Ok guys you seem to have been remarkably quiet on this this time, which engines are rostered for it this time?

We've all been working flat out on trackwork!!! But yeah still going ahead and it looks like Cochrane on the coal and 49 on passenger at the moment.

 

Hi

Will an outline passenger/freight timetable be available this time, as I remember from October the trains didn't seem to run to one.

Best Regards

 

Does anyone know if trackwork at Bowes Bridge will be finished for the Coal train day.

 

Are there any kind of lineside passes available for the Tanfield?

Thanks

 

Sorry guys we're not ignoring you! Theres a few of us up there today getting things prep'ed for Sunday, we'll give the Ops man a grilling on what the timetable situation is and which parts of the line are open. With regards to lineside passes, there are none, all we ask is that you contribute a little in the shop; perhaps a cup of tea and sandwich etc. Oh and remember guys, NO HI-VIS lol!

Should be back on tonight or tomorrow morning to let you know of the details.

 

Right guys, been up Tanfield today and it looks like the following is happening on Sunday.

An Andrews House - East Tanfield service for both the Coal Train and Passenger Train due to track renewel on the Sunniside section. At present "Sir Cecil" will take charge of the coal with 49 handling the passenger.

Mind you im sure there'l be a few copies of the timetable about, if not give us a shout. Looks like P&JR is firing "Sir Cecil", Mk1hater will be guard of the Coal, and for once me and Silverlink will be either floating or getting a few photos.
