    I feel the same way about the situation as you but will travel as usual, as meeting up with friends made over the years and some unusual routes will still make for a good time.
    Obviously more choice of loco’s and mark 1’s would be better but with the current situation I am just glad that the trip is going ahead at all, as I have been fearing cancellation for some time.

    Yes, the GB tours do have a 'club car' feel to them and that won't be lost. But it remains quite an intensive programme for a limited number of locomotives so let's hope all goes to plan and it doesn't take too much out of the motive power and the maintenance teams.

    I was just thinking that this morning about relying on such a small pool of locos. I’m still waiting for the final details to arrive in the post, and just hope the stock provided is of adequate quality. This is my first GB (and actually my first railtour in 40 years), and having seen it from the lineside on many occasions I am very disappointed to miss out on the MK1s. That said I am looking forward to the Cumbrian coast, Central Wales, and Highland main lines

    Need to cross fingers hard for the Cumbrian Coast given events at Grange-over-Sands. Two of the highlights of my short career on the charters were the days on the GB in 2019 from Ayr to Stranraer and then over the GSW to Carlisle. In terms of itinerary, this looks the best trip since then. So I wish you guys all the very best for as good a trip as possible

    I believe they aren’t targeted to reopen G-o-S until 19th April so I assume GB will divert. Lancaster to Carlisle via S&C perhaps?

    EDIT - Although Steve has just posted the times for going via G-o-S so maybe it’ll open early?

    Apologies, I didn't see the above post. Was unsure whether 44932 was air braked or not. Thank you both

    And as far as air braked locomotives are concerned Carnforth has none that they fitted themselves, I believe. The 5s are Riley's and Tangmere was bought by Carnforth already fitted. Their opportunity was BIL and they decided not to do it.

    The bridge near Workington has been open for a few days, the issue with the route is the closure of the line due to the Arnside derailment.

    The article goes on to state "The route between Barrow-in Furness and Lancaster is expected to be closed for two weeks after a train derailed near Grange-over-Sands."

    Surely double headed Fives over the S&C would be preferable? Granted, if its a clear weather day, the coast would be ideal.
