Pathfinder Cumbrian Fells Express: 03/09/22

The following (or not) Avanti is canx from Euston but there are others heading our way so I guess they may loop us somewhere. Just leaving Oxenholme 12:13.

 

left Oxenholme 12:14

 

I suspect Grayrigg as there’s an express right behind you.

 

Into Grayrigg loop 12:27

 

Just going in the loop now. I hadn’t scrolled down enough to see the Eus-Glas was under a different reporting number.

 

Should have looped it at Tebay so the 57 can go in maximum attack mode !

 

In Grayrigg loop. Just a slapdash visit to Carlisle I think!

 

Four minutes made up from Tebay to Shap

 

No thought either for the person suffering the medical emergency Ralph!!

 

Boarding at Carlisle now. Whole train turned on the triangle. Understandable given the lack of time available.

 

Post #49 was specifically responding to post #48. The medical emergency is a separate matter. Why complain about Ralph not expressing concern about the sick person when no-one else on this thread has?

 

Expected to pass through Oxenholme station, but passenger on the train became unwell and the train called at the station for medical assistance. While the train was waiting the loco received some attention from the fitters, given the steam leak on departure it was not a success.
Fortunately for the passenger who needed medical assistance the ambulance arrive quickly. As I was waiting for the bus back to Kendal the ambulance departed, still showing blue lights so hopefully that's a good sign.

 

Looked like they were fiddling with the airpump, not sure about any leak wasn't that just the cocks open on the inside cylinder?

One would imagine with an unexpected stop at Oxenholme plus a looping further up they would be pretty pleased they had a diesel in the consist?

Under threatening skies No. 34067 'Tangmere' approaches the old Shap Station site with the northbound 'Cumbrian Fells Express' with David Blair driving and Martyn Soames firing both north and south



Showtime at Kirkby Stephen

 

I think Shep wasn’t talking about Ralph not mentioning the emergency but Liam’s post not asking about the well-being of said passenger rather than the time made up due to assistance from the 57 well that’s how I read it anyway

 

34067 at Salterwath and Aisgill . I hope the passenger taken ill is ok .

 

I thought so Ralph
