    According to the 5305 Locomotive Society website 70013 shall be repeating the performance of yesterday on March 31st. First, Shap and then Settle and Carlisle. With Ollies trip over Beattock and Shap on the March 24th steam in the Northern Fells shall be 9/10 trips on Saturdays January 28-March 31st. Hard to believe.

    Many thanks Bryan - it always makes it easier when they're being driven like that.

    Many thanks for the positive words they are very much appreciated.

    Ralph I took the laptop with me on Saturday so I did the editing at Shap Wells and also found I had a full strength signal from the dongle so I uploaded from there to youtube.

    Cheers Phil.

    I had an enjoyable trip on Saturday. Thanks to RTC, West Coast and the support crew.

    Heating was working well ( Coach H ), almost too well but stewards were turning off when necessary.

    Many enjoyable video's and photos posted. I selection of my photo's can be found on my Zenfolio site.

    Does anybody know who the Driver was on the return was ?
