[CDM Transport]

Hello all,

I am asking about the traction that will haul the Salburn Railtours' railtour to (of course) Saltburn from Bath. The website does not state and if anyone knows what traction will haul it (5th-8th July). Any info is welcome!

Thanks,

Caleb

Who do they normally use for traction, that may give a clue? Also presume from the date that it arrives in Bath on the 5th, returns on the 8th, if so where does the stock stable? Just trying to work out if it will pass my house!

Usually a pair of 47's

I would imagine that the stock may well be used elsewhere over the weekend. Any tours starting in the Bristol area?

There's a northern belle Cardiff - Windsor (I think off the top of my head) on the 6th so may be Northern belle stock.

The tour actually runs from Saltburn (of course) to Bath which is the destination for this year's trip. The train will return to Saltburn on Monday.

The ECS runs to Southall where it stables over the weekend

Yes, as they stayed with the stock over the weekend. 47802 currently leads 1Z66

I unexpectedly came across this service yesterday, passed it (running as 1Z66 0958 Bath Spa to Saltburn) while it was stopped for pathing reasons at Sleaford at 1715 (I was on 2O22 1614 Skegness to Nottingham). It appeared to be reasonably well occupied.

 

[DarloRich]

assume this was the stock/loco's used on Sunday for the usual F1 special from Euston to MKC

I don't think that either 802/826 or the stock was used on Sunday.
