Any news if diesel is still piloting leander up to carlisle

 

Been told Leander is fixed !

 

I knew I shouldn't have canned it after the shot at Hoghton this morning...

 

Dam I wish I had a not got off in Bolton now any pics of Leander taking the reins again please?

 

Are you on board the train?

It's not left Hellifield yet.

Dave B

 

No got off at Bolton because I thought the day was going to be a shambles

 

Well that was silly

 

Confirmed Leander on front and diesel on rear after Hellifield. No diesel pilot.

 

You jumped ship too quick, it's just gone through Horton in Ribblesdale with the diesel on the back.

Thought I'd make do with 2nd best and go up the KWVR anyhow after not trusting what one on the stewards told me about it may be steam on ahead from Hellifield.

 

No got contact in the know

 

Leander going well at Helwith Bridge on the outward leg....

 

Bloody he'll, that was quick Phil ! You got Wi-Fi on the move lol

 

Is leander coming off at Carnforth due to that occurring with the T.P.W.S. Equip failing or staying on for the return leg to Manchester.

 

Steam usually comes off at Carnforth on these runs. AN

 

Getting off the train ensured that the day was a shambles. Better luck next time. <BJ>

If you are not going to trust a member of staff then who are you going to believe?

 

Well I went on the north Britain last year when a diesel had to pilot tornado from Belmont yard with a T.P.W.S. Problem and a steward on that train told us the diesel might have been detached, however it didn't happen and that's why because someone told me the battery went flat on Leander today. I asked he steward can it be fixed no he said the batteries have to be charged at 10A so I lost hope but can the batteries on the T.P.W.S. equipment be charged from a diesel hooked on the front of a loco anyone know? Unless it was another issue with the T.P.W.S. equipment.
