The Nigel Dobbing Memorial Train 17th March 2019

So 35018 goes to Kings Lynn for the train which appears to arrive there at the end of it's journey, no doubt full details will appear soon enough.

And a roundabout route back to Carnforth on the 18th. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U54941/2019/03/18/advanced

 

I assume that the stock moves will be diesel hauled with BIL in light steam?

 

Dunno. I wonder if we will see the Queen of Scots vintage coaches which were used on Nigel Dobbing's charter in 2013?

35018 sat in the loop at 10A with the stock but not moving anywhere.

 

Does she have an accompanying diesel?

 

It does look like it on fire tho?

 

On its way now, 60L.

 

No on it’s own with seven on . Video to follow

 

Reached Hellifield Goods Loop at 10.50 but not moved since? Anyone any idea?

 

Reading elsewhere its been held at Hellifield due to flooding

 

Thanks very much

 

Rail Advent F/book page saying it might not make it to Kings Lynn for tomorrows train.

Northern saying Skipton to Carlisle line affected by flooding with road replacement en route to trains stuck at Hellifield and Kirkby Stephen.

Seems things are moving again. The Carlisle to Leeds unit has left Gargrave 111L, so hopefully 35018 should get the road.

 

Belay that order; it's still there!

 

35018 leaving Carnforth .

 

There are other delayed trains on the S & C so don't think 35018 wil be moving just yet.
