CME 2023

Yes its has worked several Northern Belles

 

Not so

 

True. Was told it was Mick but it's Steve Chipperfield.

 

Thanks. I'm a little out of touch with the UK rail scene these days.

 

Unlikely to find anyone to move the tamper during the day. There was a rail grinder in the adjacent siding so options for shifting stuff round were limited.

 

86401 has moved from Carnforth to Preston this afternoon.

 

Not so

 

35018 with the return CME - 07.10.23

 

I wondered who would cough up for any delay minutes that the use of a diesel rather than an electric may have caused. Would it be NR as a signalling (I guess) issue for having it there, or whoever operates the equipment, although that is probably on behalf of NR anyway. Or as the LE move ended up being cancelled does everyone say well there was no delay.

 

35018 at Shap Wells and Aisgill in blustery weather .

 

Going well in dire conditions. Good to see some proper squirrels too. Were they at the Shap car park?

 

Thanks Alan, yes it was near the Shap Wells carpark

 

At R&W sounds like BIL has slipped to a halt around the old Wilpshire station.

 

Glad to see the squirrels are still there. I thought they might have moved on after all those trees were felled.

 

On the move slowly but surely

 

Through Wilpshire 1825

 

Old station that is
