    34067 is cleared to Whitby. But I am aware of long standing concerns at NYMR as to pacific locos going round some of the curves on the Whitby line. Of course a WC has a different trailing truck to an A4!

    Belief is that both No. 45407 and 44871 are to remain at Fort William until end of season, returning with ECS on Sunday 25th.

    Information was given middle of last week, so who knows if that'll change before Friday. However, a path for the 25/10 movement is in the system.

    Also different to previous years in that steam doesn’t lead from Whitby it leads to Whitby

    The timings look like a decent day out from York but a bit of a mission from elsewhere. However 90 minutes at your destination barely gives you time for lunch!

    1Z67 as the starting train reporting number strongly suggests Tangmere. Not much else it could have been really I suppose?

    Don't need lunch when you've had two hours to have breakfast in York!
