It states on the UK railtours Facebook page that the timings will be on RTT by 2100hrs.

Still seats in first class if you book with UK Railtours.

I was thinking of D1015.

Yes. Pea and Ham soup would go down well…..all over one’s shirt with all the bouncing.

Yes, we were booked on it as well. Hugely disappointing, but understandable.

St Pancras to Cricklewood, then along the freight only lines to Acton Wells, then along the Great Western mainline to West Ealing, then the Greenford branch and finally we joined the Chiltern line at Greenford. No running on LU Tracks. Had leg stretching stops and took pictures at each...

It was indeed. A great, but long and tiring day. Great work by all involved.

I’m sure they will.

The plan is for it to be 081 and 098, but I think the strike will mean it is unlikely to run now. Shame.

A bit off topic. Do LSL have their own drivers, or do they hire in staff from other TOC/FOCs?

Me and the Missus are travelling on it. Can't wait!

Down the NCL. Yes 73s on each end.

Yes, I saw a 73 and Mk2 set at Moorgate on one of the Traction DVDs, from Locomaster.

73s have been to Moorgate when hauling NR test trains. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 73s haul NR test trains down there once in a while.

Nice pictures.

Lots of slack timings there? Was there a planned break?

As above. http://www.ukrailtours.com/tourshow.asp?tourtype=excursion_trains&tourfile=150523_THE_JUNIPER_FACTOR.txt

Sounds interesting, but tours 2 and 3 in the dark, so you can't see anything. I understand slotting it in on busy lines is a problem, hence the timings, but it's too late for me.

I have found of the preserved railways I've been on, on the Ecclesbourne the staff are extremely friendly and approachable. Even fellow visitors are good, no serious anti social cranks the couple of times I've been.

I saw this info on IanVisits blog early this morning. I Have always wanted to the Brentford branch. Will make a day of it and do other branches off the GWML.
