    You may be asking the wrong people on here then. Perhaps the TOC in question might help or a site like:

    If the rest of "What's going on" is a reliable guide, about a dozen keyboard warriors sounds likely ...

    I assume solo back down the coast, will have to be out with the 3 year old enthusiast to see if the whistle is sounded!

    She could definitely do Shap (and then probably Beattock) unassisted with that much hot air powering her.....

    Surely not if it's the usual 11? There are past history and familiarity with loco and route clauses that would surely apply to Guardsman?

    How do you know it will be diesel accompanied? It's not normal over Shap.

    But as mentioned many times in terms of power output a Jub is scarcely a class 6 whereas a Scot is virtually the equal of a class 8.

    Having abandoned the original plan due to the weather, here is a shot of 46115 speeding north through Lancaster at close to 75mph this morning.

    Amazed those two kids on the platform completely ignored it even when 46115 whistled, only realizing after it had gone past that it was 'different'!
