Settle Carlisle & The Tyne Valley and Edinburgh Easter Statesman

[DarloRich]

Does anyone have timings for these two trains. I am looking for the times back for the first and the time out and back for the second. I hope to photograph them near Northallerton if i can.

thanks

Times for the EES are here; I would also like to know timings for the S&C tour - all I've been able to find is the limited info on Railtourer web site.

Well, you probably won't get any better timings than on the Railtourer site, since it is run by them and says the timings are confirmed.

It is all set to go anyway and it was sat in Scarborough platform 1 this evening - it is hanging off the end of the platform, which shows the length of it! Up to Carlisle, 47826 will be on the back. I didn't get the number of the loco that will be in charge as I was surprised to see it whilst arriving on the humble 185 and wasn't walking the length of platform 1 to find out! It is, however, in an all over blue livery (47 obviously)

Hope anyone on it has a great day out...to anyone getting off at the likes of Seamer etc...remember to check there is a platform there before alighting...I bet over half of it will be off the platform in most cases!

It is a large logo one with a name - county of essex?

It may have a BR logo, I can't remember to be honest. Can't say I saw a name.
For some reason 47851 is stuck in my mind, but I may have just made that number up! :P

the one starting at Ely went through Northallerton bang on time. I think 2x57 (certainly purple Ronnie on the back!)

Shot of Settle Carlisle Tyne Valley as it crossed Smardale Viaduct (north of Kirkby Stephen) - BR blue looks good against the scenery. 13 coaches, Scarborough Spa on rear.
