    There’s a slight weight difference though between the Mk1’s you mention there to the Pullmans being hauled today.

    14 coaches was certainly a surprise, but a welcomed one. Clan Line taking her heavy train through Cholsey, Shrivenham, Sapperton, Honeybourne & Culham:

    What does a Pullman weigh?
    The NR guidance doc I have from 2019 so may well have been revised says 11 Mk1's om leaf all season based on 33 tons for a Mk1 and a total train weight max of 468 ton.
    Guess as it is guidance can be ignored?
    Very impressive anyway.

    On average 40 tonnes each car, so 440t for Pullmans and about 110 t for support vehicles and generator car.
    In that case well over load for Sapperton in the up direction.

    Cheers, Neil

    It is indeed, I have been informed that from a standing start at Kemble it was doing 35mph at Sapperton Tunnel on the down journey. If you want to see another one like it 35025 needs donations. £1.5m would probably do it looking a the cost of restoring other Barry wrecks .

    Leaf fall is from 1st October, so has slipped in before.
    Guidance on load can be ignored so long as you can back it up - it can be a costly one to get wrong mind!
