed train engine ? (nothing against her, love the engine, but just wondering

 

Should imagine it's due to her Scots ancestry ?

 

I would imagine no 9 was chosen quite simply because there are currently only three locos who could (60009, 60163 or 70000) and originally she should have been in Scotland and the other two weren't.

Makes sense, Andrew, thanks.

 

Some brief footage of No 9 and Tornado LE move, presumably arriving in Scotland, on BBC Breakfast this morning.

 

Can't see a LE for Tornado back down south for Fridays BP

 

UKSteam has Fridays BP cancelled.
