Looks like 1F14 has just cleared Weaver.

It was never going to clash, it was miles in front.

Sorry, I thought it had booked stops at Winsford, Hertford and Acton Bridge, that is why I was a bit worried.

The article says subscribers to the Railway Magazine were offered tickets. If they do more of these runs I think I'll have to sign up.
If that's true than we can forget the 3h52 40s record.

The record is 3h 52m 40s.
Line speed through Preston is 35mph already, so is this an extension of the normal restriction?
The permanent speed restriction through Preston is 35mph anyway, so it would always have had to slow down to that speed, surely?

Corrected
. Even harder for Avanti and Network Rail to get this right then.

And I suppose it’s so much more difficult to relax the line speed nowadays. BR never had to worry about TPWS activations.

Realtime Trains - 1S51 1202 Preston to Glasgow Central

The one you provided the link for shows 1S51 following 1Z57 from Carlisle at 13:27 although the passenger timetable has it departing at 13:13.The TPE is looped at Lockerbie to let The Royal Scot pass it. Nothing else in its path from what I can see.Realtime Trains - 1S51 1202 Preston to Glasgow Central

I don't see it, where are you all looking? TYIA
Do we have a link?

Looking at RTT, the TPE train will likely sit in the platform at Carlisle for 10-15 minutes to let the run past!

So taxpayer money being used to be donated to charity makes it all better?

I was misled by this as well - it looks like the normal WTT is for the train to leave Carlisle at 1317 and call at Lockerbie at 1333. But as you say they'll hold it for 15 minutes today - presumably what they'll actually do is let it out right behind the record train?

So any passengers on that TPE have their own journey delayed due to this PR event...
Hope nobody on that TPE had a connection to make at either Motherwell or in Glasgow itself, but hey when did paying passengers count?
The revised timings have it arriving in Lockerbie 14 minutes late, Motherwell 10 minutes late but Glasgow Central on time, there's obviously a lot of slack in the normal schedule.
Anybody on the TPE will have a different journey time today, as a pre-arranged timetable alteration. The journey planners will reflect that, so they can't "miss" a connection they were never booked to make.

Oh do be quiet you miserable thing.
No, the advertised arrival and departure times haven't been changed and don't match the revised timetable because of following 1Z57 from Carlisle except for the arrival time into Glasgow.
EDIT actually there's a last minute alteration showing .... but that's because it's been detected as running "late", its published timings were never altered.

And in fairness the "average Joe" on the TPE probably wouldnt know why they were held anyway!

A valiant attempt by LNR at Stafford. Scotrail, it's over to you

I'm looking forward to the Carstairs to Glasgow Central section - this will be challenging due to the large number of local services and flat junctions.
Every other day apart from today?
Anyone hoping to catch the 14:26 from Motherwell to Dalmuir via Glasgow Central Low Level will be disappointed I expect.
