    Agree - smashing shot at Capernwray Shep. Here's a short video a little further along the line:

    It looks like 45231 is running from Carnforth to Fort William on Friday 23rd - anyone any idea if this is light engine or with stock?

    If it follows previous pattern pm stock is air only mk2 coaches. 45231 is vac only I believe. Hence the monopoly of Riley locos on the pm Jacobite. Would guess next year 45212 will replace 45231 on the am trains as it is vac only too.
    Some stock was hired from srps as well last year.
    Probably strayed from the thread now. Jacobite 2014?

    There's three locos, surely they can share the workload.
