Funny you should mention that....

The cars are not always there but the staff are very thinly stretched out and I have heard that they want issues reporting with 61016.

Looking forward to it (if it runs...)

I remember reading somewhere ages ago a mention of asbestos and a Peak. I couldn't tell you which one or where I read the article so it could just be hearsay but as I said I only believe means chances are it could be wrong

I believe that one of the 2 ex mainline Peaks is chocked full of asbestos hence when Network Rail brought in the higher standards it was decided to not overhaul the loco. I could be wrong though

Confirmed both class 69's off Bescot to Paddington this PM

Leander was working south for a tour on Sunday. The loco that failed was Scots Guardsman.

Yep. It failed at Carnforth an hour or two before we arrived with an AWS Fault

Enjoy your very railtoury route (Even by Railtour standards your tour doesn't half wander)

Wave as you pass. I am on the Cumbrian Mountain Express at Farringdon Curve Junction (Red 47's)

Initial reports do agree with that but with GBRF Charity tours and the 50 Fund expect the unexpected

I am travelling on the GBRF tour with the 3 50's (and various other surprises). It will be interesting to see what the third 50 is

Does anybody know the details about Sarah Siddons in terms of Bodywork (wood,metal etc) and work done over the years to preserve the locomotive. (Apologies if this has already been asked)

There was an electronic fault. Flying Scotsman was still working hard just behind a class 47

It will hopefully be an excellent day (Steam engine behaviour dependant). Hopefully all will be well unlike the last time Flying Scotsman visited the East coast mainline...

That's a bit harsh... (even if it might be a little bit true)

Fair play to a cracking team of people to get it going again

I believe it is on a staff outing of some sort. I don't know anymore than that I'm afraid

Thanks for the update
