Shakespeare Express 2010

It's 4965 again this week.

 

Is it planned to be the normal route this week? ie. out via north warks and return via solihull.

 

Rood Ashton heading down the North Warwick as normal this morning, Ray Churchill on the regulator & Bob Meanley on the shovel.

4965 passing Shrewley earlier so back to the normal route this week.

 

Nice one Matt. Hope you enjoyed your day out on the Midlander. Thanks for the emails letting us know where the train was!

My efforts today were on the single branch line for a change.

Bob is real working hard this weekend he was fireing from new street yesterday

 

And for those of you who can't get enough of her it's 4965 again next week.
She put in another fine performance today, ably assisted by Messrs Churchill, B.Meanley and A.Meanly.

 

Because after the Midlander the stock is now a different way round from normal, will it be turned? And if so how will it be done?

 

Probably by some shunting at Tyseley

 

Given the size of the yard at Tyseley. you wouldn't believe the amount of moves it takes to turn a train.
Just really pleased that I'm off for the next couple of weeks.:

 

Assisted by Guard P. Allison of Stourbridge Shed next Sunday!

I doubt it. Given the amount of work she seems to have in the South West over that period.

 

It's on thier website so they must be.

 

Added a couple more pics from today with 4965 doing the honours: http://david1984.fotopic.net/c1868022.html

 

Where is Nunney now?

Just found out its already back at Tyseley!!

 

We made our way back there after the Cathedrals to Worcester on July 1st.

 

Just to save all of you salivating at the thought of 5029 working The Shakespeare on the 8th............. Change of plan.............We will not be doing this trip now!

Sorry.
