    Let's hope Victor has all engines working after his check up today...

    Running fine and making up time now according to RTT.

    The level crossing I usually go to (King Street) was incredibly busy today with photographers - I've seen fewer turn out for steam and in fact I went elsewhere. What did disappoint me was once 9000 passed I began putting the camera away... when the "Swallow"-liveried 91+Mk.4 set passed in the opposite direction :Facepalm:

    I think it was originally scheduled to do that outside Stoke Tunnel though?

    Yes - but not the second one to be let past. And it is now blocking the one platform road available for the Norwich services, which is leaving the bobby with the unenviable choice of letting her out on one engine directly in front of an IEP, or blocking up the down ECML completely.

    I feel for those on the train but how far is this going to be allowed to go ?

    I admire the tour operators bravery , but first tour back a friday pm blast up the ECML was an interesting choice for an inaugural tour

    Is that LSL's ScotRail push-pull set behind it?

    I noted the 90 at the back was indeed named Royal Scot. Is the modified Mk. 1 at the back a generator car?

    If reports elsewhere are to be believed the 90 is working.
