    Video taken at Devonport and Hemerdon. The second clip of three is from a mobile phone and not up to standard, but I've included it anyway.

    Does anyone have any information regarding the Chester to Carnforth and Carnforth to Chester moves are tomorrow morning.
    They are both due to pass through alancaster between 0520 and 0525.

    Might have to get up early to see what runs through

    I believe that Chester to 10A is Eddystone and 10A to Chester will be Clangmere.

    I believe so, but we will find out for definite tomorrow. I assume that if it is repaired it will still have to have an FTR today. If not, then 45407 will have to deputise.

    A poster on the WNXX Forum has said: "Nothing in steam at Steamtown on Sunday at 19.50, so presume no Tangmere. Dunno what will happen on Monday".
    Perhaps Eddystone will haul the Chester to Carlisle section?
