I might have a little look -see at this one if I can drag myself out of bed early enough (day off).

 

I believe this move may have been postponed. 70013 now going to Crewe (for tyre turning ?)

 

Thanks for that

I wonder if they will use the same path as far as Crewe (would make sense?).

 

Thanks Ralph

 

Heard it could happen on Thursday! Got no times or route.

well it left carnforth at 8.33 behind a voyager about on time.

 

Definately about 15mins early past Woodacre. Maybe they gave her the road through Lancaster?

Pic here in not so great light - but deflectors doing a good job !

thanks AN, as I hadn't seen or heard it on sat night, thought it might have gone to crewe, turned out it wasn't going direct to southall.

and 60017, I see you managed to drag yourself out of your pit as well. nice pic by the way, the smoke deflectors dont work so well at slow speed, ref vid clip.
