LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2021

RTT showing movement through the Calder Valley tomorrow evening....Locomotive Services...any info?

 

Returning tour from York to Crewe, then diesel.

 

Saphos Trains, The White Rose, steam Crewe-Hope Valley-York-Calder Valley-Crewe.

 

RTT shows a 12 minute stop at Smithy Bridge, I assume for water?
This is a first here is it not, so must be by Paragon Mill otherwise they'll block the crossing.

 

Many thanks..

I presume DL operated but pathed as Class 158/168/170/175 DMU on RTT even though there are 75mph diesel section running times.

Cheers, Neil

It is according to our local rag! There maybe a few disappointed people if it isn't or more than likely it runs early!

 

Who cares? More importantly this snippet in the Manchester Evening news is a publicity gem for the ELR and if Scotsman's trains aren't full already they will be now.

 

60103 arrives at Castleton this afternoon, more or less on time.

 

Nice image, but most of those cows seem suitably unimpressed.

 

Thanks but it was me that was unimpressed having to keep changing viewpoint to keep the cows in the shot as they moved along the canal bank.
Never work with animals or children!

 

Is working 5 or 6 trips between Bury and Rawtenstall only, together with 3 dining trains and a couple of static days at Heywood.
From the web site, all diners sold out, with odd seats only left on the 9 coach trains apart from 3 trains which have some availability on the second weekend although apparently now selling very quickly, particularly in the last couple of days.
