    Any idea why the first one appears to start tender-first to Preston instead of going more directly to the WCML?
    The second seems unlikely: two posts on the FS thread said

    That's a bloody strange route via Preston and rather brave taking a locomotive fresh out of the box down a big lump of the WCML in pretty peak hours. I assume she will have some sort of minder with her (or if not even bloody braver).

    Presumably because FS is smokebox first when leaving ELR / entering Castleton hence tender first between Castleton and Preston after reversal where reversal (again) makes it smokebox first heading south

    "fresh out of the box" feels a weird way to describe an engine that'll be 100 years old (well, parts of her will anyway) next year.

    One can hardly say that the box is still in original condition! Let's hope they have given the new piston rings a thorough workout after all the deniers here earlier on this year were saying that the loco's beat was fine.

    Saw that on the Crewe webcam. It's a measure of the confidence Ian Riley has in his business that they're sending her onto the mainline fresh from overhaul without a diesel for back up.

    Is the move of 76017 from the MHR to the Bluebell still happening today or is there a problem?
    A note has appeared on RTT next to the STP schedule: "Cancelled from WTT today". https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U66172/2022-10-13/detailed
    There is also a VST schedule from the MHR to EG which is identical to the STP schedule. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:87013/2022-10-13/detailed
    No activity on the diesel move from Southall down to Alton yet either. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U66171/2022-10-13/detailed

    Edit: Diesel move now operating 30 minutes late.

    The STP path is mistakenly? for a light locomotive 0Z35 and appears to have been replaced by the correct 5Z35.

    Gutted to miss 76017 on the Main Line today. Had other commitments at the same time as the move. Does anyone know when she is returning to the MHR after the Bluebell Gala? Can't find anything in RTT yet?

    Always nice to see a pocket rocket on the mainline.

    So presumably the only reason more locomotives dont move between rail connected heritage railways this way is cost ?
