    Pathing was probably an issue at such short notice. Still, let's hope all goes well.

    And you seriously think it's that easy to do just like that?

    I noticed that, I wonder why it's not been resolved? Not a major issue but still, although she's still running on this trip today thankfully for those on board.

    But it's not the Royal Train is it, clearly a rediculous thing to say under the circumstances of this trip but carry on with your more important stuff!

    Any steam on the Mainline is worth getting out of bed for.

    An A4 on the up main is always worth getting out of bed for. Lovely light. A couple of pints down the Peel afterwards? :)

    Out of interest what locomotive took over from number 7?
    Does anyone know if it is still at Heaton or if it has gone back to NYMR?
