5972 Move to York - 2nd August 2010

Been informed that 5972 is to move Light Engine to York (NRM) on Monday. The NRM website seems to confirm this, although i've been given the following times:

But the NRM states that it'll arrive at dinner...

 

17:00 hrs has always been the start of 'dinner time' for me, lasting anywhere upto 19:00 hrs so that looks spot on to me

 

times on uksteam are close to that Simon, thanks.

 

Seems overhead wires probs are causing probs between skipton and leeds till 12 noon at least. hope steam is unaffected

 

Just about to post that Ben, as you say hopefully it won't cause too many problems.

 

Anyone seen any movement yet?

here's a video of it about a mile from carnforth:-

Thanks for the video, I see it says on the caption to go on display at the NRM so does that mean it's definately not going to be on the Scarborough Spa Express's then? The missus and I are visiting York in the first week of September and fancy another trip on the SSE, we had a stonking ride behind Cromwell last year, but I really don't fancy the prospect of Hogwarts Castle.

Cheers

 

Just posted a few pictures of it arriving and departing Hellifield with support coach

well according to the NRM web site:-

http://www.nrm.org.uk/PlanaVisit/Events/locomotivemoves.aspx

they have stated it will be on display for the summer.

 

Just noticed on the NRM's own web site and NRM Facebook that she is leaving the museum this coming Monday 15.11.2010.

 

Yep, now on uksteam loco movements as provisional.

 

Has anyone further news or times for this move please?

 

NRM say's it has left the main building and Maude has arrived at the triangle, didn't hear properly so missed the name of the triangle, as far as I know its not on its way yet.

 

It moved last Tuesday.

I passed it at 0815 on it's way south from York.
