27th November Shropshire Monarch with 6024

Am wondering what the weather will be like in Shropshire when the train leaves. Current forecast is 'interesting'.

 

Am hoping that the leaves have been shed.

 

Times are now posted on UK Steam.

Freudian leaves causing a Freudian slip resulting in assistance from a Freudian shed - I hope not!

 

Freudian shed? Wasn't that 38C in the Ian Allen shed book?

 

Hoping to head out for this one. Anyone know of a good spot between Craven Arms and Church Stretton? Personally I think photographic conditions maybe near perfect for this one with a good chance of some nice steam effects, though maybe not for us photters if it's running late!

 

Dr Sigmund Freud to numerous Nat Pres patients: "So tell me about your dislike of diesels, does it go back to your childhood?"

"Is a diesel a sympbol of the phallus? "

"You say it is a symbol of violation and impurity?"

 

Long time since I've filmed on this line so these spots may be no longer relevant. A public footpath crosses the line near Wistanstow and Marshbrook used to be a popular spot. A footpath crosses the line almost opposite Stokesay Castle, I got a long video shot of 'Britannia' there in the 90's but again the vegetation may have taken over

 

I wonder why there's a 24 minute stop at Abergavenny, yet only a 15 minute water stop at Hereford?

 

Passenger pick up station...

0705 Milford Haven to Manchester booked to overtake.

Can't wait to see 6024

Many thanks Austin, Marshbrook was at top of my list but vegetation could be an issue as its a long time since ive been through there. Stokesay is a good alternative as last time I was there it was still fairly clear but even in that time things could have changed!

 

I would love to see snow on saturday run i always wanted a few picture's of the king in snow;
even if we don't get the snow i hope you all enjoy the run behind the king;

all the best

Just sent you a PM Jane.

 

Had a good fall of snow here today, not sure it went too far east but certainly will have affected SE Wales, south of Hereford & Newport to Abergavenny area. Forecast looks good for tomorrow mind.

 

Does anyone know what platform she'll be arriving in at Shrewsbury?

Cheers,
Lewis
