    44871 seems to be the engine of choice to lead these day. This might be one of the best runs over Shap + S&C this year.
    It shall be interesting whether the A4 or the 5 this coming Saturday. That 86259 is a darn cool engine as well.

    Thanks Phil, nice to meet, if only briefly. I see you made it upto Shap Wells, cracking shot. I wish i had taken the vid as well, you could hear it at Docker for about 5 mins before we could see it.

    Many thanks all, much appreciated. Bring on next weekend :)

    Incidentally, it seems from the times for the next few runs that water is not taken again after Appleby. It's quite a distance to Farington Jcn. from there, especially considering that Green Arrow ran out of water in Dentdale when trying to reach Garsdale from Preston once.

    If you go into the cameraman's YouTube a/c there's about a dozen clips of this run. Can you identify the driver - he doesn't sit down once on the clips I watched, total concentration on the road ahead.

    Albert Seymour drove 44871 and Kevin Treeby, 5407 northbound and Gordon was, as has been said on 44871 southbound, I've seen a photo from Carlisle station, but cannot find it now, but it looks like Mick Kelly was 'conducting' Mr Riley on 5407...
