    Respectable 44 over the summit of Shap (11 + BoB is a fair load for a 47 to have in front of it.......)

    It's going to be difficult to get turned and serviced in the time available so every minute gained is a help.

    No doubt the 47 pushing like mad as if not it would be a record power output for a Bulleid light pacific

    Id say with the TPE that’s due in to Carlisle at 1347 pushing up behind, they needed the shove.

    Plus as Ralph says, much needed to get some vital servicing time at Carlisle

    The 47 wasn’t doing that much on the last mile or so to the summit at Shap on the 1 in 75 .

    Speaking for myself, apart from the lack of opening windows, another reason I dislike the air conditioned Mk 2 carriages, is the reduced size of the windows compared to Mk 1 and the earlier Mk 2 variants.

    Basically, I am never going to book on any steam railtour using aircon stock. It’s as simple as that!

    I suspect at some point the MK1 to MK2 progress will happen. It’s bound to. It’s just changing times.

    With you there. The higher windows in the god awful Air Con Mk2s make sighting mileposts way more difficult, though again we're very much in the minority. Fingers still crossed that the ORR will agree a program of CDL fitting with WCR otherwise we're going to be restricted to travelling on the few Vintage Trains Tours that will run unassisted.

    Just out of interest, from anyone on the tour, could you hear anything of the steam loco working at all?

    True Don; but we'd rather be able to spend the money doing what we love. The younger generation were brought up travelling in coffins so there's no difference for them. Joy go with them. For us the trains aren't even worth photographing.

    Just think, if the 47 wasn't on the back, 34067 may well have gone over the top at 50+.

    The only thing we can hear from the middle of the 3rd coach is the whistle (and see the steam / smoke). To be honest I'm not sure we would have heard much from Tangmere in a MkI once on the move.

    That's a good point, Bulleids tend to be pretty quiet, but not to be able to hear the "Jubilee roar" would, for me anyway, make it not worth buying a ticket. I'm just thankful for the several great trips (nearly all unassisted) in 2022/3 which I've enjoyed so much.

    Sounded superb at Kirkby Stephen :)

    WCR have taken some stick the past few weeks (Including from me!) but they’ve done a brilliant job of ensuring the trips still run, and more to the point the people onboard seemed to be smiling plenty!
