The East Lancs tour seems to have come to a stand at Leicester for 30+mins. Any reason behind this lengthy stop?

That I don't know. Just picked up what was moving from a pic on FB.

31235 and 31210 are moving to Nemesis Rail.

Valencia - Estacio del Nord and Valencia Joaquin Sorolla are both terminal stations

I'm sure a thin yellow stripe above wouldn't harm the appearance to signify 1st class as today.

810006 1F17 0832 StP Shf over 40 late due to a defect terminated at Chesterfield. 1100 return started Chesterfield and over 15 late.

The accessible toilet at the 1st class end was oou leaving Sheffield on 810010 with the 1400 to St.P yesterday afternoon and the fitters (plumbers) were still trying to fix when it got to Derby

Ok. Thanks.

Read into this how you see it but tomorrow's (3/12/2025) 0700 Sheffield to St Pancras on RTT shows up dmu but changes en-route. Possibly a 810 working. Other 222 workings just show as diesel multiple unit throughout.

Timetables now on the Facebook page. No sign of shunters working on any of the 3 days

Thank you.

Looking at the timetable for the diesel gala this weekend, I noticed that there are the usual list of rakes A, B, C. A & B tend to be longer sets with shorter set C. What is rake E?

Timekeeping on Saturday got poor. 20mins late from about 11am and the 1345 off Oxenhope was +50 arriving at Keighley.

I looks like a thunderbird is heading south from Newark and passing Grantham.
