Cumbrian Coast Express 30th September 2017

I was reading on the Railway Touring Company website to see which engine was on the CCE in a couple of week, but it has disappeared from the website, any ideas why?

Thanks in Advance

Good stuff despite the weather Steve, I was down in the Lune Gorge and it was dry

 

Do's anybody know what the wreath is for.

 

Support crew Gent called John Hobbs who sadly passed away .

 

Thanks John was a great friend of mine i was at is funeral on Thursday.

 

Through Cark in fine form with a toot from the hooter which made a 4 year old girls evening.

One thing I am noticing round here is that watching steam through is getting ever more popular , must have been 10+ at the station and probably at least 5 at the next bridge down the line which is visible from the station.

 

LMS 5XP Class 4-6-0 No. 45690 'Leander' doing the business through the Lune Gorge heading 'The Cumbrian Coast Express' towards Tebay and the north.
The weather although dull was dry, the downpour experienced by the lads further north could be seen from here and they were welcomed to it!!



The change in the weather was very welcomed as LMS 5XP Class 4-6-0 No. 45690 'Leander' works away from Foxfield with the return leg of 'The Cumbrian Coast Express

Is that at Wraysholme? Lovely picture.

 

Northbound at Lowgill.

 

Many thanks. Yes, that's right, near Wraysholme Tower. I went to Cark & Cartmel first but was put off by the big cloud that refused to budge. I only just made it here in time.

 

Love the Lune Gorge shot, you'd never know the motorway existed.

My contributions, under the M6 at Grayrigg, 8 down but very vocal, and on the last leg roaring through Arnside.

 

Agree about the conditions on Shap today some of the worst I've ever seen
