The Tall Ships 9.8.2010

The tour to Hartlepool for the visit of the Tall Ships is fully booked, RTC have a massive reserve waiting list. I enquired if a second train was possible. RTC tried to arrange one but it wasn't possible.

just got a last minute ticket for this, limited availability so any one else who wants a ticket better be quick.

Could see 5690 coming across the viaduct this morning from where I was and must say I was kicking myself with the sun! Good stuff.

 

It's a pity they didn't lash out on a headboard then.

 

Some video and pictures from this morning.

Another good tours enjoyment yet again spoiled by the whole train being turned. 37516 added for reversal at second york stop which provided assistant on outward but has remained idle of the return. At least some thrash was got on 47712 on additionals!

 

Just to add for those waiting we are currently being held at york due to a cable theft at leeds. No info on time of departure yet

 

Any reason as to why it hasn't left York yet?

 

Train caped at york due to cable theft at leeds

 

Thanks for that, was beginning to think something had happened between shipton and York...

 

Thanks for posting, saves me waiting at headingley in the dark!

 

Me too, thanks

 

How you all getting back? DMU?
