"The White Rose", 15/06/22.

 

Situation normal, full dull for the "Geordie Duchess" seen here fighting her way through the undergrowth and detritus north of York on the way to Tyneside.

"The Geordie Duchess" (way aye), 18/06/22.

 

Many thanks for the three Geordie Duchess pics from two people, but there were plenty of other folk at the lineside. Wasn't there anyone else who posts here?

 

Just one from me …. Crossing the KE Bridge into Newcastle.



Cheers

A little birdie told me that VT would really like to be offered some pics of their tours for use in their brochures.

A tour over Settle and Carlisle and Shap with Clun Castle has been added within recent days.

 

Sorry when for I can only see the September 24th trip that has been on there for a while.

 

It was just added on railway herald page

 

Sorry

 

An innocent mistake maybe?

 

Had not seen it on VT website

 

Mike I wouldn’t worry about it mate, it’s not the biggest of deals.

 

7752 Last Steaming:

 

Footage of D400 thundering past Helwith Bridge heading the Cumbrian Mountaineer from Tyseley to Carlisle this afternoon.

 

Sadly the return was not as trouble free as the loco lost coolant on the climb from Carlisle and was stopped near Dent whilst the coolant was topped up and then pulled into Blea Moor loop for an inspection and to allow the following unit to overtake.Happily the return was trouble free after that and some lateness was regained but the return to Tyseley was over an hour late.
