so does this mean we could get 75mph 20s now instead of potential 60mphs??

Looking at those timings te return seem to be the same as the originals and the outward only has altered times between B'ham Intl and Wolves to avoid the sit in Bescot loop so can't see it affecting a pair of 60mph migranes.

 

[Techniquest]

Shame it's not doing the Bescot track, won't be making an effort to pop up now.

 

[2030720310]

when does the ECS leave Carnforth (or wherever its coming from)?

 

[glenn]

when does the ECS leave Carnforth (or wherever its coming from)?

5Z20 01:59 Carnforth WCRC-Birmingham International 0635


Also on arrival at Carlisle 46115 Scots Guardsman should still be there,for any Steam Buffs

 

[2030720310]

so it waits around at intl 4 ages then??

 

[175001]

I'll be at Wigan NW for this one, so remember to wave when you pass!

 

[2030720310]

Go on get the 20s anyway you know you want to.

 

[37401]

[37412]

Well you'll need something to keep you warm...

 

[Phoenix]

[37401]

Nice one.

 

[D306]

I'm in coach E but I'll be with my head out from Birmingham INTL untill I get bored. I'll probs come and say hello to Phoenix, Andrewmay and Matt. I'll know who they are as I've met up with Phoenix before now

 

[37401]

cool il be on it from Birmingham new street with my head out of the window, untill i get very very cold

 

[33011]

Rumour has it as 20303/304 outwards and 20309/37423 on the return

 

[37412]

Rumour has it as 20303/304 outwards and 20309/37423 on the return

Recieved numorous texts today about 423 working the return, thinking of doing it on the rtn just from Crewe to Brum.

 

[37401]

Rumour has it as 20303/304 outwards and 20309/37423 on the return

sounds hellfire cant wait

 

[Woolybak8]

A few things i'd like to mention. Why on earth would 37423 be on a charter entitled 'The Fellsman Choppers'? Wouldnt it be the most logical thing to keep the same 20s on the tour Also, anyone on this tour who is remotely intested in 47s or 57s, the Scots Guardsman charter to Carlisle is to feature a Diesel haulage from Manchester Victoria to Hellifield, and another logical thing is to keep the Duff/Snatcher on for heat. One last thing, ill be in Coach C, with my Liverpool jacket on as usual

 

[generalvegitable]

subject to weather i will be on it from the start aswell

Yes - and if we must have a 37, why does it have to be a completely dud ETH pile of filth?! A very poor choice I'm afraid...

 

[37401]

yup i doubt we will have the 37`s with us however if we do it will only be getting a lift

 

[Techniquest]

Yes - and if we must have a 37, why does it have to be a completely dud ETH pile of filth?! A very poor choice I'm afraid...

Maybe complete lack of availability of ETS devices for the return? Maybe the 47 on the rear can do the ETS provision going north but not going back?
