You were up early Neil.................... you don't sleep in that station do you? :lol:

Here's the mighty Deltic at Wakefield.

 

Thanks for sharing. IMHO Deltics are the only diesels worth getting excited over.

 

Some nice light there. Definitely worth getting up early for.

 

When are we going to get a railtour with a Deltic tfrom KX-York and an A4 back to KX?

 

At mirfield now and it still ain't here !

 

Post back when it does pass Mirfield... I waited 20 mins or so then got fed up (well the wife and baby did anyway!). At least it didn't come just after I left!

 

Well it's came just after 10:10 or there abouts the deltic was been dragged on the rear so not sure what had happend !
kind if glad it was late as we saw LMS Class 5MT 4-6-0 no 44871 + coach at about 9:45.

 

Nah, just live up the road, so got up bit earlier to get down in time (06:45) wouldn't do it for any other Diesel, 40145 bit later next Sunday, no confirmed times yet

Caught 22 at Culham - boy, did she sound good

I was on it, we were running late from KX, 2 platforms were under repair, and then a 91 set failed (the driver was poiting to the pantograph), so we waited for a free platform. Running 30 odd minutes late at Doncatser, we heard there was a power failure in the Wakefield area, that meant us going to Leeds and reversing - which is why 22 ended up at the rear for the last leg, nothing wrong with her. Getting on for an hour late when we got back to Stalybridge for a pint.

Plenty of high speed running on the ECML, both engines bellowing.

 

Oh dear sorry to hear it was being towed on the back... hopefully nothing too serious. From all other accounts sounds like it was a very good trip!

 

Ah good! glad that its wasnt a failure

Video now available - turn the volume up to 11

IIRC, the owners of the HMPS and 'Capital Deltic' boards got off at Wakefield on the way back, with the boards, they were in our coach.

Can anyone bring a headboard along?
