Lune River Trust tour Oct 2014

Delayed waiting for a path away from Carnforth and again at Lancaster. Dep Preston 62 late. Arrived Carlisle 38 late.

There have been serious problems at Carlisle this morning with the Tyne Valley blocked by flooding. Today is the first day of the annual East Coast diversions via Carlisle. So EC trains from Scotland have been terminating at Carlisle and going back to Scotland.

Tyne Valley now open again with single line working, so delays to East Coast services and buses replacing local trains Carlisle - Hexham.

Thought it was, just me passing on some info someone else had posted

(as they say don't shoot the messenger)

 

Some messengers deserve shooting.

Footage of 46115 at Ripley bank, Wilpshire and Selside Shaw.

 

Good locations, good filming. Many thanks.

 

Thanks to its late running I managed to get across to Garsdale from seeing Galatea on the West Coast Main Line to see 46115 pass through and, thankfully, the cloud started to clear.

Some windy footage of 46115 flying past Garsdale this morning, along with a shot of 45699 on the CME at Crosby Garrett.

Just for once the fragile Scot did the photographers a favour by running an hour late, had it been on time the weather was lousy.

Seen here at Lunds.........LINK.

 

Lovely light at Stockber, i was probably stood by you, didn't bother turning out in the morning due to the weather (though if i had checked and seen the trains were running late i would have gone!), well worth the drive when you get a result like that.

 

Thanks for the kind words as they are much appreciated . Steve

 

Classic location and a great shot, Stuart

 

Another excellent shot - great stuff

 

Video of 46115 lifting her train through Birkett Common and on towards the tunnel yesterday, 8 minutes after sunset. We didn't expect the sun to last but it certainly teased us, especially with the Scot being audible from somewhere around the Stockber area.

 

Dismal at Hoghton
But unexpectedly fine at Selside
