5Z72 York NRM to Crewe Heritage Centre - Tuesday 7th June 2016

60103 Flying Scotsman crosses Slaithwaite Viaduct in the first shot, with later shots featuring the A3 on departure from Marsden, through Alderney Edge and after arrival at Crewe Heritage Centre. Video to follow after tomorrows run.

 

I live in Thornhill (Dewsbury), damn think ran through Thornhill and I missed it.

 

Something to look out for. In a short interview for RH 504, Clive Mojonnier, Chairman of the 6201 Society seemed confident she'll be ready for an initial mainline test in the next few days. She'll then move to Carnforth to do the proper test around the Carnforth Circle.

 

I hear on the grapevine that she'll head for Southall after that. I wonder which routes she has been gauged for?

 

With the present situation probably HS1 and nothing else.....

 

34052 LE Southall to Taunton?

It apparently passes your way again next Tuesday.

 

I daren't ask for any details on here but if anybody knows a time for the Huddersfield to Wakefield section could you please PM me. I'll be out by myself and I don't trespass.

 

You're like me Victor, too knackered to climb over the fence! (only kiddin' )

 

Same times as last week with the bonus of Royal Scot on its way to York from Crewe ( off Brighouse after a 20 min stop at 13.58)

 

PM sent.
