Clan Line and the Pullmans 13/09/17

Looking forward to seeing the first steam on Martin Mill Bank for a very long time, especially as it's Clan Line

No times yet but hope to see her arrive at Canterbury first.

 

UKRailtours website states confirmed departure time from Victoria as 10:43. Still listing approximate arrival back at 20:00. No times on RTT though

 

The must do for me is the old GA route Dover - Tonbridge, it may well be possible to race it from Martin Mill? I must look up the weather forecast, at present I'm sitting under a cloudless sky and 30C in Majorca but I won't be expecting that. Fly back to reality tomorrow then up early for this, my wife thinks I'm mad.

 

UKRailtours states return to Victoria now confirmed at 19:47. Anyone know times for the run as still nothing on RTT as at 11:40

 

Timings are now complete - as shown in the previous post - and will be appearing via the 'usual channels' over the next couple of hours or so. The unforeseen delay, and associated issues, are outside the control of UKR or the MNLPS.

 

Does not appear to be returning via Redhill and the Brighton line as advertised on UKRT

 

Timings now on UK Steam

where and what is the water stop CRANMORE DL can't find on a map

 

It is a loop just west of Headcorn and it's pathing stop, there is no W stop on the outward run and only at Dover Priory on the return.

 

Can't access OTT page - can anyone advise which line it's booked on at Buckley?

Should say Bickley!

 

it says DSV at BICKLEY JN

 

It's on RTT latest report 1 late at Nunhead

 

Just watched the arrival at Canterbury, superb as always.

Great to see Clan Line today - looking and sounding very sharp. Thought I spotted Wayne on the footplate - anyone know who the crew was toady?

 

Looked like Wayne when he passed me at Martin Mill Bank, Limited video shot as several members of the crew were filming at my favourite spot on the footpath in the middle of nowhere up from Coldblow crossing.
