LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2021

D1755 just departed Henley in Arden.

 

Clun was apparently seen dead at Tyseley which casts doubt on its running for shareholders on Thursday though I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

 

Just seen BIL arrive in York Station on railcam.

 

I concur, just seen 35018 heading to NRM.

 

Looks like motive power for a trip to the seaside on Thursday, bucket and spade at the ready!

 

And possibly, with a bit of luck, over the hills with the Waverley.

 

Word from those in the train at Henley was superheater problems.

 

On the Waverley, 8th so the Scot would be nice as the 5x is darn sarf.......wouldn't be disappointed with BIL at the helm though.

 

For those that knew him, a message on Facebook says that the ashes of Dave Rodgers will be conveyed over Ribblehead on the tour of the 8th. The annual reunion to mark the end of BR steam takes place the same day at the Station Inn, Ribblehead so a chance to raise a glass in Dave's memory.

 

Same here, God willing. Would be equally happy with either, as I've always had a good day out behind 46115, but seeing as 35018 is in the area and Bulleids are my preference.

 

on both next week, so looks like BIL for S.S.E & Waverley

 

Tuesday at Giggelswick, 45627 Sierra Leone was opened up as it reached the west end of the station, at which point there are now 60mph signs.
Does anyone know what the speed limit is between Settle jctn and Giggelswick

 

25 mph through the connections at Settle Jn, 30 through Giggleswick station platforms and 60 either side of the station

 

Thank you for the information

 

Tornado's return to Scotland ready for Saturday after working tomorrows Northern Belle.
Due Joppa at 0115, then sets off for Edinburgh at 0729. There'll be some weary support crew I guess.
