    Makes 44871 move south a waste of time and money as steam can still be used on the WHL

    Didn't realise it had come south. Presumably marooned at 10A until the black rating recedes to red?

    44871 is currently at the Crewe Heritage Centre having possibly caused a lineside fire on its way there this afternoon. The lineside fire has seriously delayed 7029's train from Liverpool back to Birmingham.

    You can have that argument with Network Rail Ralph who seemingly are pretty convinced, according to the information relayed to VT staff on the VERY heavily delayed train yesterday.
    WCML was completely shut for a number of hours, delay minutes will be colossal.

    @RalphW I believe official attribution is to 44871 so yes deemed Guilty until it can prove its innocence
