    No I do not currently volunteer
    The 5/6 minutes allowed at York, on the outward, to change locos is a bit optimistic.......

    I suspect the loco change will be at Milford Loop since the train is there for 36 minutes.

    I see that the steam loco is heading down from the NRM to Milford Loop where it takes over the tour, does that mean they will be using the Gascoigne Wood/Milford loop triangle to "turn"?

    Running about half an hour early "Scots Guardsman" near Kirkham Abbey on another dull and rainy day.

    Still sounds very asthmatic.
