Ironic, with the passenger runs timed (according to RTT) for 45mph max!
The passenger runs are timed 45mph where Tornado is running tender first. Chimney first the passenger runs are timed as 60mph

I have finally found reference to a queueing system being put in place for the unreserved seats. So no, not a scrum..... just a long wait, potentially in the cold.
As I write this, 2005 Monday, I see that Tornado still not left Belmont down yard,was due to leave 1923, as stock still not arrived , stopped at 1811.Can someone with better knowledge confirm as obviously could have a knock-on effect ,thanks
I got a video of it going through Bingley about half an hour ago, sorry for the long link not sure how else to get it from my icloud.

There were 9 vehicles in that rake too, rather than 7.

9 vehicles, so Tornado, the expected 7 coaches of passenger accommodation and the 67?
As the link to the rake doesn't seem to work anymore, can anyone tell me whether they are sealed up aircon Mk2s or the earlier variety with opening (sliding) windows please?
Iskra - thanks for that, it never occurred to me that the day ticket would work the barrier.
You are starting early!
I'm going to be early tomorrow, but not like this. I'm just giving mysellf easy connections to get to Skipton in plenty of time to see Tornado arrive.
Hope you have a good day. I'll be particularly interested to read about how the non-reserved passengers get on (oh look, a pun!) especially at intermediate stops. And whether you find room to get served in an Appleby pub/cafe.
I wonder if there are any 'normals' on the train at all?
Folks just wanting to travel, bought a ticket, find this jamboree going on, and can't work out what the fuss is all about
Lots of talk of reservations. How do you make one?
All reservations are gone.
So no turn up and go at all then? Best we can hope for now are photos?
