    Confirmed Itinerary & Timings

    I have the official WCR timings sheet in front of me as I type. The answer to your query would appear to be, NO it isn't going via Copy Pit ... on the second trip round the 'loop', that is! :doh:

    Incidentally, what is not stated on UKSteam.info is that the the ECS departs Carnforth at 07-19 as 5Z28 and 1Z28 departs from Preston's Platform 4 and returns to Platform 6 (as 1Z29). The return ECS (supposedly still with 46115 at the front) departs on the Sunday from Preston GL dep 17-06 Carnforth D&UGL arr 17-39. :confused1:
    The load, by the way, is '11-on'!:clap2:
    Let's but hope for some decent weather (again!) :smow:

    She didn't look or sound good at Culcheth, the loco was totally obscured by steam and moving at around 8 MPH or so. I will post a photo shortly.

    Neil.

    BTW, nice photo Phil.

    Failure is once again a shame for all the people who bought tickets, but I also feel for the owners and the organisers. WCR will have a huge bill to put Guardsman right but as always they will deliver. RTC will work with WCR to re-run but probably with a different loco. RTC are a very respectable operator and value their reputation highly. I'm sure that in the end, everyone will have a good outcome. As someone who has sat in a failed Pendolino on a number of occassions, I reckon we have to put this into perspective... mechanical things do break down, old and new.

    I agree the operators will bounce back and make the tour on a later date. I found RTC very professional in their operations. Guardsman will get the attention it needs it's a fantastic loco, just look back at last years performances.
