    Latest Beano 'Down Main' states the timetabled Jacobite paths have to be used at least once in some form every 90 day period.
    Possibly related move or preparatory in anticipation of the 2026 season commencing?

    Forgive my confusion. So both Black Fives are going up to Scotland this Saturday? I'm a bit confused seeing as bookings for the Jacobite still aren't open so I doubt the CDL issue is fixed. Seems a bit odd to have the Black Fives potentially without work when there's multiple RTC railtours upcoming that won't have an available loco to pull them if they are in Scotland.
