Sounds like Riley's have got her fixed then, just been looking at RTT, how come it takes nearly 2 hours to do what I assume is a turning move for 35018 at York?

 

Without looking at the individual timings pathing through Holgate Jn and York station. Remeber that the train planners will have to assume that all WTT paths are required and the freight "Q" paths will only be activated or cancelled at maybe 3 or 4 days notice, after the steam STP schedule has been written.

Cheers, Neil

 

Here's my pic of 35018 on it's way to York this evening. She looks absolutely stunning.

Apologies if I’m being thick but can’t make head nor tale of your comment .Sorry just noticed what it means

 

that does look good

 

Nice shot Mark!

 

Cheers John

 

Hoping to catch her somewhere on the S and C tomorrow...fingers crossed!

 

Might see you then John

 

Only a 50% success rate filming today with the late running/diversion and standstill traffic on the A1... but lovely weather! Went to catch the light movement of 35018 as well looking great in the setting sun! (Phone shot)
