    Update on the above, just received an email apparently there are 12 seats left on the September 19th run and 24 for the 3rd October trip, so it appears that the trains will be running

    From an email received earlier looks like 17th October is also running, and again only has 24 seats left.

    Well, if she's going to be out I would of expected some kind of test run this week, unless West Coast are happy with the current condition it's in. Anyone know the last time 6201 ran ?

    Might be worth watching RTT today as this shows Test Train to be a ThO working.

    If it's running steam hauled tomorrow as advertised and being a heavy train I wonder if 35018 could be in the frame ?

    It's the Northern Belle isn't it, so air braked only?

    It will be 6201 because all the other Carnforth pool steam locos are vacuum braked only.

    Just got booked onto the 17th October run, let's hope Boris doesn't have other ideas

    Mrs W accompanied me to Oram’s Xng - plenty of photographers about in the fields. Lizzie looked a picture, highlighted by a burst of autumnal sunshine, the blowing draincock on the driver’s side heralded her arrival (2E). The resplendent Northern Belle stock hurried by with Windsor Castle in matching livery attached to the rear (and giving a fair push, thus ruining any attempts to be a “stealth diesel”).

    The Northern Belle is about something quite different from what a steam enthusiast might wish for and to be honest, if it was (Covid) full of people today then that is good and a welcome income for the loco owners. By contrast, the southern version of pullman luxury usually meets both needs when steam is at the front. Sorry - just had to say that.

    A couple of shots of the big red lady on the outward leg this morning:

    A bit blustery so there's a little camera shake.
