    [ATTACH] There was a chance that had both engines kept to time they could have crossed in the Grayrigg area but unfortunately it wasn't to be so for a bit of fun perhaps the scene would have looked like this, a 'Southern Cross'

    If you study the timings for Winsford at the time that 44871 passed through, it is surely more than a coincidence that the fire started around that time. <BJ> Realtime Trains | Departures from Winsford around 1740 on 11/07/2026

    I was hoping to catch 7029 with the return Cathedrals Express this evening but, thanks to the signalling problems caused by a lineside fire near Acton Bridge, she was held at Huyton for around 2 hours. I did however catch a shot of her at...

  5. free2grice liked twr12's post in the thread RTC: Eddystone to York - 11/07/26.

    What has to be remembered, when moaning about the diesel doing most of the work, that the cross section of passengers on the train means that there is practically no option to cancel the train when Network Rail impose Red restrictions to steam...

  7. free2grice liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread RTC: End of Southern Steam - 9/07/26.

    I am rather suprised too that steam, even with any number of diesels, is allowed out on the main line today. Especially as the great heat was scheduled to move west today, with a 35 C temperature shown on the BBC weather map this morning for...

    If the class 33 is not required to run with the tour, timings for a light engine movement from Weymouth to Southall have appeared. The loco is routed via Castle Cary. Surely, it would have been preferable to follow the charter. Possibly a lack...

    There may be this evening. 33.025 is escorting Clan Line to Weymouth. A diesel could be positioned at the rear of the train and another behind the tender. Insurance while passing through the New Forest? <BJ

    Woking to Kingswear tour on Saturday expected to be diesel hauled throughout. A sensible decision. <BJ>

    35028 Clan Line has passed it's FTR examination. The tour will have diesel assistance due to the 'red' fire risk level. [BJ]
