Hmm, they're a company that painted an HST in Nanking blue and called it a Midland Pullman, I don't think dedication to livery authenticity is really a priority for them!

When they want to they will authentically recreate the livery down to the minutest detail but when they don't they won't. It isn't just the Midland Pullman that is in no way authentic. Carmine and cream Mk 3 sleepers, BR Green with small yellow warning panel 37/5s, etc. They do what they want, which is fair enough when they own them.
Is that 20118 and 20132 that went as far as Barrow Hill?
Everything still at Barrow Hill, apparently an issue with 37521
Haha, I guess the stock moving the other way made it all the way to Worksop then?Yes that's what's been said 118 & 132 with 37703, just 37521 to Crewe, looks like LSL have been mugged by Harry

Yes was losing time on the journey 54 minutes down at Barrow hill but the hour it was booked to be there meant arrived 6 minutes early.
As I suspect neither the club nor supporters club have approached LSL and it is also very doubtful the WCML between Carlisle and Preston will be open at the required time on a Sunday for a 13:30 kick-off I think the answer is no.
What time does the WCML open on Sundays?
Interesting, was that not recently purchased from DRS?
July time when it was switched from DRS to LSL. Saying that the 2x 20's they've moved on were only purchased a few months earlier than the 37
No, it's an LSL vehicle - 1661 was previously painted in Maroon as part of the Steam Dreams rake. And yes, it does seem like a rather odd choice given the Saphos Mk1s are Carmine & Cream, Statesman Mk2s are Choc & Cream Pullman style and the Mk3s are Intercity and ScotRail.
It's not a rumour, they sold some to West Coast. They have still got some catering vehicles.
Indeed. The majority of the Mk1 fleet moved over a while ago, with some vehicles going into Pres. Only 3 Mk1 Kitchens remain with Riviera now, while the final stragglers at Burton are up for sale (1x RK 80041 mid rebuild, RMB 1813 and BCK 21269). The now ex Riv set has already seen some use including heading down to Weymouth last weekend behind the 40.
Sitting in one of those moulded orange plastic seats and with the orange curtains flapping in the wind. I remember them on the Wolves - Eustons and sometimes chose the Mk1 restaurant car over the Mk2 coffins !! Happy days
