    I've read on Scarborough Spa thread that Galatea failed with a flat battery. Does anyone know if it and Leander are still due back over Copy Pit today ( Sunday)? Were they due to bring carriages back or just support coaches?

    I wonder if the day will come when we get that combination on a charter. The Tin Bath comes to mind. You could fill 11 or 12 coaches with those two I would guess.

    Here's my effort at Copy Pit.
    Phil, was it you I almost run over in the lay-by across the road?

    I think so Alan I must pay more attention whilst walking on the road!! Thankfully I got down behind the wall in your picture and only the microphone is visible.

    GB tour next year has them paired over the route but eastbound.
    The Tin Bath has established motive power which everybody seems happy to keep repeating plus the Jubs may not be gauged for parts of the route. Why change?

    Apologies if I put the wind up you. :eek: Just to confirm it was you I'll send a couple of stills from my dashcam in a PM.
    Microphone? Is that the big grey thing you had in your arms? I thought it was a sheep you'd rescued!;)

    Jubilees 45690 & 45699 breeze through Mirfield this lunchtime on the York-Carnforth LE move.
