Scots Guardsman to the seaside tomorrow?

It's rumour time again!
Heard from a normally reliable source that 46115 is having a run over to Scarborough tomorrow (23rd June).
No info about why, with what, or when.
If anyone hears anything definite, I'm sure you'll post!

 

Clearance checks?????????????????????????????????????

 

Nope, it has already been; 29th Nov last year.

 

Not unless it going to do the York circular for clearances for the SSE season, wasn't there something along the circular last year preventing it from getting the appropriate paperwork? Merely just a suggestion.

 

Rumour is it's just Carnforth - Scarborough and back. Presumably some sort of private charter?
Mind you, still nothing more than a rumour really. Perhaps we'll only know after the event, if there is an event!

 

Just had a call, it is running tomorrow from Carnforth to Scarborough, leaving Carnforth at 08:13 and is following the first Morecambe train to Leeds... It's working a private charter and i don't know of any return times...

 

Approx 15:00 off Scarborough on the return, apparently.

 

Thanks, i think i'll give it a miss to be honest, theres only 15 minutes left of the Part 3 DVD and that has to include the footage from the coming weekend at the Keighley gala... Hope to see others photos and footage though

Is it going via Garforth & Micklefield to York?

 

Does anyone know rough return timings through Skipton? The link on UKsteam doesn't seem to work - think it is probably my computer!!

 

just appeared on uksteam- but link to times not working -or not yet there
Given the times stated above,off Carnforth at 8-13am. its about a 50 min run to Hellifield, then a watering stop, then a run down to skipton - say about 20 mins
best i can do

John

Lovely! Despite saying i was going to give it a miss, i couldn't resist the temptation and went to Cross Gates she was running about 40 minutes down at that point, but came storming through like nobodies business

Footage to follow...

 

Ha Ha, I knew you would, and I'll bet you're at Colton later as well. :-D

Did you notice the bloke with the video camera on the footplate?

 

No passengers on the train at Leeds, just stopped for a few minutes to let the footplate video fellas mount up and off it went.

 

It's been moved on uksteam from the tours section (as a private charter) to the loco movements section as an ecs movement. Seems it only spends 1.3/4 hours at Scarborough.

 

46115 has left York on time at 1615 on its way back to Carnforth.

 

In sunny Scarborough this afternoon...[attachment=0:aezwick1]2009-0523.jpg[/attachment:aezwick1]
