    I think for some reason my posting was delayed, so I presume they changed it between when I looked and when I posted.

    Queried the running of the Mountaineer on the 11th today and they've confirmed what's obvious from the timings: there's a diesel on the rear all day.

    I see the tour tomorrow still has First Class seats available. Could be due to people expecting the now confirmed diesel presence, or perhaps the view any enthusiast tour will sell out is not correct.

    There would be far more enthusiast tours if they did all sell out. <BJ>

    Could be it falls between stools--- diesel on the back because of Wilpshire, dark from Appleby, back in Crewe too late for some connections. Maybe the S and C leg was a step too far comparing it with last year.
