I won't be making any further rumours, so I will sit back & wait.

Any ideas what the route from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh will be? Shotts? Carstairs? Coatbridge/Greenhill/Grahamston?

Id take a guess that that will be left up to NR to decide. Beens it hasnt been advertised at all.
Pure guess mind.

The route between Glasgow & Edinburgh will depend on service patterns, available paths & the most important being the drivers Route Knowledge.

Are you game?

Is the prize a free ticket for the tour?

 

[Whistler40145]

Not sure Chester025!

Surely you mean 37404 and 37431

 

[Techniquest]

Early prediction of 37423 paired with 37510. A second prediction is 37510 and 37218, with an incredibly noisy generator van between coach A and the locos...

 

[Chester025]

510 will be scrapped by then, possibly...

My magic ball reveals another combination, 37218+259

(Note how all the combinations I'm coming up with are all pairs of DRS machines I've already had...)

Why do they all have to be Standards? Lets have some Mixed pairs! 059+423? 218+409? 259+510?

Are we there, yet?

 

[Techniquest]

Like I said,my predictions are all ones I've done.Not had 059,087 or many of the DRS fleet as a whole.Anyway,I've played my part in 37 bingo,won't be long until we see what turns up!

 

[Whistler40145]

Has 261 been considered, along with another Blue Star fitted 37?

Busy as a bee, 423!

Very nice shine, 409!

In a state, 218!


And so on...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does anyone know what route the Glaswegian Growler will be taking between Huddersfield and Glasgow ? The website mentions passing the imposing Cumbrian fells, so I'm guessing the WCML part part of the way ?

 

[4SRKT]

I understand the route is Huddersfield > Healey Mills, Normanton, Whitehall Curve > Shipley > Carlisle > WCML > Glasgow.

Many thanks for the info

[yorksrob]

Cheers for that. I take it those are the final timings then ?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Hmm, Beattock Summit, Law Junction DPL and Beattock loops are all required, shame it's too close to exam time. Looks like a good day out!

I hope not! It would be disappointing if we did not make it to Glasgow.

Any more forum members wish to book on this?

 

[yorksrob]

There are a couple of routes I need as well. Quite pleased it's doing Oxenholme - Carlisle and the Carlisle - Newcastle routes.

[yorksrob]

ooh, isn't there a famous castle there ?

 

[Max]

Also now worth noting that tyne valley and York have been removed from the new timings on the return.
