LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2016

Any and all freight operators. IE DBS, DCR, GBRf, Colas, are all called FRGT on RTT

 

And following on from that - this appears to be FS positioning move for the thursday trip

Perhaps she will run down covered by a cloth so no one can see?

 

Plywood covering made to look like a 66? or even worse a 67

 

Bet it will be behind 67005 or 67006

 

It's been done before:

Great find!
It's hard to believe that that very elegant Edwardian shape eventually evolved into the form that is Flying Scotsman now, isn't it?

 

Reported elsewhere, 2moros run to Scarborough is off, broken spring needs replacing

 

Guy - Thanks for the update. Where else was this reported?

 

On 'The Works' forum.

 

As reported elsewhere, with the broken spring issue, this path has not been activated.

 

Ooopps I lied, It was activated at 10:05. Seen plenty activated and a:not run, and b: cancelled tho.

 

And now cancelled.

 

Alan. Thanks for the info. Do you know if the Scarborough test run will be re-instated once the broken spring is replaced or will the LE move to Wembley be used as the test?

 

Afraid not. It seems to have gone quiet at the moment.

 

Won't be going anywhere until "Sir Nigel" says so!

 

Test run today.
