    It left Sheringham as 37+POB+76084, so would be leading out of Cromer.

    0850 off Sheringham and 2200 into Carnforth, that's a bloody long day out!

    Recently posted on "The Works " forum that an OTMR fault was discovered yesterday during the fitness to run exam.
    Should run tomorrow.

    Cheers, Neil

    good to see a std 4 2-6-0 back out on the mainline, is 76079 still mainline registered since it was purchased by NYMR, ? or does it now not have the full mainline equipment so only can be used on Whitby workings, ?

    Still no Tyseley - Kidderminster path, cutting it somewhat fine considering it's supposed to be in SVR traffic tomorrow.

    There is a chance it will run without a published path, just keep to yesterdays times. This would be an anti trespass tactic

    I think it is limited to the Esk Valley Line nowadays.

    And something's on the move, albeit just dealing with the shunting about at Carnforth so far. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P92109/2016/09/20/advanced

    Assuming she did all of Cromer to Carnforth that's one hell of a light test run - I would assume that a POB and a dead 37 is equivalent to a few coaches anyway.

    Just seen Flying Scotsman heading through Moor Street. Bit of a surprise as I hadn't even noted that it was doing that trip today! Looked very fine indeed.
