Hi guys
Anyone got timings for Mondays Crewe, Carnforth, Cumbrian Coast, Newcastle run with 60009.
Main line steam has no timings as yet(Sat pm)
Any help much appreciated.
With the latest failure of Tornado & subsequent cancelled rosters its made me think how many Locos with Main line certificates are currently unable to perform for one reason or another and how many are therefore having to step up and fulfill more & more trains and therefore be worked much harder...
Anyone any idea od the timigs for the two S&C runs by Tornado this coming Tues & Thursday (23/25th April)?
The weather is looking good so should be excellent photographic conditions!

Is it running in on Santa specials on east Lancs by any chance?
Any info appreciated.
Visited East Lancs railway yesterday, Sunday, Oct 21st for their Autumn steam w-end. As usual could'nt fault the organisation, staff and locos on offer.

So, according to Main Line Steam Info Tangmere is back at Carforth, (hauld dead late yesterday ) anyone any info as to why it needs a 200 mile trip to get fixed and when it may appear from the bowels of Steamtown?:
Went to Stainmore 150 event at Kirby Steven this week-end. If any railway deserves to sucseed its this one. Lots of passion and hard work has obviously gone into it this far. Anyone planning a S & C photo journey in near future should call & visit.
Major funding still required, but eventual...
