Cumbrian Mountain Express 21/7

Starter for this. Anyone else on it and any thoughts on haulage? Railway Herald has it booked for 70013.

On Uksteam it tays that the loco is TBC, although 70013 is probably the most likely, given that 45305 is at the GCR and 60009 is not yet completed.
It cold be 46233 though, as that is nearby at Tyseley, we'll just have to wait and see.

 

46233's back at west shed for the 1960's gala at the weekend.
Most likely to go to Crewe after that.

UK Steam now shows the route reversed with the Northbound over the S&C, but UK Railtours site still shows northbound over Shap. Anyone know why the change if it is changed?

John

 

Tickets received and route confirmed reversed. Loco also confirmed as 45305.

RTC are offering £25 off 28th July run via emails to past customers, yuo just have to quote GDT when booking, maybe bookings are slow at the moment.

Nice shot Dave. Is that from the bottom of the footbridge between Lostock Junc and Horwich Parkway? I've been there a couple of times but never early enough to get the light on that side.

 

No its from the platform at Horwich Parkway shooting under the road bridge its the section of line that runs behind EON and Keoghs solicitors

My effort today from Dandry Mire Viaduct.....the location seems to be a hit or miss regarding the engine working over the viaduct :

Great to see and hear 46233 singing in the hills today. Here's a quick shot of her on the return near Garstang (very much not in the hills )
