    That's good news, it's the best part of 5 years since that quill shaft failed.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    I was on Wigan NW on Saturday 24th Sep and saw D9000/55022 being heavily pushed by 47805. Was there a problem with the Deltic or do diesel charters suffer the same interference as the steam ones?

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    The test runs and the tour itself was only done on one engine , presumably the other is not quite ready

    a separate thread suggests to other tours are now off and further work is needed to complete 55022 . Visit to Barrow Hill on the cards

    Understand the Seven Valley Deltic (and presumably Delictive Deviation) is cancelled, due to more work being required to make the loco robust enough to do railtours.
