    Real shame. I think it was expected that 70000 was the Crewe locomotive heading down to Southall next week in preparation for it's booked railtours this Christmas. Hope it'll be fixed in time to still pull it's intended trips

    Jacobite ECS due back south today.

    Will it run, given Storm Boelo?

    Path has been activated but no movement reported on TRUST yet.

    No ScotRail service at all on the WHL today, and virtually nothing running on the WCML.

    Blanket Speed Restriction of 50MPH on all Scottish Routes from 2100 yesterday to 1900 today. Several more restrictive for certain routes, including much of the WHL of 40mph or less. Numerous route closures, including currently around Craigendoran due to high water levels.

    In all combined, won't be surprised if the Black 5's were told to stay on shed today. Due to lack of infrastructure or diversionary routes, not the best sort of locomotives to have stranded out in this weather.

    As expected, but it may take a day or two to create a new weekday path back to Carnforth.

    Cheers, Neil
