Winter CME's, February 2012.

I think we have to take it based on evidence at this point..

UKSteam, Open Traintimes and RTC all say the same ..

Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express

So looks 11th is on the original route (from Preston via S&C), but the other two are not ? (RTC's page notes that times are only for the 4th and 11th).

 

To clarify - Open Train Times are still showing northbound via the S&C and southbound via Shap (which is acually down S&C up Shap, in railway parlance), but as has been discussed previously - just because those are the times currentlly "in the system", it doesn't mean the train will definitely go that way.

 

our ticket's say's up s&c and down shap;
all the best

Does anyone have plans to get more of 86259 on video this weekend?

 

Just to confirm that 70013 has run from Carnforth to Preston this morning (11th) to work the CME via Settle and Shap.

wow what run we are having at appleby taking water now the view's are great you go from snow to fog back to clear fields sounds like we are off again ; the chicken and ham stew with new potatoes went down well glad they cooked to much in dinning and us in the cattle class got to buy them up great;

 

Ohh I would have eaten that last week but sadly was stuck with the sandwiches I brought I long. Glad your having a great run.

Hope you enjoy.

 

Lovely video there Phil, especially the last sequence at Helwith Bridge.

Ralph, does the video look odd when you view it on YouTube? When I look it appears to be showing foreshortened like viewing 16:9 in 4:3. If it looks wrong to you as well, you might be able to fix it by adding yt:stretch=16:9 to the tags box on YouTube.
