    Can't see that. With a diesel they wouldn't take 34 mins up to Grayrigg and 14 mins Tebay to Shap Summit. Could be a lively ride down through Penrith!

    A gruelling climb of Shap, the loco looked in control and it certainly wasn't a slog like that time in 2015 when in ran in front the Brit !

    Yeah, you're right, sectional 'guess' times by me but as she seems to be on her own, good poerformance so far. I'm surprised the load hasn't been reduced though for the 5xp; I thought there was a maximum laid down last year which was not 12 ! Does reduced loading make that much difference. Ais Gill later !! Be good to see the videos

    "Social distancing" at Ribblehead Station. Guess he is more than 2 metres away from the folks on the platform.

    Well with Wilpshire left to conquer today has been somewhat of a trial of strength. So far the crew and the loco are just winning. Given that the loco is overloaded, we have got away with it. Well done to all.

    A really measured and masterful climb of Wilpshire. Good that the summit arrived when it did though!

    An excellent effort by crew and the Jubilee. I feel certain that West Coast wouldn't have asked Mick Rawling and Craig Todd to do what they had to today unless there was a better alternative. Lucky that the rain Gods were kind.
