    Is it likely to be I/C stock again?

    Thanks for that. Railway Herald says the train is the class 40's TNT, but that may be a reference to the class 47 on the back.

    Believe the plan is D345 leading D213, with a 47 on the rear. The return starts from a bay platform at Edinburgh before heading round the sub, so it'll need a loco to drag it back in from Craigentinny.

    That's my understanding from a CFPS email to members.

    Sounds like you viewed a different tour. This is via the WCML and is class 40s on the front

    Traksy was showing the line blocked at Grayrigg loop and TPE went into the loop around whatever the problem was .

    Pity that the passengers are unlikely to be able to hear that sound.

    There's been a track fault for a couple of weeks, everything is going via the loop.
