    Pity the poor passengers on the 08.44 from Whitby, delayed by 52 mins on account of a "late running freight train":(. Those Northern people just cannot run a train service to time;).

    I wonder if the King will be allowed the opportunity to drive 60103 ? His collection of "driven" traction must be quite impressive by now as it already includes 46233, 60163 and 70000 !

    In his position would you not make it clear that at some stage you wish to be at the controls? :)

    How fortunate that the steam ban has been lifted, just in the nick of time...

    I thought the same - I look forward to steam reappearing on the NYMR roster for us mere mortals from tomorrow.

    I'm surprised this thread was permitted, as anything to do with FS is usually shut down instantly.

    Funny, I've just had a bus driver - upon seeing my t-shirt and remarking he has the exact same one! - ask me about 60103 heading south on Friday?

    I have seen a '5Z' working that day but will leave it to others to find.
