    I think you can safely convert 'may' to 'will'. Question is, will it be a blue sky day? The last week has been overcast. Odds against the spectacular sunset photo of Ribblehead being repeated, but we live in hope.

    Sorry folks just realised belle1 must have meant snowing on the day not snow on the ground.

    Does this affect the CME on Saturday ?, my understanding of the network around Manchester is somewhat basic.

    I was thinking of this earlier. It could wittle down to the Steam moving to Preston on Friday to meet the ECS early Saturday morning, and then just run Bolton - Carlisle - Bolton perhaps? To the timings already published, just without the Manchester sections.

    A second far more elaborate idea would be to leave Manchester Victoria towards Castleton and head up to Keighley, then up onto the S&C and do the Long Drag in both directions? Would that even be plausible for a single day tour?

    Jonathon. That still leaves getting all the Manchester passengers to Bolton, not an impossability by any means but with only two days to organise it. However the changes will require a lot of cooperation from NR.
    The Keighley route is I think rather a long way round for the double journey.

    Can't steam run from Victoria via Salford to Bolton, why would it need to go via Ordsall lane ?

    Isn't that the "common crossing"? I always thought that, at least in British usage, "frog" was a model railway term, not a prototype one.

    Not so fast...
    In The Engineer dated 1898 (I think it was around April) there was a description of a point locking mechanism and it used the word Frog to indicate the crossing.
    I shall try and find it again and scan a copy.
    Frog has been used for a long time to describe that part of the point and not just for models.
