    I went on the Scarborough Spa Express yesterday Thursday 29th August
    Checking the progress, or lack of it at departure time 07:52, my worst fears were confirmed from various posts it had failed in Carnforth Yard, then over an hour later it was confirmed the problem was sorted and Tangmere was a runner.
    Anyone know what the problem was? i was told it was electrical of some sort
    Departed 78 minutes late from Carnforth i was getting on at Church Fenton where there was a water stop, more of that later!!
    checking times on RTT it missed out the Hellifield water stop, so now 45 minutes late, i crossed over to P2 at Church Fenton to get some photos of the water stop, as Tangmere approached it was going too fast for the scheduled water stop under the road bridge at Church Fenton and shot into the station for pick up only, i managed a few photos then got across the footbridge as fast as my knackered knees would let me and boarded, phew!!!, so now it had missed both water stops!!, diesel must have been doing all the work, nothing new there!! Pick up at York and finally arrived at Scarborough 7 minutes late on scheduled arrival time!!
