Lune Rivers Trust: 27/09/25

I couldn't find a thread, apologies to the mods if there is one.

 

34067 Tangmere leaves Carlisle this afternoon with 13 on and 57314 on the back: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ravenglass/54815205586/in/datetaken-public/

 

Near Armathwaite

 

Looks like Tangmere and/or 37516 may have come off the back of the train in Carnforth loops and back into Steamtown?

Can confirm that 34067 and 80204 came off at Carnforth on the return. 37516 on the back to Lancaster, then led ECS home direct (not via Preston as booked).

 

34067 on Shap at Salterwath and then seemingly not working at all at Armathwaite on the return.

A trio of tours from the past couple of days.

The immaculate marron coach, no 5239, behind the Support vehicle looks to have both CDL and be non air con . Is this a WCR prototype for future mk1 conversions ? Can anyone proved any info?

 

Sister to 5229, which has also been CDL-fitted and is currently operating on the Jacobite. This was 5239's first run out in passenger service since CDL fitting earlier this year.

 

It's a Mk2a pressure ventilated carriage.

I believe that makes a total of 5 MK2 A-C coaches now fitted? 3 completed this year, 2 already done?

In the case of the one behind 34067 yesterday it was with 45212 on its ill-fated run to Scotland and never made it up there.

 

I think it is pressure ventilated rather than air conditioned therefore has opening top lights so you can hear the diesel pushing at the rear

Yes I meant A to C as in the MK2 A-C early coaches, not A/C as in air con

 

Here is 5239 a few weeks ago:

Phots and vids show that yesterday Tangmere was leaking steam from the right hand side around Shap, but not on the return from Carlisle.

As Rander has noted, 37516 was attached to Tangmere at Hellifield. It was removed at Carnforth before the tour's last leg to Lancaster.
