    Be surprised if it did Danny as there was a big speed restriction near the summit after the landslip but not sure if it is in place .

    Wasn't there a WCME a few years ago when 44932 & 45305 paired up.

    It's tragic to think that 60103 will now not be able to work this weekend's WCME as Riley's team worked 24/7 to get her to the condition that she is now in and I do feel sorry for them that this Air Brake issue has once more risen after being fixed once before. Lets not forget though that Scotsman's 93 years old now and wasn't designed to have air braking fitted. Will be interesting to see what duo does take her place as some sources state it's 45407 + 45699 & Riley's lads say it will be 44871 + 45407. The only issue I have with the later is 44871's still in Grosmont and getting a path back to Bury at such short notice wont be easy as the tours less than 4 days away.

    It's not 'tragic', it's just disappointing. 'Tragic' should be reserved for the serious matters of life and death. Just saying.

    Spotted that this morning on UK Steam. The good thing about this though is that 44871's the last of the currently mainline approved black 5's that I need to ride behind on a steam special as iv already had the other 4 with 3 of them being on 2013's 1T57 anniversary special.

    Just realised that this year 44871's mainline ticket runs out as she returned to the mainline in 2009, wonder if she will be getting an extension on the ticket for another year or going straight in for overhaul like 45407 did.

    Don't know about 44871, but 45212 is coming :)

    I wonder if it'll be possible to have a gathering of 1968 black fives at Carnforth in 2018?

    Just received an email from RTC saying that subject to a successful test run 60103 will be hauling the trip on the 6th February, if the test is unsuccessful/doesn't happen then it will be 46233.

    What is doesn't say is what happens if ORR revoke West Coast Safety Certificate... Time will tell.

    Yes, I received the same info from the RTC. The original plan was for the first main line passenger carrying trip with FS to take a diesel. So if that turns out to be Feb 6th then I see no reason why the same will not still apply, especially if the Duchess has to take one this Saturday because of stock movements at Carlisle.

    So, I think that my return to steam behind FS can wait.

    If a decision has been taken to use eth only it's possible the steam heat capability of the stock is no longer being maintained as a cost saving measure accordingly.

    Seems as though a diesel may go to Carlisle for the shunt. Can't see a LE return to Carnforth so just a bit of extra weight all round then? If that's the price to pay for being allowed to take a charter into Carlisle during the WCML closures then so be it, I guess.
