Likewise the path from Orton Mere to Belmont Down Yard, although there appears to be a new path from Orton Mere to Doncaster Roberts Rd Rp Gb instead, with the same departure time from Orton Mere.

Nice one Liam, although has she somehow acquired Flying Scotsman’s whistle?

 

Sounds 1000 times better than that. I'm sure they'll sort it out.

 

Lets all hope 45596 passes her loaded test run on 17th jan so then she can hopefully doin her 7 year stint of mainline tours afterall she was a resident at hillhouse L.N.W. huddersfield shed and come onto holbeck besides stockport edgeley so from the west yorks r.way boys we wish her luck(and also stabled sometimes at haworth kvwr depo so we are still custodians of her at haworth loco mpd when she gets her turn to come to us 4 maintenance work.

Welcome back Bahamas!

 

How many coaches is 45596 due to pull on her loaded test run , 10 approx?

 

45596 looking and sounding wonderful at Small Heath and Wilmcote this afternoon. The plan had been to run up and down six times between SH South Jct and the limits of the avoiding line to Bordersley, but the late departure from 84E meant only two were completed before she went back on shed. Plenty of checking over was done at Stratford UA, rumours of a possible hot box but nothing confirmed. Hope everything can be ironed out before Thursday's loaded test. So pleased to see a 'proper' looking Jub back out on the mainline!

 

Any conformation 45596 ran a hot bearing she seemed to have got back to 35e ok boys
