    Does anyone know if 4468 Mallard & 4771 Green Arrow left Barrow Hill on time? Or rather is it still running to time? I wouldn't mind seeing them as I just missed out on the original movement from the NRM to Barrow Hill last Wednesday.
    Thank you :)

    Does anybody have any idea if Tangmere is still up at Carnforth or if she snook darn sarf after last weeks CME?

    As the only LE move showing at the moment is for next Friday from Southall to Bristol.

    Tangmere definitely headed North through Preston station after last weeks CME (proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G-lKwG7REc) so presume it's still at Carnforth. Assuming there are no problems, after all we've heard nothing after the CME which was basically a loaded test run, I'd guess that rather than going from Southall it'll leave Carnforth to Bristol next Friday, rather than two LE's - that's what they did this time last year if I remember rightly. Just guess work though.

    NB Just looked at the rail tours page. Surely what would make sense is to double head day 7 of the Great Britain i.e. Cromwell & Tangmere, as that's going from Preston to Bristol & Cromwell is staying at Carnforth prior to its run on Friday. Also, they're both together double heading day 8 already anyway. Just common sense surely, much cheaper than 2 LE movements & no need to arrange the extra path for the LE down South. We'll see.

    Our question re. Tangmere has been answered - moving Thursday Carnforth to Bristol.

    Reported this morning on the radio apparently that 46115 is doing an olympic test today? Anyone know anything about this? I was told by my mate down south that he heard it on the way into college on the bus.
