    Yes indeed - the driver would be hard pressed to do much without the fireman...

    He wasn't in the seat when it left Carnforth. Not sure what happened at Ais Gill but it wasn't mechanical or lack of steam. Must have lost brake pipe for some reason.

    Sounding great coming up to Ais Gill but then a sudden stop just before the road bridge, and before the signal came into view. Any idea what could have caused the halt ? - low water level in the boiler??

    I think Kevin Treeby was driving Carnforth-Carlisle. 54mph reported at Grayrigg - incredible.

    Not mechanical or steam issues. Suspect brake applied for some reason.

    What a fantastic video Austin. The sound as the A4 leaves Ais Gill is magical.

    Another clip coming up to Ais Gill and the stop. Taken from steps looking over the wall before someone queries the position.
