    Was a diesel added to the train or did it set off just with 35018?

    On it’s own Jack but it’s still at Hellifield due to flooding in between Hellifield and Skipton.

    I see, that's a long journey for a steam engine by itself, especially over 3 days, but i'm sure WC know what they are doing, that's if they get going of course.

    Didn't realise that was unassisted too. Just seemed odd for an outing such as that to not have a diesel, but clearly it has happened before.

    With the rain pouring down this was not a night to be out but just had to be done to see 35018 this far south. Running 211 late but making a fine sight through Newark Northgate station

    Watched this yesterday in driving rain in a flooded field. As 35018 stormed through 4 hours late I realised how much of a debt of gratitude we owe to all at West Coast. The footplate staff and support crew deserve medals for what must have been a horrendously long hard day. Well done to all concerned.

    Agree with @68923. Everyone involved on 35018 yesterday must have been absolutely exhausted at the end of the day. Well done to the crew for reducing a 270 minute deficit from Hellifield to a 163 minutes at Ely, helped no doubt by NR signallers.

    West Coast get a lot of stick on here at times when things don't work out right or to some peoples satisfaction, but very rarely do they get praise for anything good. Yesterday was a praiseworthy day IMHO. Not only the ECS move for this train, but they also had their Northern Belle running yesterday plus the Cumbrian Coast Express, so a lot of resources used. So well done all at West Coast.

    Top marks to all involved yesterday getting BIL across country.
    As Mr Groks says, WC get a lot of criticism because of the way they run their business, but without WC and ALL their staff and management, we'd be stuffed.

    Train away from Kings Lynn on time. Hope all on board have an enjoyable day remembering Nigel and the good trips he ran. I'll raise a glass to his memory at lunch time.

    I think that NR should also get some praise for keeping things running, albeit late, in such adverse conditions, and then amongst all their other users, was able to help the ecs recover some time. ECS movements are near the bottom of their priority list.

    Same thoughts here. OK - Nigel led a company that did the same as other companies. But the difference is that he was adventurous. That resulted in ambitious and unusual trips. Fortunately the TOC he worked with tried hard to turn his ideas into reality.

    We have all gained from that. Let's hope that motivation continues.

    Totally agree. There was so much water coming down and on the ground an Ark would have been the most appropriate from of transport! Well done to all at NR.
