    Note the extra loop stop at Abington vs. the times posted earlier this week. Also, remembering last time, loop stops can be changed depending on how things are going... Don't get caught out like I was! I was sat in my car eating sandwiches when 6233 appeared 20 mins early! ](*,) Something behind was running late, so the loop stop was changed from Beattock station (foot of bank) to Beattock Summit...

    Gents, keep your eyes on UKsteam for this, the times seem to have been revised for both the L/E move and the tour since i last looked.

    That's a great idea Ralph, but looking at an early weather forecast we may be looking like windswept drowned rats. By the way as I'm taking my dear old Mum out for the day can she be an honorary Nat. Pres. member ? !

    My idea of meeting afterwards, is so that the nominated editor/producer/director of this epic can collect the tapes and get to work that evening, just to show how us up north can produce the goods in just a few hours.....

    Would you believe it, weather is going to be worst on Thursday. really soggy, and you know what Shap is like on a wet day. Hope the forecasters are wrong. ](*,)
