    Despite Network Rail's fire risk level having been reduced from "Black" to "Red" West Coast decided to remain innovative with today's Dalesman. Seen near Stainforth crossing/alongside/on the river Ribble.

    That's the second boat, the first had far more crammed on it, look like they both may have taken a wrong turn somewhere near Dover. :rolleyes:

    A passenger on Tuesdays Dalesman has sent WCR a very nice email full of praise for the pleasant journey and helpful staff. He did however miss the return from Carlisle and got on the next train, a TPE service. It's train manager could not have been more helpful saying that they would arrive in Preston shortly before we were due to leave and phoned ahead to make sure we would wait, which we did, so he continued his journey back to Chester with us. No fare was requested by the TP manager.

    Nice to hear, although I am sure a RPO would have had a different view. No ticket = fare evasion.

    Train Manager/Comductor overrides RPO anyway. So they’d have had no say.
