    Fairly close to timings this morning at Welwyn North.
    Unlike 70013 last week it appears not to have been held at Digswell Junc. to allow a service train to pass.

    About 7 mins early passing moor lane bridge in York. It took me by surprise, thank goodness for the curve there as well as the open field.

    I wonder what the second coach was for? Maybe for the day the train is split, was it a buffet?

    The Great Britain V - 2012?

    Quick question and a long shot at this. But perhaps James or Nigel may come across the forum tonight and help with this, but does anybody know which way the Black 5 and K4 are facing on their respective runs? Been hearing 45305 may be smokebox first out of Kyle.

    Thanks in advance

    Re: The Great Britain V - 2012?

    More questions, as 70013 did not water at Tyne Yard did this take place in Newcastle Central Station or Heaton? I presume she also dropped the 47 at the same location?

    Looks like a second support coach Ralph as WC have one with roller doors built into it.

    48151 hauled 2 support coaches down this part of the country last year.
