LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2015

Tempted to go to Langho, but the forecast isn't great ! Might gamble it and hope the weather has pushed across by the late afternoon.

 

I think the world and his dog will be at Langho tomorrow!

 

A poor vid., but nevertheless an historic event.

 

Here is 6100 coasting through Lancaster without a trace of smoke or steam.

I have included two shots of it at Bressingham in the 1980s alongside 6233, and three of it at Crewe in 2011.

Thanks, I missed her about 40 seconds at Lancaster as I was at the top of the access down from Meeting House Lane as she went through... very loud whistle though!

 

shot of Royal Scot coasting through a rather gloomy Leyland http://www.northwestrailphoto.co.uk...album=lastup&cat=0&pid=3168#top_display_media

 

My god, what are they doing to the place?........ I spent many a happy hour there as a kid!

 

apparently improving it, although thats debatable

 

Fail to see how!

At least you got to see a Scot rolling through - best I ever got was a 40 or a Peak going hell for leather on a summer Saturday 'express'!

 

Shame........you missed the best

 

I may have - I'm not 'that' old - though my old man saw many goings on, as it were his home patch.

RTT says 46100 left Carnforth 51 down.

 

Yes, as 1242. 47804 on rear. AN

 

Does seem to have disappeared somewhat into the ether between Carnforth and Hellifield on RTT http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P80045/2015/12/22/advanced

But I think this is the norm!

 

Yes, that's normal. Has popped up again at Settle Jn at 1349, 46L. Not sure how much RTT will show of the progress through Hellifield...

 

Through Lostock Hall 39 early !! RTT shows for me arr and left Hellifield 34 late but stopover at Blackburn cut to 7 mins instead of the scheduled hour.

 

Now for the usual fun and games.... will RTT update correctly on leaving Preston, will I be able to get down to Lancaster station in time if the system is slow to update....

Missed her by about 40 seconds yesterday!
