Anyone know if City of Wells will be ready and running at Keighley for Easter w-end?

As a boy I lived in Leicester and travelled on the Great Central to London. Leicester Belgrave Road (GNR) to Skegness via John 'O Gaunt Poulton to Fleetwood (Out of B-Pool North 'old station') Lines into Blackpool Central. Midland main line (Leicester-Man Central via Matlock & Buxton)...

Thanks for replys guys.

Great footage-One question. I live 6 miles from carnforth and only knew about this 2 days after when it appeared on UK Main lines movement page. How does one find out BEFORE these events??!

Anyone confirm that 34046, Brautnton which travelled from Bury to Carnforth earlier thismorning is doing her Main line test on the Helliefield-Blackburn circuit-TODAY (EG off Carnforth 12.00 noonish) Any info appreciated.:)

There were quite a few mines that were mothballed for possible future use, (one has recently been re-opened in south wales-abliet in a relatively small way at present). If the current situation is true then this is an ideal oppotunity for either the collective railways or some other...

Thanks guys!

Anyone got definite info on which (if any) steam loco hauling this charter. Main line steam has it as Galatea or 48151, however Realtime trains has it as deisle hauled throughout. Any info greatly appreciated.:)

Hi guys Anyone got timings for Mondays Crewe, Carnforth, Cumbrian Coast, Newcastle run with 60009. Main line steam has no timings as yet(Sat pm) Any help much appreciated.

(Reply to "Teaboy")Scots Guardsman doe'snt seem to able to travel more than 15-20 miles before giving up! (reliably informed it has uneven tyre wear due to middle driving wheels being very slightly "out"-a problem it has suffered from most of its working life) Duke of Gloucester failed last...

Never thought about coaching stock but of coarse, your quite right. I know for instance that wcr had to dispatch engineers last summer for remedial work on the set used on the Jacobite. Wonder how many Mk 1's are lingering on preserved railways (sorry cant get used to calling them "Heritage...

Your most likely right about Tornado. Makes one wonder what state the new-build Patriot and Grange will be in after 5 years on Main line work.

With the latest failure of Tornado & subsequent cancelled rosters its made me think how many Locos with Main line certificates are currently unable to perform for one reason or another and how many are therefore having to step up and fulfill more & more trains and therefore be worked much harder...

Anyone any idea od the timigs for the two S&C runs by Tornado this coming Tues & Thursday (23/25th April)? The weather is looking good so should be excellent photographic conditions! (Nothing on Main line steam as yet on Saturday pm) Any info appreciated Thanks in advance!:):)

theres also no light eng movements shown to get Black 5's down to the west country. (Last known stabling point Shrewsbury/SVR on the 12th) but thats not suprising as the whole venture is Wcr & anything that involves David Smith is always shrouded in unnessesary subtifuge untill the last minute!

Full timings are on UK Main line Steam website.

According to UK Main line Steam, the forthcoming GBV1 tour will feature the 2 Black 5's, 44871/45407 on most days starting in Exeter to Parr on the 20th April, Newquey-Bristol on the 21st, Cardiff-Preston (Carnforth) on the 22nd, Carnforth-Edinburgh (light eng) on the 23rd up to Aberdeen &...

Anyone know if and when Brauntons brake problems will be fixed so she can do her Main line test and start to fulfil her booked, main line duties? (Know Rileys were fabricating new brass fitting last month)

She's due over S&C..Northbound on 25th April. Given good weather she should look bloody wonderful in the blue livery!

Green Arrow (in BR green) + Midland compound (anyone who saw the pairing of Leander + compound over S & C will Know why)!!
