    Hopefully not, booked on the fast from Crewe to Tamworth, so could be a spirited run.

    I wonder what happened to 71000?
    The DoG website says that they are hoping to have 71000 back in action by the middle of December after the repairs.

    An exhaust free passage over Dutton Viaduct, hopes were high seeing all the ground frost around but it seemed to warm quickly in the sun.

    I stayed in Crewe last night after The Cumbrian Mountaineer. Shortly before I left my hotel room this morning I was surprised to hear chuffs. I just caught a glimpse of Britannia, so I am glad to see some pics here of that as well as yesterday's trip.

    5Z32 Carnforth - Tyseley in the system on Wednesday 18th Nov. 60mph steam path.

    Completely speculating here - 44932 (or a shed mate) off to help out with the Birmingham Polar Expresses? (which begin on Sunday 22nd).
