Tickets arrived today, coach G, Std/buffet, someone at RTC must know Matt and I and want to save our legs the walk through a couple of coaches.. :whistle:

Be nice to see some of you about :thumb:

Neil.

 

Umm, not sure how to take that.. :suspicious:

 

2 years, how time flies by, I saw it, and I think, (I'm not sure), it was Mr. Andrew who showed how it should be done on the pull up to Morley Tunnel. :thumb: Always a decent show with steam and diesel, a good run at the hill and them bit between the teeth time. You can hear the Deltic all over the valley.

 

Well, I hope all you Nat Pressers have a lovely time

 

Confirmed, it was Bill Andrews.

 

47 failed so ECS still at Crewe. 57 sent from Limestreet to rescue stock. As of yet no times estimated for departure.

 

Confirmed. Class 57 reported past Halewood approx 11.22 heading for Crewe. Still no times for estimated departure.

 

Pretty ironic the diesel failing after all the recent troubles..............I wonder if it was bad derv. :lol:

 

Heard it was brake failure.

 

Tour passed Whiston 13.26, just under 3 hours late. My thanks to Belle1 and 8A Rail for the updates - Cheers Guys.

 

Any idea if it's still the intention to head for York?

 

As far as Ive heard, the Destination remains the same.

 

Cheers Phil. 3 hours behind, roughly. Lets see how much time can be made up?

 

Any word of it leaving Man Vic please.......?

 

Passed me at Rainhill at about half one and this is my video . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AONkkJTbLrI
