    Not looking good especially with no Tangmere available for the GB tour plus nothing else I know of that’s air breaked at Carnforth.

    Did think about that to be honest but I suppose it’s down to both parties agreeing.

    Indeed, when I was at Southall last year the Duchess was looking very tired, I’m not sure how much it’s got left on its ticket. Carnforth badly need Lizzie back

    Currently minus wheels at Butterley.

    There's a dearth of class 7/8 air braked locos at the moment that aren't solely LSL operated. 35028 and 60163 both out for far longer than expected. 34067 unavailable. Still no sign of the Duke. No no. 9 any more. 6024 might appear at some point this year, depending on how things go at Crewe. Not an ideal situation.

    Believe the duchess has a few years. Last overhaul completed in 2018.

    Quote taken from Northern Belle website
    'An army of 6,000 navvies toiled in extremely harsh conditions during the late 19th century to hew this 73-mile wonder of engineering out of the rugged Yorkshire Dales and the Cumbrian Fells. And until the mid-1970s, steam-hauled expresses between London and Scotland like The Thames-Clyde Express and The Waverley still thundered over the route' !!!
