Dalesman 2017 from York or Chester to Carlisle

That video shows two heads sticking out at one point, one in the support coach and one near the back. Opinions please on the sanity of the one who can be seen at about the 46 second point not merely sticking his head out but holding what appears to be a notebook computer?

 

I agree, "notebook man" is a prize idiot with not just his head but shoulders also out of the window,and man in support coach should,of all people, know better. These things are a real shame as my very recent experience of both RTC and Tornado trips has been that people have been very good about obeying the rules. If people don't comply, presumably it will be "you will stay in your seat", VT style on all trips?

I note on another forum that on last weekend's Class 40 diesel trip, at least 1 person had to be ejected from the train for persistent window-hanging after a warning.

 

Maybe that should be widely publicised, to demonstrate that the threat to eject offenders is not empty words.

 

Yes "notebook man" is a prize idiot but I suspect that he was a member of the public rather than an enthusiast who would probably have more specialist equipment. From my experience stewarding, non enthusiasts who have been told but keep doing it anyway are often the worse offenders. Trouble is they are most of the market these days. Of course there is still the occasional enthusiast, two white areas where the goggles have been, who claims that they have only been "standing by the window" and unless you see them you can not prove anything else. They all of course run the risk of spoiling it for everyone.

 

I take it folk can't film from a droplight with the camera out of the window then as a lot still seem to do said or am I wrong in saying that .

Suggests the 8F may not have been turned (yet), but can't see anything else on RTT to suggest anything coming from Carnforth.

May be looking into it too much, but could suggest a problem / delay.

 

1Z46 Showing as at Platform Ian so looks ok to go .

 

Looks good to go yes, but is the 8F on the front? We shall see soon no doubt. It's probably me (or the person who highlighted it to me) over thinking it!

 

Bloomin heck I can run faster than that,Well I could 10 years ago lol

 

8F unassisted on the return as expected.

 

Seems to have lost a lot of time as it was 17 late at Kirkby Thore signal box according to realtime Ian .

 

Yeh, it wasn't 2 late at Low House either as RTT says. More like 6 to 8 late. Sounds like it's taking it easy. Seemed to be going well at Armathwaite.

 

one here for u

48151 may not be well as been told it stopped at Kirkby Stephen station for some reason or other .

 

Cheers thats a crackin video cant beat an A4

 

It did - I saw it on the webcam - and it seems to have lost time all the way. 55 late into Hellifield loop.
