Is anyone on this tour?

 

If anyone is tracking tour or on it, could they contact me,.

 

Suggest read earlier posts! Me for one, but not only me.

I will be out for this tomorrow if all goes to plan though the weather forecast isn't very good for the morning. I may see some of you about.

Passed through Dove Holes earlier in fine style good to time and later seen shunting out of Buxton station. Can anyone help me with the drivers and firemen? I caught a glimpse of Mick Rawlings driving the Jubilee but would like to know the others for my records. Thanks.

 

I saw this at Astley crossing and then at Furness Vale where it was held for a signal check just before the station. It was running a few minutes late at Astley and then 44871 was attached at Eccles instead of Man Vic. It departed on time from Man Vic according to the update I recieved from the Railtours live system.

I have uploaded a couple of photos here from this morning, record shots, the light was pretty awful and I had to shoot at 800 ISO.

Any photo's to give us clue?

Mr Riley, from what I understand was on first on 44871 with it either being Chris Birmingham or Rob Hawkins on the second half.

 

Sheffield 15:58,30 late.

 

Now in Brightside for water.

 

Black cloud and raining here in the calder valley. Looks like a station shot as it will be dark by the time it passes here. Oh well!
