Cheers,

 

A couple of howlers in this article. I didn't know 46100 was built at Eastleigh!

Northbound at Brock

 

Looking at the opentraintimes map, they appear to be sat on the DFL at Lancaster, something happened?

Edit: Nevermind on the move again

 

Preston was interesting, as the train dispatchers had there work cut out trying to keep back all passengers on platform 3, with plenty of shouting ! thankfully the road was set to green and and the Scot was opened up nicely in front of the unsuspecting commuters who all in turn rushed to get out their phones out ! Video to follow.

 

Pretty rough out there today, Preston was about as far North as I would dare to go !

 

Good to see 46100 running without a headboard for a change.

 

Wonder it carrying one would be a potential safety issue in strong wind (especially the Saphos one!!!)???

15/02/2020 - A lull for a minute from the horizontal rain and storm "Dennis" as Stanier locomotive 46100 "Royal Scot" rounds the bend into Wennington with the "Pennine Peaks & Valleys Explorer" from Crewe to Carnforth and around the Little North Western route to Hellifield and onto Blackburn and back to Crewe.

 

Love this

 

The White Rose, Shrewsbury - York 7 March 2020.
According to the Saphos website this train is fully booked, but Railway Herald has it down as cancelled. Can anyone confirm?

 

There is a White Rose with UK Railtours on the RH on the same date which is cancelled. Have a closer look at the RH site, it is displaying the Saphos job correctly.
