Nice Bank Holiday movement with the sun in the right place for latter part; anyone out for this ? Carnforth and Lancaster look good for me

I'll let you guess where I am! lol

 

Late shift tomorrow so I wont even get out to Astley crossing for this one.

 

Erm - 21 miles south of Lancaster I bet !

 

Anyone out for this up North ? Making progress as planned ?

 

The Black Fives were still in Joppa Sidings when we passed with No 9 at about 10.20.

 

Thankyou !

 

Err...Doncaster? but seriously, I'm in lancashire, and my favourite incline is just south of Lancaster station, possibly the steepest in the county, but as there are a lot of bends the time in view is short, so I may go just south of juction 33.

And yes a progress report from up north would be welcome.

 

oops, went for diner whilst writig last post,

Cheers Malc.

 

anyone up near Beatock or Carlisle seen two black fives recently?

 

Black 5s passed Carstairs East on time(1208)

Thanks Jack, I'll be off to Carnforth in a few minutes.

 

looks like a reath on the top lamp bracket

 

Anyone seen it at Carnforth or Lancaster care to update on the running? Since they don't appear to be stopping at Preston I imagine it'll be along the former platforms

 

it left carnforth 1740

 

they arrived at Carnforth 1735, I only just got to the platform, they went into the loop beside EWS, so I went to the bridge at crag end just as they set off, so no chance to get in front. Oh well , 62005 tomorrow.

I did get a bit of video though, be on you tube when I get around to it, just them disappering into the distance,holding cam above me head as I move to middle of bridge.

 

Too late for a time through Preston? Not going if there's a no-show? Lol

 

Correct.

I think it will be for Bernard Staite, pioneer of the mainline steam revival, passed away on Friday 10 April.

seen that on uksteaminfo

 

Timetabled stop at Carnforth didn't happen - as already posted. Here they are arriving there !
